Fons Vitae,US The Properties of Retreat Volume 16: Book 16 of
Book SynopsisAl-Ghazali's Kitab adab al-'uzla (The Properties of Retreat) is the sixth book in the Rub' al-'adat (Quarter of Customary Practices) in his monumental work known as Ihya' 'ulum al-din (Revival of the Religious Sciences). Focusing on the issue of seclusion, or retreat from society, the main discussion in this book is the question of whether it is better to engage in social intercourse (al-mukhalata) or remove oneself from society to focus on perfecting one's relation to God. As he addresses this issue, al-Ghazali takes us through the numerous benefits and dangers of seclusion while laying out the rules to guide the one who chooses this option. He explains that although it depends on many factors, the most important is the person's intention and purpose for going into seclusion. If it is not done for the sole purpose of drawing near to God, seclusion becomes a harmful path of self-deceit. Although Kitab adab al-'uzla is premised on approaching the issue of spiritual fulfillment in the Islamic context, al-Ghazali presents to us his deep insight into the human condition that relates to Muslims and non- Muslims alike.Table of Contents The Proprieties of Retreat Book 16 Detailed Table of Contents Editor's Note Biography of Imam al-Ghazali About the Revival of the Religious Sciences Translator's Introduction Acknowledgments The Proprieties of Retreatal-Ghazali's Introduction Chapter 1: On the Transmission of the Opinions and Statements and the Evidence Given by the Two Groups on the Matter [of Retreat] Mentioning the Evidence of Those Inclined Toward Socializing and the Weakness [of the Evidence] Mention of the Evidence of Those Inclined to Prefer Retreat Chapter 2: On the Benefits and the Corrupt Aspects of Retreat and Unveiling the Truth About Its Virtue Six Benefits of Retreat 1 Completely Focus on Worship and Contemplation 2 Retreat Frees one From the Disobedient [Acts] 3 Freedom from Tribulations and Controversies 4 Freedom from the Evil of People 5 It cuts off people's desire for you and your desire for people 6 Freedom from Witnessing Disagreeable [People] Chapter 3: On the Harms of Retreat Seven Benefits of Socializing 1 Teaching and Learning 2 Giving and Receiving Benefits 3 Teaching and Learning [Good] Manners 4 Familiarity and Intimacy 5 Attaining Reward for Oneself and for Others 16 Humility [Gaining] experience Bibliography Indexes Index of Qur?anic Verses Index of ?adithIndex of Supplications and Invocations Index of People and Places Subject Index About the Translator

Fons Vitae,US Stories From the Thirty Birds: From I to Him
Book SynopsisIn Attar's renowned 12th century Sufi classic, The Conference of the Birds, the many types of human beings and their various spiritual aptitudes are represented by a multitude of birds. This vast company sets off to encounter the Great Simurgh—a majestic Bird Who represents the Lord of the Worlds—the Divine Source of Being. But of all those who embark on this journey, only 30 stay the formidable course and are able to overcome the enormous challenges and attendant trials. Only thirty birds made it to the august Threshold. Kerim Guc, whose grandmothers stories helped form his spiritual life, most imaginatively and effectively shares tales told by these 30 birds, each of which help to open the Magnificent Gate bit by bit. The stories, selected from various cultures and epochs, help to clarify 30 "realizations" needed by any seeker in his or her final Return to the One. These Wisdom Teachings underscore the Universality and Timelessness of what is encountered in the spiritual life. Kerim Guc's stories are unforgettable and immediately affect the awareness and inner practice of the reader—young or old.Table of Contents Contents Preface.....9 Special Thanks.....13 The Journey From "I" To "Him"...17 My Grandmother's Stories.....19 The Guide.........21 The Journey....25 The Story of How the Door Was Finally Opened.......29 1- The Hoopoe's Story-Goodness..31 2- The Flamingo's Story - Harmony..34 3- The Swan's Story - Flow..39 4- The Seagull's Story - Point Of View..47 5- The Robin's Story - Oneness....53 6- The Dove's Story - Loyalty..587- The Eagle's Story - Justice..63 8- The Pheasant's Story - The Order Of Unity..68 9- The Hawk's Story - Independence From The World..73 10- The Partridge's Story - Sacrifice..76 11- The Hummingbird's Story - Friendship..80 12-The Stork's Story - Temporariness..83 13-The Owl Story - Wisdom..87 14-The Pigeon Story - Service..91 15- The Falcon's Story - Freedom..95 16- The Peacock's Story - Relativity..101 17- The Eagle Owl, Puhu's Story - Perception..107 18- The Pelican's Story-Overcoming Arrogance..114 19- The Raven's Story - Being At The Center..118 20- The Finch's Story - Compassion..123 21- The Canary's Story - Humility..128 22- The Huma Bird's Story Wealth.* * *..132 23- The Swallow's Story Struggle.* * *..137 24-The Kite's Story - Surrender..141 25-The Crane's Story - Unity..147 26- The Falcon's Story - Merit..151 27-The Albatross's Story - Suspicion..155 28-The Crow's Story - Vigilance..160 29-The Nightingale's Story - Forgiveness..167 30-The Parrot Tuti's Story - Sincerity..171 Final Curtain...175 Afterword: The Story Of How These Stories Came To Be Published in Kentucky!.... 179

