“The Book of Wisdom” Seminar

Al Hikam of Shaykh Ahmad ibn Ata Illah as-Sakandari A seminar open to public  at the ADAMS Center in Sterling, VA. Thank you to all who made it possible for us to hear the commentaries of the speakers as they explored this enlightening wisdom.

Shaykh  ibn Ata’Illah (d.708h/1309ce) was the third khalifah of the Shadhdhuli School, his teacher being Shaykh Abul Abbas al Mursi, khalifah of Shaykh Abul Hasan as Shadhdhuli.  He was a Maliki faqih who became responsible for systematizing the teachings of his two predecessors who did not leave any written works. Al-Hikm is his  most famous work, being a collection of aphorism which are the pure pith of the Shadhdhuli teachings on the ceasing of self-direction and total reliance upon Allah as the Planner of one’s life.
