the struggle of Imam Hussein. IM Production is currently making an appeal to create a film on the life of Shaikh Uthman Ibn Fodio to better represent him as a religious scholar and revolutionary.

Shuhada Foundation The Shuhada Foundation is a non governmental registered organization that organizes public lectures, seminars, and an annual Yaumu Shuhada celebration to commemorate the martyrdom of Shuhada the 116 other martyrs of the Islamic Movement. The creation of the foundation followed brutal attacks by the Military Dictatorship of Nigeria that resulted in the death of members and left one hundred and twenty eight children as orphans. The branch also provides both material and spiritual assistance to the orphans and most of their funding comes from donations.
