It is so nice to hear of shayouk that come from non Muslim backgrounds, so I overjoyed to hear of such a person currently living in Sweden.

Danish brother Said Bak of Bakistan fame (follow him on twitter) informed me this morning of a Swedish convert who has ijazah in the Chishti order of Tasawwuf. Shaykh Mohammad Muslim Eneborg’s silsila includes our tariqa’s grand Shaykh, Hadrat Aqdas Shaykhul Hadith Muhammad Zakariyya (ra) himself.

Brother Said also mentioned that Shaykh Muhammad Muslim was an Imam here in the UK for a while some years ago so I am sure some of you may have heard of him.  I haven’t which is why i’m getting all exited
