What if you slept, And what if, In your sleep, You dreamed, And what if, In your dream, You went to heaven, And there plucked a strange and beautiful flower, And what if, When you awoke, You had that flower in your hand, Ah, what then?
“Man is the Shadow of God in the World. The World is the Shadow of Man.”

About
“Any road that does not follow science, ends in darkness” – Haji Bektesh Vali Sayyid Muhammad b. Sayyid Ibrahim Thani
Imam ul-Mulk IV Al Sharif Ahmed Ibn Abbas Al Askari is the Founder & CEO of Alcyone Technology, a Canadian life enhancement and biotechnology company which offered solution oriented consulting, training services, and products to government and private organizations looking to create or further evolve existing radicalization prevention and programs. A hereditary Nawab and Imam ul-Mulk IV by hereditary title, Al Sharif’s radicalization prevention efforts in Canada have had a global impact, and were recognized by the Canadian government, and the United States government. He contributes to society in the capacity of being a loving father and is an executive director of one of India’s most prestigious NGO’s which advocates for better relations between India and the Arab world and an end to the Arab-Israeli conflict with a peaceful two-state solution.
By passion, Al Sharif Ahmed is a researcher of political science and classical Islam, initiated by the Khwajagan i-Naqshband, known as the Masters of Wisdom, or Khwajagan. His research of twelve years under the tutelage of one of the world’s leading authorities on classical Islam of the 20th century – Mawlana GrandShaykh Nazim Adil al-Qubrusi (1921-2014) who initiated him in 2002, led him to the discovery of a great treasure – the forgotten central tenant in Islam of covenant theology, which leads to self-realization.
The late GrandShaykh Nazim was a direct paternal descendant of the founder of Sufism Sultan ul-Awliya Shaykh ‘Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani over twenty-four generations through his eldest son and main successor the venerable Shaykh ‘Abd al-Wahhab, and was the second most influential Muslim in the world according to a 2009 Reuters online poll. GrandShaykh Nazim was regularly recognized among the world’s 50 most influential Muslims. In the annual publication, The 500 Most Influential Muslims: he was ranked 49th, 49th, 48th, 45th, and 42nd in the 2009-2013 editions, respectively.
Guided Ones: Muhtadun
(3:33) “Lo! Allah chose Adam and Noah, the Family of Abraham, and the Family of ‘Imran over all other beings, They were descendants one of another. Allah is Hearer, Knower.”
Islam requires Muslims to unequivocally accept as Guided Ones [Muhtadun مهتدون] with love and fealty Allah’s Chosen People – the continued line of descent of the eldest sons of the Children of Adam and Eve from whom the Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [lit. “The Chosen One”] directly descends – known over the generations as the Sethites, the Semites, the Ishmaelites, the Arabs, the Adnanites, the Kana’anites, the Qurayshites, the Hashemites, the Muttalibites, culminated in the appearance of the Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa b. ‘Abd Allah, and from him, the Heiress of the Seal of Prophets Fatima al-Zahra, and the good among the Prophet’s Ahl al-Bayt (House of Fatima al-Zahra b. Sayyidina Muhammad b. ‘Abd Allah and caliph Imam ‘Ali b. Abi Talib) – also known as the Banu Fatima (Children of Fatima). Existence of this bloodline which continues to produce Guided Ones [Muhtadun مهتدون] for this Ummah is the harbinger of Divine Help through illumination and extraterrestrial defense [مَدَدِ السَّمَاءِ] in each generation, and persecution or indifference to it the opposite.
These writings contain the treasure trove of the details of Imam ul-Mulk IV Al Sharif Ahmed Ibn Abbas Al Askari’s findings under Mawlana GrandShaykh Nazim’s direction, as they evolved, in service of Muslim civilization and humanity.
