Shaykh Mohamed Faouzi al-Karkari, guest of the Parapsychology Institute of Joinville (Brazil)

On 11 October 2025, the spiritual master Sidi Mohamed Faouzi al-Karkari (may Allah sanctify his secret) gave a lecture at the Parapsychology Institute of Joinville, in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, as president of the Al-Karkari Institute for Sufi Studies.

Before a packed hall, with just as many people following by video conference, the Shaykh spoke on the theme of psychology and its close link with inner well-being, one of the consequences of walking the Sufi path.

A balance between body and spirit, outer and inner, physical and spiritual: an important notion developed throughout the lecture, and the message that the Prophet of Islam, prayer and peace be upon him, took upon himself to convey to all of humanity.

“Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.” This verse echoes that balance, and the participants experienced it on the spot by repeating in unison the words “La ilaha illa Allah”.

The presence of the participants, and their enthusiasm and joy, bear witness to the success of this lecture.
