The two most glaring misconceptions in our time are about true sources of health and true sources of Islam. Sufi Sanctuary aims to clarify and educate the public about these two crucial matters with classical, verifiable sources.

It aims to fill the void in society by bringing forth holistic routes for health and genuine sources to feed the soul from classical Islam.

Shaykha Sayyida Asra Bukhari, founder of sufisanctuary family of sites

Born in India, raised in America and awakened in Syria, Asra Adiba Bukhari is the
daughter of Syed Shah Maqdum Muhyideen Bukhari, rahimahu Allah, who spread
Islam in Las Vegas after emigrating from India in the 70’s of the last century. His
forefather, the great wali, Syed Muhammad Badesha Bukhari, rahimahullah, left the
dunya and his position as Chief Justice in the King’s High Court for a barren land.
Upon realizing his Chief Justice was not returning, the King of Hyderabad, Mehboob
Ali Khan, built a masjid in the desert for him and soon people followed him there
naming the town after him, Sayyidabad.
Springing from such roots, Asra was cast on the route of Sacred Knowledge by
various shuyukh includiing tajwid from the late Shaykh Abu al Hassan Muhyideen al
Kurdi of Damascus, rahimahullah, Hanafi fiqh from Shaykh Jamal al Zahabi,
hafizhahullah, and a variety of subjects by her main mentor in all disciplines, of deen
and dunya, Shaykh Muhammad al Yaqoubi, hafizhahullah. She was the first female
student authorized by Shaykh Muhammad to initiate people into the Shadhili way
on his behalf. Academically, she is trained in psychology, nutrition and emergency
medicine. In addition, she has written many articles on Islam and Tasawuf. She has
been using her training to benefit the ummah for many years. The highlight of her
education, however, is not taken from books but from exposure to Sayyidna al
Shaykh Muhammad al Yaqoubi, as she is blessed that the Shaykh is a companion of
her father and other male relatives. She was reared in this blessed milieu, of
observing the sunnah up close, for over a decade through the countless encounters
she has had with the Shaykh amidst her family.
Hundreds of people have written to her on how their lives were transformed after
implementing the knowledge she was given and shares. She believes the two
subjects in dire need of implementation in the West are ‘Aqida and Adab. She
presents Islam with true integrity as instilled in her by her father and her teachers.
