Sufism is the heart of Islam. Its key is an inner light and
awakening, an outer courtesy and service to humanity. It relates to
it much as the mystical tradition does to Christianity, but far
more prominently. With authors like Rumi achieving all-time
popularity, it is increasingly acknowledged as a spiritual answer
to modern materialism. This introductory guide describes its
origins and background, the relationship with Islam and its spread
throughout the world. It covers what is means to be a Sufi and the
relevance of Sufism in modern life. Biographies of prominent Sufis
and a selection of writings complete this guide to a profound
tradition.
Islam is the fastest growing religion in North America and the
world, with well over a billion followers. Since the Islamic
revolution in Iran and the dismantling of communism, the world has
seemed to be heading inexorably towards greater confrontation
between Muslim and non-Muslim cultures. At a time when communities
increasingly tend to view each other with suspicion, this book cuts
through the morass of understanding and misinformation to give a
timely overview of the universality and light of the prophetic
message and the traditions that have grown up around it; the life
of Islam today, its potential for bringing unity; and speculates on
its future. The introduction also features selections from key
Islamic writings.
This unique guide to psychology presents Western readers with an
islamic concept of personality--the source from which the Enneagram
and other Sufi theories of personality were derived.