Expression of love and fealty: The largest engraved emerald gemstone in the world – The Mogul Mughal Emerald. Weighing 217.80 carats, this emerald tablet dates back to the year 1695. It belonged to the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb who reigned between 1658-1707 and is adorned with the names of the Holy Prophet, his daughter the Heiress of the Seal of Prophets Fatima al-Zahra and the Twelve Imams of Ahl al-Bayt ending with “wal-Mahdi al-Qaim.” The Great Mughal Emperors like the Ottoman Sultans governed their Muslim subjects by Hanafi law, were Sufi initiates, and doctrinally were ‘Sunni-Twelvers‘. This gem is on display as part of the Al Thani Collection at the Museum of Islamic Art, Doha, Qatar, after it was acquired from Christie’s for $2.2 Million USD. The translation of the inscription reads: ‘O Merciful One, O Compassionate One, O God. God bless Muhammad and ‘Ali and Fatima and al-Husayn, and al-Hasan and ‘Ali, and Muhammad and Ja’far, and Musa and ‘Ali, and Muhammad and ‘Ali and al-Hasan and the Steadfast [al-Qaim] al-Mahdi.‘
“The struggle between Man and Self is symbolized by Body and Shadow, and God by Soul. Without the Soul, the Body cannot act. Without the Body, the Shadow cannot be cast, soهو is really in charge?”
– Imam ul-Mulk IV Al Sharif Ahmed Ibn Abbas Al Askari
The Prophet ﷺ is reported to have said in an authentic tradition: “Behold! My House (Ahl al-Bayt) is like the Ark of Noah. Whoever embarked on it was saved, and whoever turned away from it perished.”

The greatest treasure unearthed by Imam ul-Mulk IV Al Sharif Ahmed Ibn Abbas Al Askari is his discovery of the (much concealed) widely accepted Sunni belief in Twelve Imams of Ahl al-Bayt during the classical Islamic period and mainstream recognition of the existence of a biological line of descent from the eleventh dynasty of Ahl al-Bayt – the House of al-Imam Hasan al-Askari. This discovery helped Al Sharif uncover the existence of a continuously present elite body of Sunni Muslims throughout history who believed the Twelfth Imam Sahib uz-Zaman Imam Muhammad al-Mahdi b. Hasan al-Askari is the Awaited Mahdi.
His Exalted Highness VII Nizam’s turban ornament – The collection of Jewels of the Nizam of Hyderabad is the most expensive collection in India. It consists of 173 items and includes more than 25,000 diamonds weighing over 12,000 carats, 2000 emeralds, and 40,000 pearls. The collection includes the 184.75 carat Jacob Diamond, which is among the seven largest diamonds in the world, valued alone at well over $124 million USD (2008). Like the Great Mughal Emperors, Hyderabad’s Mughal appointed Nizams were also devout ‘Sunni-Twelvers‘.
“Why should Man fear the earth’s tightness, loneliness and darkness (Qabr)? His immense soul is entombed within his small clay body all his life. When he closes his eyes, he experiences the loneliness and darkness of the tomb. Why should he fear the lifeforms inside the dark earth, when he himself is a planet? Man experiences the Isthmus (Barzakh) with his every blink, and the Resurrection (Qiyamah) with his every breath. When he is shaken by the Malhamat al-Kubra (Armageddon) of his ego and fights the fires ignited by animalistic lust and greed (Gog and Magog), the Hidden Guide (Mahdi al-Muntadhar) finally emerges. When he confronts the One-Eyed liar and realizes the world is only an illusion (Quantum Physics), the Annointed One (Masih) descends with water dripping from his head, down the white minaret to the east of Damascus, and slays the Imposter (Masih ad-Dajjal). The kingdom is then established in Man, and his world finally illuminated. When he opens his eyes, he beholds his Heaven.”