Hohm Press,U.S. Winds of Grace: Poetry, Stories & Teachings of
Book SynopsisDrawing from the most authentic texts available in the original Persian/Farsi language, Vraje Abramian offers this extensive collection of stories, teachings and poetry from major saints, mystics and sages in the history and evolution of Sufism. Sufi Masters throughout the ages have always reminded seekers that the final answers lie in Silence, where the ego-mind is absent. Still, they have also been great poets and storytellers, whose words were capable of life-altering effects. This is a fresh and extensive collection that will both instruct and encourage individuals on the path of love and transformation. Readers and seekers today need such roadmaps of sanity and wisdom, pointing the way through lifes detours. Reading the works of saints and sages serves as a GPS for todays wayfarer. Includes selections from todays most well-recognised and highly acknowledged masters, like Rumi, Hafiz and Jesus. More uniquely, however, it introduces us to teachings and anecdotes of the obscure hermit, the mad but unknown dervish, the crazy naked ascetic. Many of these voices offered a shock to his or her contemporaries, jarring them from the complacency which makes automatons of humans. Others, contained a paradoxical twist on the religious life or practice of their times, but soaked with an age-old wisdom that is still vital to practitioners today. Read between the lines here! The translator instructs us. Abramian advises readers that the language adopted by Sufi teachers was designed to break the habits that normally deaden our sensitivities. He has therefore selected pieces that remind us to wake up, to take stock, to continue carefully observing. And, by careful sequencing of topics, the book gently guides readers toward the essence-truths or core-teachings of these wise ones. Translator and editor Vraje Abramian is uniquely qualified to make this offering to religious studies today. As an Iranian by birth, a lifelong practitioner of spiritual disciplines, and an accomplished teacher of English, his collection and translations are characterised by academic authority, poetic word-craft and spiritual insight.

Hohm Press,U.S. Sweet Lunacy: Divine Intoxication in Sufi
Book SynopsisDivine Intoxication is a common theme in Middle Eastern poetry. The wine on which the seeker becomes drunk is nothing less than the nectar of love. Such inebriation, however, often produces unconventional behaviour, even hints of madness, marking the lover as one apparently lost to the ordinary world. In this mood, Kahlil Gibran wrote: Only an idiot and a genius break man-made laws and they are the nearest to the heart of God. And so, the poetry written by or about these drunkards is often saturated with perennial wisdom, with stark reflections of the truth (in vino veritas), and with a variety of prayerful longing that is found throughout all mystical traditions.SWEET LUNACY contains works by some of the most well-known mystical Sufi poets from the 11th through the 14th century, including Rumi, Attar, and Jami. But the reader will also meet lesser-known authors here whose messages, both unique and fresh, are equally inspiring. The poets in this collection are those who, for reasons which might not seem altogether reasonable to our everyday mind and logic, were willing and able to question this mystery called life and, unwilling to accept readymade answers. Vraje Abramian, born in Iran and a native speaker of Farsi, has worked to keep his translations as close to the meaning and cultural flavour of the originals as possible.

De Gruyter Re-centering the Sufi Shrine: A Metaphysics of
Book SynopsisRecentering the Sufi Shrine is a study of ritual, Sufi eschatology, and vernacular theopoetics of pilgrimage to Sufi shrines in the Indus region of Pakistan. The book examines the distinction between two different ritual contestations over pilgrimage to Sufi tombs: (1) an exposition of Ṭariqa-i Muhammadiyya’s millenarian Scripturalist reform of Sufism, and (2) Bulleh Shah’s (d. 1767) vernacular Sufism, a hard-hitting Sufi-poet of textual ("bookish") knowledge of religious scholars. This is the first work examining the legal theology of ritual intervention in using scripture to regulate the resurrected bodies of saints, on the one hand, and the ritual metaphysics of presence in understanding the significance and meaning of Sufi shrines, on the other.

Sterling Publishers Pvt.Ltd Essence of Sufism: The Union of Tasawwuf &
Book SynopsisTasawwuf is the very essence of Sufism and that of man''s existence. Evolving out of Islam, it has now become part of the inner life of every aspirant. Islam centres around four pillars Shariat, Hadith, Tariqat, and Tasawwuf. Of this Shariat and hadith form the part of the outer body of the religion. And tariqat and tasawwuf form the inner core of The Holy Prophet PBH. Tariqat and tasawwuf are connected to the nisbet of the Holy Prophet PBH. Tariqat prepares you along the way and tasawwuf preserves your awareness. This work is the combination of the Kalam of various composers and Sheikhs such as Rattan Lal Hangloo, Jalaluddin Rumi, Mahadevi Verma, Naqshbandi Sufi Brij Mohan Lal, and many more. The essence of these compositions is blended with the Naqshbandi nisbet to create maraqba in the form of The Essence of Sufism. This work will be remembered, now and in times to come, as a new era in Tasawwuf!

Sterling Publishers Pvt.Ltd Sufism and Modern Science
Book SynopsisSufism and Modern Science sheds light on the relationship between science and Sufism in Islamic history and philosophy. Al-Ghazali, Mevlana Rumi, Hasan al-Basri, Akshemseddin and Ahmed Süreyya Emin Bey are some of the names in the long list of Sufis who contributed to the field of science and philosophy. From the process of converting one element into another to the idea of overcoming time and space, Sufis have silently worked on and contributed to several scientific theories and theorems. Although this was not their main duty, they were pioneers in the positive sciences. Some Sufis used symbolic expressions which could be related to the terms developed by scientists only centuries later. From this, it is possible to sense the depth of the scientific foresight of the Sufis who also helped untangle the obstructed horizons of positive sciences. This book enlightens the readers of the lost history of science which was immensely enriched by the Sufis in different periods of time.
