HNCO is committed to preserving the legacy of Shaykh Nazim Adil through many non-profit organisation works.
Our Story
Hajjah Naziha Adil Kabbani is Ahlu 'l-Bayti, a descendant of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) through her paternal and maternal lineages, which include the polestar of saints, Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani, and the globally renowned poet Jalaluddin Rumi (may God be pleased with them). Hajjah Naziha is the eldest child of Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Adil (d. 2014), founder of the Naqshbandiyya-Nazimiyya Sufi Order, and Hajjah Amina bint Ayesha (d. 2004), a shaykha and Islamic scholar who wrote extensively on the lives of the prophets, and whose family escaped religious persecution in Tatarstan, Russia. She married Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani, Shaykh Nazim's deputy and spiritual heir, and together they advise Muslims around the world.
Hajjah Naziha was born in Damascus into a unique household devoted to the service of Allah (swt). She lived next door to the renowned Shaykh `AbdAllah al-Fa'iz ad-Daghestani, then leader of the Naqshbandi Sufi Order, who gave her the distinct honor of translating his Arabic lectures to Turkish. Shaykh `AbdAllah predicted she would be a teacher of women, which became a reality in the early 1990s. Over the years she has served as: Chairwoman of the Kamilat Muslim Women's Organization; Writer for The Muslim Magazine, a national quarterly read by policymakers on Capitol Hill; and Co-Chair (Women's Interests) of the International Islamic Unity Conference in Washington, DC.
A Beautiful Story
Hajjah Naziha advises women on issues of Shari`ah, family life, and reconnecting with their spiritual selves. She has traveled extensively throughout the Middle East, United Kingdom, Europe, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Australia, South America, the Caribbean, Canada and the United States.
For more than twenty years, Shaykh Hisham and Hajjah Naziha have advanced Shaykh Nazim's legacy by directing various emergency disaster relief and humanitarian aid projects in Banda Aceh, Indonesia (tsunami relief); NWFP, Pakistan (earthquake relief); Kabul, Afghanistan (modern medical equipment and winter clothing); and Istanbul, Turkey (earthquake relief). HNCO is the natural evolution of their past work to advance those outreach projects dearest to Shaykh Nazim's heart.

Our Mission
Our mission is to enable individuals and communities to achieve societal harmony and moral excellence, by:
- Working proactively to present peace and interfaith harmony.
- Enabling people to benefit from the pursuit of self-discipline and moral excellence, so that they can manage life challenges (such as racism, boredom, lack of belonging, personal/relationship breakdowns, and disillusionment with media and political narratives on their culture/faith) in such a way that they take productive steps forward, rather than letting such challenges make them vulnerable to a life of crime or hatred.
