This book is one of the oldest and most important sources written
on the esoteric teachings of Islam from a Shi'ite perspective. It
demonstrates the Qur'anic origins of Sufism and its close
relationship with Shi'ism. The book is based mainly on the
teachings of the Qur'an, Hadith narrations of Shi'ite Imams, and
the teachings of earlier Sufi masters. In this lies the uniqueness,
authenticity, and strength of the book. Tuhfah yi-' Abbasi is
written in a typical prose style of the Safavid period and is
replete with Arabic words and phrases. The difficulty and dryness
of the style, however, is properly compensated by timely quotation
of Prophetic traditions, narrations of the Shi'ite Imams, and Sufi
poetry composed by 'Attar, Rumi, Hafiz, Mansur Hallaj, as well as
the author. This work conveys a universal message for all human
beings, particularly at a time when Sufism and Shi'ism are
misrepresented by pseudo-Sufis and extremist Shi'ite, and
misunderstood by many readers in the Muslim world and in the West.
