Synopsis by Forrest Spencer

This video looks at the extraordinary life of Habib, who is a Tabib, or a Muslim healer. Habib belongs to the Sufi, "Chain of Mystic Transmission," which is a lineage of teachers whose main representative is the great master Bahaudin Nacksband. Uzbekistan is a Muslim nation, a former state of the Soviet Union along the old Silk Road, where spiritual tradition derives from the teachings of all the great religions and this thirty-minute video examines the work of Habiba, her daily teachings in helping people, assisting them to acquire knowledge, which is the duty of each Muslim. This tape is geared towards anyone studying this ancient religion, or curious about the lives of other people far beyond their street.
