The Founding Story

The Vision That Started It All

Discover the inspiring journey of Shams-Ud-Deen Al-Islamiy, from its humble beginnings to becoming a global movement.

In 1982, a transformative journey began in Ado-Odo, Ogun State, Nigeria — one that would spark a movement that resonates worldwide.

Shams-Ud-Deen Al-Islamiy (SUDAI) was founded by the visionary leader, Late Alhaji Sheikh (Dr). Abd. Hameed Aweda Olohungbemi (R.T.A), known as Ayeogbaro, driven by the desire to reform and uplift the Muslim Ummah through Islamic principles, social justice, and education.

A Vision Born from Faith

The story of SUDAI began with a clear mission — to redirect the Muslim community toward the authentic path outlined in the Holy Qur'an and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

The Humble Beginnings

On November 5, 1982, SUDAI was officially established in Ado-Odo by four committed individuals who shared Sheikh Aweda's vision for a better future for the Muslim Ummah.
