Islamic Calligraphy

About The Artist

Weather that mid-autumn evening nine years ago, I vividly recall, had the usual wet, chilly feeling we expected that time of the year in Surrey, my hometown just beyond the southern edge of Vancouver, British Columbia. Yet the wind chimed unmistakably with delight, for our quiet little town, my own neighborhood was honored that day by a visit from a great spiritual master. His Holiness Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani, a master of the Naqshbandi-Haqqani Sufi Order, had accepted an invitation to Vancouver extended to him by his numerous disciples in the Pacific Northwest, and now sat before us exuding the grace and serenity that is the hallmark of Sufi saints.
