5.0 out of 5 stars Delivered to Reality, February 7, 2002

This review is from: Deliverance: Words from the Prophet (Paperback)

As a student of Sufi philosophy, I have long since been awed by the magnificence of works produced by Seyedeh Dr. Nahid Angha, an eminent Sufi Master who has made significant contributions in Eastern philosophy through Western literature. Once again, the words of the Prophet Mohammad, as translated by Dr. Angha, enrich my spirit. Converting these intricate Arabic advices into poetic English truths is truly difficult. Yet, once again, Dr. Angha has shown that the light of Divine Reality shines through, beyond language barriers, touching the essence of our being. She is most worthy of introducing the Prophet's words to the West.

This review is from: Deliverance: Words from the Prophet (Paperback)

This collection of the sayings of the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) is very accessible and a wonderful guide for deepening self-knowledge. This book has opened my eyes to the teachings of the Prophet and how practical and useful these teachings are today. The entire book, including cover, preface, introduction, and the translations themselves are beautiful and inspiring.
