The Shaykh Amad al-'Alawi (d. 1934) was one of the most famous Sufi
saints of the last century with many followers both in the Middle
East and in Europe. Dr Martin Ling's bestselling biography of the
Shaykh, A Sufi Saint of the Twentieth Century, brought him to the
attention of the English-reading public. The Qur'an and the Prophet
in the Writings of the Shaykh Ahmad al-'Alawi presents for the
first time in English all the collected works of the Shaykh on the
two guiding principles of Islam. The Shaykh al-'Alawi had embarked
on a full commentary on the Qur'an but only completed an
introduction explaining his approach to Qur'anic exegesis and
commentaries on three chapters. All these pieces are included here
with an additional appendix of answers to questions that the
Shaykh's disciples had put to him on the Qur'an. The Qur'anic
commentaries are followed by a treatise on the meaning of the
invocation of blessings on the Prophet. This extremely profound
treatise delves into the spiritual nature of the Prophet explaining
how he represents both the summit of spiritual attainment and the
example for all those seeking enlightenment. Also included in the
appendix are answers that the Shaykh gave his disciples on sayings
of the Prophet. The Qur'an and the Prophet in the Writings of the
Shaykh Ahmad al-'Alawi is a treasury of Sufi commentary by an
author whose stunning interpretations and penetrating insights are
rare, even among the most renowned of Sufi authors. Moreover, there
is very little in English on Quranic exegesis, especially Sufi
exegesis, and readers with an interest in Sufism, Islamic studies
and spirituality in general will find much here that is unique.
