Meet Khal Al Karkari
Khal Al-Karkari is a consultant physician based in Canada, specializing in Internal Medicine, Intensive Care, and Cardiology. He holds recognition from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, along with a Master’s degree in Health Administration from the University of Regina. He has held academic positions at McMaster University and the Northern Ontario School of Medicine, contributing to medical education and clinical leadership.
Beyond his professional achievements, Dr. Al-Karkari’s path has been one of deep spiritual exploration. Since adolescence, inspired by readings of Imam Al-Ghazali and Ibn Arabi, he has pursued the meaning of truth and divine love. This search led him to the Tariqa Karkariya, a Sufi order rooted in illumination (Nur) and experiential realization of the Divine.
In 2018, his meeting with Sheikh Muhammad Faouzi Al-Karkari in Morocco marked a turning point — transforming his understanding of spirituality from abstract philosophy into a living, perceptible experience of divine light. Through this encounter, mysticism became reality — seen, felt, and lived.
Dr. Al-Karkari’s writings, including The Name and I Loved, reflect the harmony between intellect and illumination, science and spirit. His works explore themes of creation, divine love, and the awakening of the inner senses, offering readers a bridge between reason and revelation.
“I wrote these books for posterity — to leave behind a message of unity, love, and remembrance.Allah desires to be known, and all creation is but a reflection of that Divine love.”
