He said: “The origin of Tijjaniyya denomination is Shehu Tijjani (RTA) who was a Moroccan. Allah has hierarchised mankind into four strata: the prophets, the companions, those who love and adhere to the teachings of the first three.
“All the prophets are sent to make the necessary preparations for the arrival of the last prophet of Allah, Muhammad (SAW). All prophets are known to be without sin and they can be identified by mankind. This latter characteristic is also applicable to the prophets’ companions but not to the saints who made the fourth category of Allah’s classification of mankind. Indeed many of these saints live incognito. This therefore makes it a bit difficult for us to recognise them but Allah Almighty knows them. We can’t ignore the fact that saints are found only among devout Muslims, in other words, every Muslim can be tagged a saint but it is only Allah that evaluates our faith.

According to Tijjaniyya denomination, the late Shehu Tijjani has his descent from the household of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and from his name you need just to mention 26 names before arriving at the name of the prophet. This is the reason why he who loves the prophet, loves Shehu Tijjani and vice versa.

Before the death of Shehu Tijjani, he made it known that Shehu Ibrahim Inyass (RTA), a Senegalese would be his companion and he would take charge in propagating the Tijjaniyya denomination to every nook and cranny of the Islamic world.

During the event, funds were raised funds to construct and expand existing JAKFAS facilities to cater to the growing needs of the expanding community.
