Our teacher and spiritual guide is Shaikh ‘Abd al-Qadir’s direct descendant, Sherif Muhammad Haydara Al-Jilani.

Sanad Collective is an Ottawa and Montreal-based collective of community members who seek to facilitate learning environments, spiritual gatherings, and a platform for community initiatives.

Our Vision is to provide sustained opportunities for people to pursue knowledge (ʿilm), practice self-refinement (tazkiyah), and engage in community outreach (daʿwah).

Sanad Collective understands knowledge as being that which is passed from teacher to student in a chain that goes back to the Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ. Sanad Collective is also centered on self-refinement in the path to God: taking our faith to ever-deeper levels of personal growth. In addition to this internal work, Sanad Collective strives to serve the broader community, to step up and to provide for its needs where possible, and to be a bridge-building force amongst its members. We aim to have accessible and family-oriented spaces, which can benefit anyone from our community.

Our Mission is to express the goals of seeking knowledge, practicing self-refinement, and engaging in outreach through the provision of circles of knowledge, gatherings of remembrance (dhikr), and working together towards common goals and supporting one another’s journeys (soḥba).

A main component of these initiatives is to benefit from local teachers, as well as host scholars from the neighbouring regions and from abroad. At this time, Sanad Collective’s main fulltime teacher, Shaykh Hamdi Ben Aissa, who has studied in Tunisia, Syria and the prestigious Dar al-Musṭafa in Tarīm, Yemen, is a link in this chain of traditional knowledge, and offers to pass it on through a variety of classes and halaqas offered on a weekly basis.

A resource for traditional qasidas (poems, odes), naats and nasheeds taken from around the world, most of which are written by various spiritual masters of the sacred path of sufism (tassawuf - the Islamic science of spirituality).

'The aim of qasidas or spiritual odes is to worship the creator, by turning the hearts to the Divine, who says 'And when My servants ask you of Me, truly I am close' (Quran 2:186).

The purpose of qasidas in the Sufi path is to convey the experiential gnosis of forebears to subsequent generations, for what comes from the heart goes into the heart, and most of the poets who wrote them where Shaykhs of the spiritual paths (tariqa) who addressed their words to those with experiences like themselves or to aspirants.

The person who can benefit from such qasidas is someone whose way lies with the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), and whose heart lies with Allah'
