“When I was in Lefke in Cyprus during June 2002, Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani asked me to edit some of his talks that he had given in Damascus and Lefke and to include any appropriate verses from the Qur’an and Prophetic Traditions where necessary … I was taken aback by the honour and confidence he had shown in me” – Shaykh Yusuf da Costa from the publication  “Spiritual Discourses”
