|
 Shah Maghsoud Sadegh Angha or Professor Angha, was the forty-first Sufi master of the Oveyssi School; Maktab Tarighat Oveyssi Shahmaghsoudi. The Oveyssi School traces its line back through an unbroken lineage of successive Sufi masters, dating back to the Islamic prophet Mohammad (570 – 632) and Imam Ali (599 – 661), whom represented the essence of the School of Islamic Sufism. An interesting note is that Shia Muslims glorified Ali as the Imam, the successor of Mohammad. However, Sunnis viewed Ali as the final Rashidun; this disagreement was to split the Muslim community in two, resulting in the formation of the Sunni and Shi’a branches. Shah Maghsoud Sadegh Angha's lasting legacy was to contemporize many Sufi texts making them available to an international audience. He left behind a wealth of writing, producing over 150 books, essays, and poems. Nader Angha or Molana Salaheddin Ali Nader Shah Angha, Professor Angha’s son, is the present master of the Oveyssi order. |
