This book unlocks the secrets of the seven degrees through which
the soul progresses as it travels the Sufi Path to its Lord. It
teaches the novice how to transform the Inciting Soul the lowest
and most egotistic of the self's manifestations, into the
Reproachful Soul, which must then become Inspired, Serene,
Contented, and Found Pleasing until it attains the ultimate degree
of sanctity and wholeness as the Perfect Soul. To achieve this
progressive purification of the self, special Sufi practices,
litanies and attitudes of mind are recommended. Both practical and
profound, this book offers a concise manual of Sufi teaching on the
Way to spiritual liberation.

This volume answers many of the questions often asked by seekers of
inward illumination. It also includes the author's commentary on a
poem concerning inner wayfaring which speaks of the most exalted

of the Way. These points are illustrated with references to the
famous mystical poems of Ibn al-Farid and Abu Madyan.
Profound illnesses call for profound remedies, and when nothing
less than radical change will do, courage is essential to survival.
Authentic traditional Islam provides a holistic and historically
proven alternative. In this timely book, Dr. Mostafa al-Badawi
shows that the revealed knowledge is the source of traditional
wisdom, and that the Islamic faith and civilization has a
verifiable track record of healing individual and social
disintegration. The author presents a penetrating diagnosis of the
illness of humanity today, together with a fascinating overview of
the Islamic metaphysic, unearthing its spiritual and moral values
and its timeless relevance and applicability. Man And The Universe
is a compelling and urgently needed piece of writing about what we
human beings are, where we stand, and what we can do about it.
