The Mosque of Al-Nasir Muhammad at the Citadel in Cairo, Egypt
The Mosque of Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad was the royal mosque of both the Citadel and Cairo itself, for it was here that the sultans of Cairo performed their Friday prayers, except on religious feasts, when prayer took place in a large gathering at the hippodrome beneath the Citadel walls.
It is reported that a craftsman from Tabriz came to Cairo during the reign of al-Nasir Muhammad and that it was he who built other minarets covered with faience, as was the fashion in Persia.

 Qadriyya
Sheikh Nasir Muhammad Umar Kabara, a noted Islamic scholar and philsopher was born in 1912 in Guringuwa village outside Kano, Nigeria.
Nasir did not accept such didactic relationship, and consequently, with diffidence and respect, always requests for further elaboration of what he did not understand of what he learnt from his teachers - who themselves were only too willing to oblige the young scholar.
At the age of seventeen, Muhammad Nasir was really too young to be accepted as a member of the Qadiriyya but, as his grandfather, Mallam Nakabara - an extremely well learned Mallam - wished him to enter the order, Shaykh Sa'ad had a little choice but to give him the wazifa.

He now had to turn his attention back to Iberia, to deal with a crusade proclaimed by Pope Innocent III.

Just as from the small life-germ grows the man, and he does not lose his individuality for all the changes which he undergoes, so from this man is made the higher man, his state being changed, and he himself being made to grow into what he cannot conceive of at present.
The greater the faith in the good or bad consequences of a deed, the greater is the incentive which urges a man to, or restrains him from that deed.
