FEZ: City of Saints
Exclusive Documentary Screening

City of Saints & Furthest Mosque – Exclusive Manchester Screening with Shaykh Muhammad Abu Bakr Ba Shuaib, Shaykh Yahya Rhodus, Shaykh Faid Muhammad Said, Dr Fuad Nahdi, Mansur Suleman & Special Guests

This exclusive documentary follows the journey of some of the worlds leading Muslim thinkers in a gathering that took place at the heart of an ancient Islamic city. Quba Initiative is honoured to be hosting this unique screening here in the city of Manchester!

In March 2011, on the eve of the 'Arab Spring', leading Islamic scholars convened in the ancient city of Fez for a summit seeking hope and a new vision for the future of the Muslim world. Among the international participants in this historic summit chaired by Shaykh Abdallah Bin Bayyah was Habib Umar bin Hafiz, a prominent scholar and founder of the renowned Dar al Mustafa Seminary in Tarim, Yemen.

It was Habib Umar's first trip to the Maghreb and the film captures his travels and responses as he journeys through a land brimming with spirituality, knowledge and vast history. From the serene courtyards of the University of Qarawiyyin to busling souk streets, from walled city of Fez to the mountainous sanctuary of Moulay Idris, the film shares the spiritual secrets of the places and their stories.

The beauty of the great city of Fez, founded by descendants of the Noble Prophet (May Allah swt shower blessings upon him), is shared by a visitor who is himself a direct descendant of that great household. The result is a moving meeting of two traditions that form the very core of great Islamic narrative.

THE FURTHEST MOSQUE DOCUMENTARY
Following the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) recommendation to journey to three Mosques (Makkah, Madinah and Jerusalem), This film sets out in the company of British bass player, Danny ‘Hamza’ Thompson to discover the reasons why the last of these three holds such an inportant place in the hearts of Muslims everywhere.
Come and join us on this incredible spiritual journey with some of the leading Islamic scholars alive today