– Imam ul-Mulk IV Al Sharif Ahmed Ibn Abbas Al Askari
This elite body of Sunni Muslims throughout history who believed the Twelfth Imam Sahib uz–Zaman Imam Muhammad al-Mahdi b. Hasan al-Askari is the Awaited Mahdi included some of the wealthiest and most powerful Muslims throughout history, like the great Ottoman Caliphs, the Mughal Emperors of Hindustan, the Qutb Shahi dynasty (Golconda kingdom) founders of Hyderabad, Deccan, and their successors, the Asaf Jahi dynasty of Hyderabad. It is worth noting H.E.H. Nizam of Hyderabad Mir Osman Ali Khan Siddiqi, Asaf Jah VII was portrayed on the cover of TIME magazine in 1937 as the richest man in the world and named by Forbes as the wealthiest South Asian in history, and ranked fifth on the Forbes ‘All Time Wealthiest’. His Imperial Majesty Caliph Abdülmecid II, styled Commander of the Faithful and Shadow of God on Earth, the last Caliph of the Imperial House of Osman (Ottoman Empire) performed the wedding of his daughter Princess Durri Chehvar to the eldest son of the Nizam of Hyderabad Sahib Zada Nawab Azam Jah in 1931. On 23 August 1944, Abdulmejid II passed while in exile at his house in the Boulevard Suchet, Paris. His passing coincided with the Liberation of Paris from Nazi occupation. He was buried in the Jannat al-Baqi cemetery adjacent to the Holy Prophet’s Mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia by the order of His Majesty King Saud bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

Islam’s Covenant Theology: میثاق
Love and fealty of the ‘King of the World’: Builder of the Taj Mahal during whose reign the finest monuments of Mughal architecture were built – Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan’s drinking bowl. This bowl has Naad i-‘Ali (Imaginary Call to ‘Ali) and the names of the illustrious Twelve Imams of Ahl al-Bayt engraved on it. Here, one can read the following names written together from right to left, “‘Ali (Zayn al-‘Abidin) wal-Baqir Muhammad wal-Sadiq, Ja’far wal-Kadhim Musa, al-Rida ‘Ali wal-Taqi Muhammad, al-Naqi ‘Ali wal-‘Askari (Hasan)”. Picture from, ‘Made For Mughal Emperors: Royal Treasures From Hindustan’ by Susan Stronge, p.187.
“The Lion of God is the Conqueror” – Sultan Fateh Ali Khan Bahadur ‘Tipu Sultan’
From his extensive research of twelve years under GrandShaykh Nazim’s tutelage Al Sharif concluded:
i.) For Arabs and Muslims, there is a direct link and correlation between faith, covenant theology, and spiritual, scientific, technological, intellectual, military and material prosperity. Whoever surrendered himself in Islam (with love الْمَوَدَّةَ فِی الْقُرْبَی al-mawaddata fil qurba) to this covenant throughout Islam’s history attained self-realization and prospered with great opulence, and whoever did not, didn’t.
ii.) All confusion, trauma, pillaging and major bloodshed in Islam’s history were and are simply a consequence of neglecting the covenant, creating a mental and spiritual imbalance where the lower self (nafs ammara) and low thought become dominant attracting thereby the subsequent cyclical emergence and dominance of Gog and Magog at major points in Islam’s history commencing with the sacking of Baghdad in 1258, to the savage Crusades, barbaric Colonialism, to the Balfour Declaration and Sykes-Picot to present.
iii.) This cycle of brutality at the hands of these merciless savage forces of Gog and Magog always naturally ends as the Ummah restores itself on its own to acceptance of Islam’s covenant theology and thereby becomes liberated from low thought and the lower self (nafs ammara). Acceptance of covenant theology always therefore results in a major restoration of Arabic and Muslim hegemony, even if at the hands of non-Arabs. This restoration happens and will continue to happen repeatedly in the form of renovation at the hand of the Renovator of the era (Mujadid) because of the continued presence of the descendants and relatives of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) throughout the various generations, particularly the eleventh dynasty of Ahl al-Bayt, and is organically completed with the emergence of the Awaited Mahdi of the eleventh dynasty.
This theory can be tested, and is accurate and applicable now as it was throughout Islam’s history and constitutes Al Sharif’s greatest and most profound contribution to the Arab and Islamic world under the tutelage of Mawlana GrandShaykh Nazim Adil al-Qubrusi.
Narrated Abdullah b. Abbas, “Allah seized the kingdom of the Israelites on account of their mistreatment of the Prophets, verily the kingdom of this nation will also be seized by Allah on account of their hatred of ‘Ali b. Abi Talib”- Mizan al-Itidal, Dhahabi v.2 p.251
Ottoman Empire Dhulfikar banners woven during the 15th century are often decorated with a two-bladed sword wielded by the Prophet’s son-in-law ‘Ali b. Abi Talib and shield shaped. This particular banner, made in 1683 in North Africa, was made of metallic thread and maroon silk. Its inscription is written in the distinctive maghribi script with uniform thick letters and low sweeping curves.

Love and fealty – The original seal of Hyderabad’s Osmania University with “Nurun alâ Nur” written around the Nizam turra (crown) of H.E.H Mir Osman Ali Khan, the seventh Nizam and the founder of Osmania University. The Nizam’s crown is surrounded by wandering beams of lights. Below it is an Arabic inscription of the Prophet’s words, “I Am the City of Knowledge and ‘Ali is its Gate.” Established in 1918, Osmania University is India’s first university to adopt Urdu as its medium of instruction – with English as a compulsory subject.
