The situation around always arouse his curiosity into knowing more about God. He always wondered why the country with so many Mosques and Churches should continue to squalor in the midst of abundance nature is providing us. Under this state, he lost faith in religion, and then stuck to the fact that there must be a Supreme Being controlling the whole affairs of life and death. He also believed in the law of retribution and that under closely watchful moral doctrine, one could find the favour in God. Standing on this without religion’s inclination made his friend referred to him as a godist then in the university. He believes religion’s rhetorics is no more relevant except at application level to promote moral National cohesion, global peace, through admonition, principles of tolerance, religion cooperation and free spiritual healing and for the promotion of socio – economic upliftment through good governance.

In 1983, God manifested in him. Thus, Shafaudeen came into existence with five members for a start.
