This review is from: Principles of Sufism (Paperback)
This extraordinary book is accessible to the novice, yet offers very practical knowledge to the experienced traveller. Rather than just being another book about Sufism, this book invites one to walk on the path. It is highly concentrated, crystal clear, and very, very REAL!! Rare in its purity.

Wonderful Exploration of Sufism,
By Sufi Scholar (Cairo, Egypt) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Principles of Sufism (Paperback)
As a student of Sufism for over twenty years, I am amazed at the ability of the author to convey the foundational principles of Sufism eloquently -- for both the novice and the experienced Sufi practitioner. It was insightful and filled with resources and inspiration. I have read the book several times now, and continuously find gems of revelation.A must have for people interested in or studying Sufism.

This review is from: Principles of Sufism (Paperback)
This author specializes in clear, succinct explanations of abstract Sufi principles. Following in the foot steps of her renown father, the enormously influential Moulana Shah Maghsoud, she clarifies delicate Eastern mystical concepts, often utilizing Western scientific principles as reference points. If you prefer clear and concise writing to muddled and murky, you'll appreciate the tone of this book. And if you have a deep interest in Sufism, this is that rare thing: reliable information from a dutiful Sufi scholar and researcher.Highly recommended!
