Martin Lings provides an excellent and authoritative introduction
to the mystical movement of the Sufis based on his lifelong
interest in Islamic culture. His explanation derives from a
profound understanding of Sufism, and extends to many aspects which
are usually neglected. His illuminating answer to 'What is Sufism?'
gives a taste of the very subject matter itself. What do Sufis
believe? What do they aim at? What do they do? Unlike other writers
on the subject, Martin Lings treats all the three questions with
equal justice. He is thus able to give a wealth of answers to the
main question 'What is Sufism?', each answer being from a different
angle but all going to the root of the matter. A reviewer wrote
'Should the book appear in paperback, I would use it for
undergraduate and graduate courses on Islamic civilization', and in
fact 'What is Sufism?' has become a set book in colleges and
universities on both sides of the Atlantic. It is now accepted as
the authoritative statement on the subject of Sufism and it has
been translated into French, German, Italian and Spanish. It has
also been published in Sarajevo in Bosnian, and is available in
Braille.
