"The Fragrant Scent: On the Knowledge of Motivating Thoughts and
Other Such Gems" is the first English translation of "al-Arf
al-atir fi ma`rifat al-khawatir wa-ghayriha min al-jawahir" by the
great eighteenth-century scholar and Sufi master Abd al-Rahman
al-Aydarus. "The Fragrant Scent" is a meditation on the fleeting
thoughts that pass through the mind of the spiritual wayfarer, and
the author offers teachings on how to manage one's thoughts and
turn them to spiritual gain. This concise, yet wide-ranging
treatise covers topics such as the different types of passing
thoughts and their causes, knowledge of the soul and finding the
perfect spiritual guide, as well as the necessity of retreat and
practicing one's knowledge.---Shaykh al-Aydarus was a spiritual
master within the Ba Alawi tariqa, a famous Sufi order from
Hadhramaut in southern Yemen known for its piety and careful
observance of the Sharia. "The Fragrant Scent" reflects the Ba
Alawi order's emphasis on maintaining a balance between the inner
and outer worlds, but it is also an accessible entry point to
understanding the profound spiritual insights and everyday practice
of Sufism.
