Shaykh Abdalqadir as-Sufi al-Murabit is the leader of the Murabitun Sufi order. The order began as the Habibiyya-Darqawiyya founded in the UK in the 60s and was renamed the Murabitun in the 80s. Shaykh Abdalqadir as-Sufi is a Scottish Muslim convert formerly known as Ian Dallas, and was a playwright, dramatist, actor and fringe figure of 1960's counter-culture. The Murabitun have spread from Britain, to other parts of Europe, Africa, the United States, Southeast and Central Asia, and Australia.

Shaykh Abdalqadir has been calling people to Allah for more than 30 years now. He has students and murids all over the world in Muslim and non-Muslim lands. He is a Shaykh of the Shadhili - Darqawi Tariqah. His Idhn (authorization) comes from two Shaykhs. Shaykh Muhammad ibn al-Habib of Morocco, who was his first Shaykh and who made him his Muqaddim (representative) in the West, and Shaykh Muhammad al-Fayturi Hamudah who "by his authority joined together the two separate branches of the Habibiyya and the'Alawiyya, so that they have become again by Allah's overflowing generosity, the Darqawiyya."

Some of the books he has written over the past 30 years:

  • The Way of Muhammad
  • 'Indications From Signs
  • The Hundred Steps
  • Qur'anic Tawhid
  • Letter to An African Muslim
  • Kufr - An Islamic Critique
