5.0 out of 5 stars Good Translation but there is a better one, March 29, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Revelation of the Mystery (Paperback)
This book is more popularly known as "Kashful Mahjub", and sometimes has been titled in English as Unveiling of the veil (the literal translation of the title).

It is an excellent book on Sufism, and can be in fact said to be a Textbook for the spiritual wayfarer, or Sufi traveller.

It cuts across all boundaries and applies to all levels and orders of Sufism. Non-Sufis can also benefit from this book, as there are many gems of wisdom and spiritual insights to be gained.

This is one of many recent translations of the book, but if you can get the version translated by Wahid Bakhsh Rabbani, it is the best version I have read, since it comes with a commentary and explanation of the difficult passages of the book, and has been translated by a contemporary Sufi -- and is in my mind the easiest and most beautiful version in English.
