Originally published 1867. This volume describes not only the basic
tenets of the Sufis but also the Ahl i wahdat which was a branch of
Sufism. The author's use of a Persian manuscript treatise by 'Aziz
bin Mohammed Nafasi' is an indispensable tool, particularly because
the author did not merely translate it but gave a clearer and more
succinct account of the system. The volume contains an Appendix
containing a glossary of allegorical and technical terms in use
among Sufiistic writers.
This is a subset of the Sacred Books of the East Series which

translated by leading authorities in their field.
The Koran, literally meaning 'The Recitation' it is the central
religious text for Muslims. Muslims believe the Koran was verbally
revealed by God to the Prophet Muhammad in Arabic through the angel
Gabriel over a period of approximately 23 years Muslims regard
koranic revelations as the sacred word of God, intended to correct
any errors in previous holy books such as the Old and New
Testaments. The Koran is accepted as the foundation of Islamic law,
religion, culture and politics. Some Koranic fragments have been
dated as far back as the eighth, and possibly even the seventh,
century. The oldest existing copy of the full text is from the
ninth century. Although early variants of the Koran are known to
have existed, Muslims believe that the text we have today was
established shortly after the death of the Prophet by the Caliph
Uthman. This superb translation by E.H.Palmer brings an appealing
clarity to this ancient and revered text.