Furthermore, Al Sharif’s research led him to discover the identity of the founder of Tariqah Sufism – the venerable Shaykh ‘Abd al-Qadir Al-Jilani (1078-1166). Interestingly enough, Al-Jilani was an Abbasid era Persian speaking Arab Hanbali Hashemite Hasanid. Al-Jilani unified and embodied the highest level of a spiritual cultural synthesis between the Arab-Islamic and Persian civilizations. Furthermore, Al-Jilani inspired North Africa’s Ibn Arabi and Saladin was among his documented followers.
As the founder of Tariqah Sufism, it can be said Al-Jilani’s intellectual contributions preserved unity among Arabs and Ajamite Muslims, and thereby preserved the very legacy of classical Islam itself and supported it’s spreading after the savage Crusades to this very day.
Al Sharif’s view of Al-Jilani being the founder of Tariqah Sufism was also discussed by one of the world’s foremost academic authorities on classical Islam – Dr. Seyyed Hossein Nasr – who credited ‘Sufism as we know it for the past eight centuries‘ to Al-Jilani. (MuslimHeritage)
Al Sharif concluded Al-Jilani’s contribution is akin to the contributions of al-Bukhari and al-Kulayni, and hence must be recognized. Furthermore, the tremendous cultural and philosophical contributions of the Sufi greats who came after him over the past eight centuries like Ibn Arabi, Rumi, Baha al-Din Naqshband, and Moinuddin Chishti should also be credited to him (Al-Jilani), since they represent the legacy of Al-Jilani’s contribution.

As a result of his research for a period spanning over twelve years, Imam ul-Mulk IV Al Sharif Ahmed Ibn Abbas Al Askari advocates Arabism for the Middle East, endorses the theory of Arab monarchism, is a monarchist himself, and a Husaynid Askarid royalist. During the present period of the Occultation of the Twelfth Imam, as a relative of the Hidden Imam, Al Sharif Ahmed Ibn Abbas Al Askari endorses in concept His Majesty King Hussein bin Talal’s modern interpretation of Malik al-Bilad al-‘Arabiyya Amir al-Mumenin Al Munquiz Al A’zam His Majesty Hussein ibn ‘Ali, (former) King of the Hijaz, Grand Sharif and Amir of Mecca’s vision of Arabism and traditional style of government, and also calls for Arab and Islamic unity with a unity of sovereign equals.
This opinion of unity of sovereign equals has also gained popularity in the Arab and Muslim world, and resulted in the formation of Al-Tahaluf Al-Islami Al-Askari in 2015 – the largest Islamic military alliance in history.
United States of America participated with leaders and representatives of 55 Arab and Islamic countries in the unprecedented Arab-Islamic-American Summit 2017 in Riyadh, KSA. The summit was held to reaffirm unity and purpose behind the historic formation of Al-Tahaluf Al-Islami Al-Askari [Islamic Military Alliance] in 2015. At this summit, America signed an arms deal with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for $350-billion with nearly $110-billion to take efffect immediately. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia surpassed Russia in 2015 and is the world’s third largest military spender next to China and the USA.
“…The United States appreciates the voices of concerned citizens and leaders in Canada and around the world who denounce terrorism and extremism and we hope your organization will continue to speak up in defense of liberty and moderation. By uniting as free peoples we believe we can build a more peaceful world…” – Ambassador of the United States of America to Canada, Hon. David Wilkins’ letter addressing Al Sharif Ahmed Ibn Abbas Al Askari
“…It will be in this order…a Muslim army will come, and America will support them, American forces will join them, they will also support them. This is explained in Muhiuddin Ibn Arabi’s book in detail.” – Mawlana GrandShaykh Nazim al-Qubrusi, April 10th, 2011, SaltanatTV

The ceremony and parade was attended by a number of Saudi princes, ministers and officials.
