"Who does not thank people, in fact does not thank God." - Prophetic Tradition

This is a brief note of thanks to all those of the Haqqani Foundation and others, who made this Homepage possible. Since no words could ever express the gratitude necessary to these individuals for their kind and patient help, we will simply remember their names:

First and foremost, our grandshaykh, Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Adil al-Haqqani, without whose presence in our life, we would have continued in the darkness of our own egoes, and whose spiritual presence permeates every moment of our existence as his followers and his servants.

Second to our grandshaykh, our deep gratitude and heartfelt love and appreciation go to his caliph, Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani, who leaving a comfortable and established life inhis homecountry, came to the United States, to strive and struggle on a daily basis to establish the foundations and roots of the Naqshbandi Sufi Way in the Americas. No appreciation would express our love and thanks to him for that, and we hope that in some small way this humble homepage can be a token of that appreciation.
