Photos & videos – The Shaykh's visit to Lyon (12/2019)

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
و الصلاة و السلام على أشرف المرسلين
و على اله و اصحابه أجمعين

Sidi Shaykh’s stay in Lyon lasted almost a week. A stay rich in teaching for all those who visited him (interested people and disciples alike) from all over France. For once, 2 women converted to Islam and more than 5 people had the good fortune to take the bay‘a (the pledge) on the spot with Sidi Shaykh (4 women and 1 man).

Sidi Shaykh also took advantage of the exceptional landscape of Condrieu (a town near Lyon where the zawiya is located) to try a hot-air balloon flight, which we present below, of course, in photos and videos.

We take this article as an opportunity to greet and thank the disciple Fathi, his wife, the disciple Fatiha and her whole family for organising an event that spread over many days.

Find at the bottom of the page an album with all the photos.

Here is the team to whom we owe the smooth running of the whole programme.

The Shaykh’s gathering, during which the disciples or outside visitors put their questions to the Shaykh. The Shaykh’s answer is then translated into French. Find below the translated answers in video.