Imam ul-Mulk IV Al Sharif Ahmed Ibn Abbas Al Askari follows the Arab and Muslim world in recognizing His Majesty King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Mamlikat al-Arabia al-Saudia as the Custodian of the Grand Mosques of Mecca and Medinah (Khadim ul-Haramayn Sharifayn), His Majesty King Abdullah II Ibn Hussein of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as the Custodian of Jerusalem and its Christian and Muslim Holy Sites including in specific Haram al-Sharif Masjid Al-Aqsa and As-Sakhra (The Dome of the Rock), and His Majesty Amir al-Mu’minin King Mohammed VI of Morocco as Chairman of Al Quds Committee, an offshoot of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). On 31 March 2013, His Majesty King Abdullah II and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas signed a historical agreement in Amman reaffirming the King’s Custodianship over Holy Sites in Jerusalem, and stating that His Majesty has the right to exert all legal efforts to safeguard them, especially Al Aqsa Mosque, which is defined as “The Entirety of Al Haram Al Sharif.” Imam ul-Mulk IV Al Sharif Ahmed Ibn Abbas Al Askari lends his mental support to these three Arab Muslim kings, the OIC, and the leaders of the Arab and Muslim world who reject terrorism and tyranny and prays for their unity and the welfare of their individual nations daily.
Radicalization
The quilted helmet plundered from Seringapatam by British East India Company soldiers from the body of the King of Mysore Badshah Nasib ad-Dawlah Sayyid wal Shareef Sultan Fateh Ali Khan Tipu Sultan in 1799. The silver nasal guard has the names of the Ahl al-Kisa (Muhammad; Fatima, Ali; al-Hasan, al-Husayn) engraved in gold. Tipu Sultan’s harem was violated and the king’s palace treasure and library plundered by the British after they murdered him in 1799. The Kingdom of Mysore was an ally to the Ottoman Empire, the American Revolutionaries and Napoleon against the British. After his murder at the hands of the British, his belongings were divided up making their new European owners tremendously wealthy. This helmet was auctioned in 2015 along with other personal weaponry of the King of Mysore by Bonhams in London, England for nearly $8 million USD. Sayyid Ahmed Amiruddin’s mother’s paternal ancestoral relative was Tipu Sultan’s Ambassador to the Emperor of France, and the Ottoman Emperor, and upon returning to India after Tipu’s murder hid under the protection of the Nawab of Arcot (Nawab of Carnatic) Amir ul-Hind Umdat ul-Umara Ghulam Husayn Ali Khan (Ghulam Husayni). The Nawab of Arcot married his eldest daughter to him. This side of Imam ul-Mulk IV Al Sharif Ahmed Ibn Abbas Al Askari’s family descends from Mir Sayyid Ghulam Ali, renown as the Indian who recruited Napoleon, funded the French Revolution and ‘ended France’s 1000 year old monarchy for Tipu Sultan’.

Imam ul-Mulk IV Al Sharif Ahmed Ibn Abbas Al Askari is recognized globally for his research and initiative to prevent jihadist radicalization through his innovative approach of employing psychosocial interventions.
According to Laurier University’s ‘Laurier M.A. Journal on Religion and Culture’ (2010), Imam ul-Mulk IV Al Sharif Ahmed Ibn Abbas Al Askari is credited as being the inspiration behind Canadian Pakistani scholar Dr. Tahir ul-Qadri’s historic six-hundred page fatwa against terrorism – published and recognized by the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation), an organization representing 56 Muslim states, and the collective voice of the Muslim world, with permanent delegations to the United Nations and the European Union.
Wilfred Laurier University’s “The Laurier M.A. Journal of Religion and Culture” writes on pg. 31,
“…the establishment of Amiruddin’s Al Sunnah Foundation and the twelve-step program…can be seen as inspiring and reinforcing the flurry of activism that has continued to emerge from within the community since mid-2009…This growing anti-jihadist activism includes Canadian-based sheikh Tahir ul-Qadri independently issuing a 600-page document in London in March 2010, thoroughly refuting any potential theological justifications for Islamic extremism and going so far as to state that terrorists and suicide bombers are destined for damnation.”
Call for Palestinian Sovereignty & Statehood
The Akbar Shah diamond of the early 17th century great Mughal Emperor Akbar the Great and his successors Emperor Jehangir Shah and Emperor Shah Jahan. The diamond gets its name from Emperor Akbar (1556-1605), whose name is inscribed on the diamond in Arabic. The English translation of this inscription reads as follows :- “Shah Akbar, Shah (King) of the World, 1028 A.H. (1619 A.D.)” The stone weighed originally 120 Arabic or 116 English carats.
“Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French.”
– Mahatma Gandhi
Imam ul-Mulk IV Al Sharif Ahmed Ibn Abbas Al Askari agrees with His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan’s view that Palestinian injustice fuels Middle East violence which in turn drives global radicalization. Sayyid rejects anti-Semitism (against both Jews and Arabs) and Holocaust denial. He identifies the illuminated among the Children of Hashim as the guides to peace and advancement for the Arabs (Children of Ishmael) and the (biological) Children of Israel. Al Sharif endorses the Government of Canada’s recognition of the Palestinian right to self-determination and calls for the creation of a sovereign, independent, viable, territorially contiguous Palestinian state, as part of a comprehensive, just and lasting peace settlement, and, like the Hashemite dynasty of Jordan, also recognizes Israel’s right to live in peace with its neighbors.
In harmony with international consensus, Imam ul-Mulk IV Al Sharif Ahmed Ibn Abbas Al Askari recognizes the Palestinian Authority (PA) as the governmental entity in the West Bank and Gaza, and also recognizes the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) as the principal representative of the Palestinian people.
Call for Canadian policy shift on anti-Zionism
Imam ul-Mulk IV distanced himself from the Government of Canada’s indiscriminate support for Israel driven by its endorsement of Christian Zionism under the Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau governments.
On 2 May 2017, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared on the occasion of Israel’s Independence Day in 2017, “Today, while we celebrate Israel’s independence, we also reaffirm our commitment to fight anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism.” Like the Anglican Church of Canada, Imam ul-Mulk IV Al Sharif Ahmed Ibn Abbas Al Askari distances himself from the Government of Canada’s continuous support for outdated, non-pluralistic, radical religiopolitical extremist ideological elements of Zionism like Pre-Adamism as defined by the Father of Zionism Isaac La Peyrère, which according to Imam ul-Mulk IV, drive Israeli violence against Arabs, and Jewish hated of Arabs, and justify Western support for it, which in turn inspires homegrown Islamist radicalization and terrorism in the West.
Al Sharif calls for a reformation of Zionism by extracting Pre-Adamism theology from it, similar to the reformation of Wahhabism in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and calls upon the Government of Canada to abandon its support for such radical religiopolitical extremist ideological views.
Al Sharif believes Ishmaelites, Israelites, Brahmins, most of the Middle East, Egypt, North Africa, North India including parts of Pakistan (i.e., Indus Valley Civilization – Harappan) according to evolution theory (evolutionary creationism) represent a single human race – the Mediterranean’s – who can be united by their diversity. This region is precisely where human civilization is oldest, and is historically the cradle of Monism (Tawhid).
As of December 21st, 2017, 176 nations among the 193 UN members called for Palestinian statehood. The United States, Canada and Israel were among the seven that opposed the text; four states abstained.
Canada
A unidentified Canadian family’s stunning attic discovery — a gem-studded, solid gold tiger’s head that once adorned the powerful king of Mysore Tipu Sultan’s throne in India. It was sold at a high-profile auction in Britain recently for more than $700,000 CDN. The unidentified Canadian family — described by Bonhams as having had “no idea” how much a mysterious collection of 200-year-old heirlooms might be worth — was the highlight of the London-based auction house’s sale of important Islamic and Indian art.
Imam ul-Mulk IV Al Sharif Ahmed Ibn Abbas Al Askari has helped Canadian officials on policy related matters since 2005 concerning Canada’s flourishing Muslim community. He was personally called upon by the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, has addressed conferences along side US Vice President Al Gore, Justin Trudeau, and some of Canada’s leading intellectuals, and was called to testify before the Senate of Canada.
Al Sharif supports the government of Canada’s signing in 2014 of ‘the longest weapons contract in Canadian history’ with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for $15-billion while Stephen Harper was Prime Minister. Furthermore, Imam ul-Mulk IV Al Sharif Ahmed Ibn Abbas Al Askari supports the government of Canada’s agreement during Prime Minister Harper’s era to secure a direct investment of $36 billion USD to develop shale gas assets in Canada and build a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal for export to Asia by the Malaysian state-owned enterprise Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas). This accounts for the largest ever direct foreign investment in energy in Canada’s history.
