'A'ishah al-Ba'uniyyah (d. 923/1517) of Damascus was one of the
great women scholars in Islamic history. A mystic and prolific poet
and writer, 'A'ishah composed more works in Arabic than any other
woman before the twentieth century. Yet despite her extraordinary
literary and religious achievements, 'A'ishah al-Ba'uniyyah remains
largely unknown. For the first time her key work, The Principles of
Sufism, is available in English translation. The Principles of
Sufism is a mystical guide book to help others on their spiritual
path. She recounts the fundamental stages and states of the
spiritual novice's transformative journey, emphasizing the
importance of embracing both human limitations and God's limitless
love. Drawing on lessons and readings from centuries-old Sufi
tradition, 'A'ishah advises the seeker to repent of selfishness and
turn to a sincere life of love. In addition to his lucid
translation, Th. Emil Homerin provides an insightful introduction,
notes and a glossary to 'A'ishah al-Ba'uniyyah's remarkable account
of the pursuit of mystical illumination. A bilingual Arabic-English
edition.
