101 Diamonds from the Oral Tradition of the Glorious Messenger Muhammad [Paperback]

Ibn Arabi (Author), Fariha Al Jerrahi (Translator), Lex Hixon (Translator)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 2002

This book is a treasury of the wisdom of Sufism, which is the path of transmutation and self-realization, opened by the Prophet Muhammad, may Divine peace be upon him, over 1400 years ago. Through merging into Love, the Sufi disappears from self and reappears as Divine Love alone.

These 101 diamonds of wisdom (hadith), collected by the great mystic and knower Ibn al 'Arabi in the 13th century, are direct inspirations into the heart of the Prophet from the Source of Love and Wisdom. They take the reader on a spiritual journey to ever-deepening levels of intimate knowing, which culminate in the radiance of Paradise, surrounded by companions of Love.

This modern version of Ibn al 'Arabi's collection of oral traditions is a contemplative expansion by a contemporary Sufi teacher, Lex Hixon (Nur al-Jerrahi) and his disciple, Fariha al-Jerrahi. In fresh, poetic language, and with their own mystical passion, they bring these sacred diamonds of the Islamic tradition to the modern seeker on the spiritual path to enlightenment.

Collection of Hadit Kudsi by Ibn Al'Arabi . There are a lot of lessons as Hadith #48 where Allah the Glorious says "be satisfied with what I have given you" Most of the hadiths are about God's generosity for the believers and those who pray and ask for forgiveness.

This review is from: 101 Diamonds from the Oral Tradition of the Glorious Messenger Muhammad (Paperback)

An inspiring collection of hadith for the open minded spiritual. I'm myself an adherent to no religion in particular, including Islam, but this is a wonderful religious book that transcends boundaries and should resonate with any one who believes in a "higher power". Testament to the power of spiritual writing when it is unencumbered by politics, hate and ignorance. One of my 3 top religious/spiritual texts. More so than the Bible or Quran, etc. this book is useful, poetic and all around effectively majestic. Buy it for any one searching for hope, meaning, beauty, etc. Highly recommended.
