HD Video Zikr – Prayer Vigil for the Earth 2007

October 23, 2007  |  Video  |  17 Comments

The first HD video of Zikr, and possibly the first Islamic HD video available online.

In this video Clyde Bellecourt, 71 and a famous Native American activist, joins the prayer circle and participates with his own traditions. His Ojibwe name is Nee-gon-we-way-we-dun which means “Thunder Before the Storm.” He is moved to tears after being presented with a Turban and Jubbah.

The first thing Sheykh Effendi wanted to do upon arriving to the Prayer Vigil was to greet Clyde Bellecourt, a Native American activist who is 71 years old. His Ojibwe name is Nee-gon-we-way-we-dun which means “Thunder Before the Storm.
