The prominent British Muslim Sufi leader, Dr Abdalqadir as-Sufi, has passed away in Cape Town, South Africa.
Born Ian Dallas in Scotland in 1930, Dr Abdalqadir was the leader of the Darqawi-Shadhili-Qadiri tariqa and the Murabitun movement.
He wrote several books and was instrumental in the founding of mosques in Norwich in England, Granada in Spain, Cape Town in South Africa, San Cristobal in Mexico and Stralsund in Germany.
Over the years Dr Abdalqadir was responsible for inspiring thousands of mainly western converts to Islam, and communities of his students can be found across the world. Among his students include Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, Shaykh Abdalhaqq Bewley and many others who have all made major contributions to da’wah and Islamic scholarship.
His writing encompasses well over 20 books, as well as many essays and articles. Perhaps most notable has been his call for the proper implementation of zakat, a return to just forms of trade, and the revival of Imam Malik’s legal school.
