This foundation would not have come to life if it was not for the support of Shaykh Mouhammadoul Hady ibn Shaykh Al Islam El Hadj Ibrahim Niass (RA). Hereby, the Medina International Foundation would like to take this opportunity to honor his noble memory. He was the first to approve the idea of this foundation in order to instore a social networking tool uniting the whole Tijani Community. He was a visionary and was known worldwide in the Tijani Community with his voice which resembles his father's. We have a special affection for him since he was the one to give the Idjaza (Authorization, License to transmit) to Shaykh Mamour Insa Diop thereby strengthening their already profound relationship.  

         Medina was the city where the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) took refuge when he left Mecca. Hence, it represented Help and Support for him during hard times. Medina was the City of Peace and Tranquility. Ironically, that what happened to Shaykh Ibrahim Niass when he had to move from his home village to a Town  now called Medina Baye. Medina is the home for those who need a new place to call home. A place where all dreams and wishes come true. A place where Spiritual Knowledge from the Kingdom of Allah overflows; Solidarity, Mutual Aid, Compassion and Devotion are its building blocks.

         There are two things people really value nowadays which are time and money. The first cannot be brought back and the second is the key that open most doors.

Shaykh Mamour Insa Diop taught us how to sacrifice our time and money for the service of the Good and the Truth. He did not teach us by words but by actions. He helps and supports individuals in Senegal on a daily basis with their needs without asking anything in return save the agreement of Shaykh Ibrahim Niass. Thus, we copied him by creating Medina International and working behind no personal purposes.

Thank You for being such a perfect example, for guiding through the Right Path and for showing the way to live a true Happy Life! Thank You for purifying our hearths, hearths that were once prisoners of our desires. Thank You for Teaching us Respect and Modesty, Dedication and Relentless Hard Work...
