About 12seconds for Peace

12seconds for Peace - Wadum Bashir

Today's video is a very important one from Wadum Bashir of Khartoum in Sudan. Bashir is a follower and spiritual son of Islam's Gandhi: the sufi mystic; Mahmoud Mohamed Taha.

Executed in January 1985 for crimes against Islam, Mahmoud Mohamed Taha was without a doubt, possibly one of Islam's leading modern heroes. Like his Indian near-contemporary, Mahatma Gandhi, Mahmoud Taha was a key figure in the fight for the independence of his homeland from British-Egyptian rule.

It is thus with great pleasure that we bring you a video of Wadum Bashir putting forward the ideas of his teacher for a world based on peace and justice.



If you wish to find out more about the history and teachings of Ustaz Mahmoud, you can find a great deal of information on the The Republican's website here: The Republican Thought.
