Nakhlistan

Nakhlistan is a non-profit Organization ( N. P. O. 030-581 ) that has been established since 1984 and was founded by the Late Dawood Parker, Shaikh Sa'dullah Khan, Shukoor Mowzer and a few friends and started by cooking TWO POTS of food with the aim to spread the joy and happiness experienced by Muslims on the occasion of EID to the needy and destitute. This gives meaning to the month-long intensive spiritual training undertaken by Muslims.

Our name, Nakhlistan, in Persian means Oasis. It is a place from which sustenance is received after enduring a journery filled with lessons of sacrifice and perseverance for the pleasure of Allah. On the day of EID-UL-FITR, we hope to provide those less fortunate with some form of sustenance hoping to bring some relief to their strife. All funds raised are used to prepare food that's distributed on Eid day to Masajids, Madaris, Prisons & Old Age Homes.

    Shaykh Sayyed Muhammad Al Ninowy visits Jamaa Khaana in Mbkweni, Wellington

    Shaykh Al Ninowy is the guest of Habibia Soofie Mosque and graciously accepted the invitation extended by Nakhlistan to visit our Jamaa Khaana in Wellington. This process was requested by Sheikh Hamied, initiated by Sheikh Sa'Dullah and confirmed by Hafiz Faizel Firfirey of Habibia Soofie Mosque.

    As the Shaykh entered the Jamaa Khaana the young boys rendered a Qasidah and it was done in the same spirit as when our Holy Prophet [SAW] entered Madina, when the young children welcomed him with song.

    The programme was short, yet filled with purpose. Sheikh Hamied, Spiritual Leader of the Jamaa Khaana, led the Jamaah in Thikr after which Shaykh Al Ninowy, rendered a Naseegha.
     
    The Shaykh's words were simple. He spoke about the importance of children and family and ended with the words that if you love what Prophet Mughamad [SAW] loved, then you will love Allah. After this, in a tear invoking moment, two young boys took Shahaadah with Shaykh Al Ninowy. The Shaykh named them Abubakr and Umar. As the Shaykh left the Jamaah Khaana, he told Shukoor Mowzer to keep up with the good work and never ignore the poor and the needy.
