🌍 About the Event

The Shaykh Hassan Cisse Ziyara & Commemoration is an annual public program celebrating one of the most impactful Muslim leaders of our time. Shaykh Hassan was a world-renowned Senegalese Islamic scholar, decorated humanitarian, and Tijani Sufi shaykh who served as the spiritual guide to millions of Muslims across Africa and beyond. As founder of the African American Islamic Institute (AAII)—a UN-affiliated NGO—he championed humanitarian aid, health care, education, food and water access, and development for communities throughout Africa.

This annual gathering brings together scholars, activists, poets, and humanitarians for reflections and lectures aimed at honoring Shaykh Hassan’s legacy and impact on the African diaspora in the U.S. and abroad.

🕌 This Year's Theme: “A Prophetic Prescription for Building Community.”

🎤 Our keynote speaker is Shaykh Mouhamadou Mahy Cisse, a Senegalese Islamic scholar and spiritual advisor to thousands of Muslims in New York, across the U.S., and around the globe.
