Muzaffer Ozak & Lex Hixon Archive Foundation (MOLHAF)
A not-for-profit corporation whose purpose is to obtain and provide funding to collect, maintain and preserve the books, papers, and other materials of Muzaffer Ozak and Lex Hixon, two prominent members of the Sufi community. In addition to preserving such materials, the corporation shall endeavor to provide public forums where interested members of general public can view the materials. The initial goal of the foundation is to build an archive of the material by digitizing them from their analog storage formats (audio and video cassettes, photographs and slides, books and newspaper clippings), in order to preserve them for posterity. The archive will then be used to produce materials in a variety of media formats and spaces, such as films, books, cds and the web. Eventually, the foundation plans to disseminate the material to the general public.
“Muzaffer Effendi was the powerful ray of the brilliant sun of Muhammad shining into America, helping to transform modern humanity into sacred humanity, and like the sun which makes all grow, he revived all of the spiritual traditions in the West, subtly, invisibly Shaykh Muzaffer lived and embodied the full meaning of La ilahe ilallah Muhammadun Rasulallah.”

“Lex Hixon was an interfaith world all unto himself: a rare being who not only felt at home in various religious traditions, but celebrated each with boldness and passion.”
