"The Dome of Provisions" refers to a sacred place under God's Throne that is only accessible by His chosen ones. It is the main source of heavenly secrets and blessings sent to the hearts of people. This collection of spiritual discourses is based on ancient teachings of famous Sufi masters of the Naqshbandi Golden Chain, to whom the author is directly connected. Lessons outline the mind-body-spirit connection and inspire readers to "Maqam al-Ihsan," the Station of Moral Excellence, in which one surrenders the ego and personal desires to Divine Will. Memorable accounts of previous masters and their disciples, the struggles they faced and the lofty heights they reached rounds out this work. Basic knowledge of Sufi principles is recommended.

"Salawat of Tremendous Blessings" is a compilation of daily and weekly supplications and invocations devoted to Prophet Muhammad that contain specific, immense benefits for supplicants. Taken from authentic Arabic sources, prayers featured in this work have been recited for centuries by Muslims around the world. This book provides easy-to-pronounce English transliteration of Arabic text, along with English explanations of their benefits as mentioned by renowned Islamic scholars and mystics. Includes supplications (salawat, darood) recited for specific purposes, such as to heal from ailments and afflictions, to lessen burdens, or to see Prophet Muhammad in a dream.

In a narration of Imam Ahmad, Abu Dharr asked Prophet Muhammad, "O Messenger of Allah, how many are the prophets?" He replied, "120,000 and between their number are 315 messengers." The Holy Quran mentions twenty-five of these messengers, namely: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Zacharia, John (the Baptist), Idris (Enoch), Jonah, Hud, Shuayb, Salih, Lot, Ilyas, Ilyasa, Dhu 'l-Kifl, Jesus and Sayyidina Muhammad, peace be upon them all. These are the messengers of God who came with holy books containing the Divine Message. The others are prophets who received divine revelation but who were not ordered to deliver it to anyone; it was for them. By way of example, all of Jacob's sons were prophets, but Joseph was the only messenger from among them. Laboriously compiled from rare manuscripts, traditional Islamic texts, and other printed source material, including ahadith and athar and the many traditional books of history, and painstakingly translated from Ottoman Turkish to English, Lore of Light depicts the perfected, blessed character and refined manners that God bestowed on His blessed prophets and messengers. This illustrious work examines the lives of the prophets and messengers of God in great detail, heretofore unknown in English literature on their lives. It depicts the great lengths to which these holy figures went - at times losing life, suffering humiliation, torment and abuse from those who opposed them, often leaving their homes, always tolerant of their attackers and seeking peace - to guide the many peoples and nations of the world towards the light which God has sent throughout time for humankind's betterment and upliftment.

Angels take any form they wish in the physical world. As crystal water takes the form of the cup in which it is poured, angels can take the form of any creation which they visit. They do not retain their full original form of light when they are sent to human beings: "Say: If there were in the earth angels walking secure, We had sent down for them from heaven an angel without change] as messenger" (17:95). Angels can come as birds, as human beings, or as a form of light like a rainbow adorning the sky. They have a mind and a heart, but no will and no desire other than to serve and obey God. They are never too proud to obey Him. Angels worship day and night without fatigue. They do not need to sleep, as their eyes never tire. They know no heedlessness. Their attention never wavers. Their food is glorification of God, their drink is to sanctify and to magnify Him. Their intimacy is in calling their Lord through hymning and singing His praise. Their enjoyment is to serve Him. They are devoid of any and all physiological restraints. They suffer no mood-changes. Angels inhabit Paradise and the seven heavens. They worship more than human beings because they came before them and they have greater and more powerful faculties than they. They are more pious than human beings because they are innocent and unable to fall into mistakes or wrongdoings. They never ask forgiveness for themselves but always for human beings. This shows us how much they care for us and to what extent God created them to look after us. God made them our guardians because a guardian is more perfect than the one he guards. Angels are more knowledgeable than human beings. The teacher, again, is better than the student. Their knowledge is of two kinds: intellectual and traditional. "Intellectual" means here: "of the essence of reality" or "of the heart." "Traditional" means: "revealed and translated down from above."

A wise person once said, "Our bodies come new, but our spirits are ancient. When packaged together, this strange combination can work miracles." With today's global issues of violence, lack of racial and religious tolerance and the void of spiritual leadership, people are losing hope and falling away from the old establishments of faith, as they are constantly failing to offer solutions and peace of mind. That is one of the many reasons why people today are adapting the "new age" school of thought-seeking alternative means to find a light to guide them amidst the present spiritual darkness and material exuberance. But we are living in this moment, that of a new century and new generations. Every generation is identified by its great thinkers, its great philosophers, its great leaders; those who enlighten that generation by their great service towards mankind, not only for their time, but for all to follow. Those great personalities that transcend space and time become legends. They are heroes of the new age and we are living in the age of such new heroes. Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani is such a personality. He is a new type of teacher who teaches without teaching; a new age guru who melts hearts without holding a single session of Sufi gathering; a new age shaykh who inspires and illuminates the seeking heart without moving his lips.
