Fadhlalla Haeri

Sheikh Fadhlalla Haeri is a Sufi sheikh. As a businessman, he established several manufacturing and consulting firms in the Middle East, primarily in the oil industry. He has been a religious teacher for more than 20 years and has written many books on Islam.

Haeri was born in Karbala, Iraq; his ancestors were respected teachers of Islam. Haeri studied in Europe and America and obtained undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in science and engineering.

Haeri has received permission (idhn) as a Sheikh of Instruction, from lines (tariqahs) of Sufic teaching including the Darqawi-Shadhili, the Chisti, and the Rifa'i. His teaching calls for the fulfillment and completion of human potential both inwardly and outwardly. Haeri currently lives in the Republic of South Africa, where he works as a teacher of Islam.

In 1979, Haeri went to the United States to establish a spiritual foundation, the Zahra Trust, for education about Islam. The Zahra Trust currently publishes a wide variety of books through its affiliate, Zahra Publications, and has established several spiritual and medical centers in Asia, Europe and South America. The American Institute of Qur'anic Studies at Bayt-ud-Deen, the U.S. base of Zahra Trust, was inaugurated in December, 1981.
