About Imam Said Bin Yunus
Said Bin Yunus has been studying Sufism and other Islamic sciences with traditional scholars under the guidance and supervision of Sidi Shaykh Muhammad al-Jamal (radiyallahu anhu) since 1997. In 2003, Sidi Muhammad (r.a.) appointed him to the position of Imam at the Shadhiliyya Sufi Center in Northern California, and groomed him to lead retreats in the SSC zawiyya (2004) and teach at the University of Spiritual Healing & Sufism (2011-2018). Said continues in an unofficial capacity as Imam of the original community in Northern California, offering classes online to help students understand Sidi Muhammad’s (radiyallahu anhu) teachings in the context of a traditional Islamic lens, and working to revitalize Sidi’s vision of an intentional community based on Sufi spirituality and sustainable farming.
