Written for the general reader who has no prior knowledge of the subject, the book explains the twelve principles of Sufism, namely tark (abandonment), tubeh (repentance), tugha (virtue and abstinence), sabr (patience), sedgh (truthfulness), safa (purity), vud (love), verd (remembrance), vafa'a (loyalty), fard (isolation), faghr (poverty)and fana (annihilation), in a non-technical, easy to understand style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Start here!, January 15, 2002
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Exploration of Sufism, November 13, 2001
By Sufi Scholar (Cairo, Egypt) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it and decide for yourself.., December 20, 2001
By Blake Ross (Oakland, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!
