HEIRS OF THE PROPHETS
[Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali & Zaid Shakir]
The Heirs of the Prophet is an extraordinary book representing one of the many streams of traditional Islamic scholarship. In addition to huge multi-volume compendiums, many scholars also composed shorter treatises that focused, for example, on one particular statement (hadith) of the Prophet Muhammad. This volume is such a work. Imam Ibn Rajab, who is considered one of the foremost authorities of Prophetic tradition of his day, wrote this deeply inspiring commentary on one hadith of the Prophet in which he said, 'The scholars are the heirs of the Prophets.' Ibn Rajab was able to bring together the ethics, authentic stories, and penetrating insights that relate to the noble enterprise of true learning.

MUSLIMS IN CHINA
[Aliya Ma Lynn]
Text in English & Chinese. Trade with Muslims from the Middle East brought Islam to China, and Muslims in China have had a powerful influence in many sectors of Chinese society. Aliya Ma Lynn in "Muslims in China" explores the beginnings of Islam in China, the assimilation of Muslims into Chinese culture, the hardships they had to endure, the struggle of Muslims to keep their faith while dealing with pressure to conform, and how the advent of Islam altered the history of China. The Islamic identity is outlined to demonstrate how complete and separate it is from other identities and how Muslims in China have fought to keep this identity alive.

PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA
[Lady Evelyn Cobbold; Introduction by William Facey & Miranda Taylor; Footnotes by Professor Ahmad S Turkistani]
As the first British woman convert to Islam on record as having made the pilgrimage to Makkah and the visit to the Prophet's Tomb at Madinah, Lady Evelyn Cobbold (1867-1963) cuts a unique figure in the annals of the Muslim Hajj. Lady Evelyn was in her mid-sixties when she decided to go on the Hajj. Daughter of the distinguished Scottish explorer Lord Dunmore, granddaughter of the Earl of Leicester, and great-niece of the notorious romantic Lady Jane Digby el-Mezrab, the young Evelyn Murray had spent childhood winters in North Africa. There she had been imbued with the Muslim way of life, becoming, as she puts it, 'a little Muslim at heart'. Before and after the First World War she travelled widely in Egypt, Syria and Transjordan. While strongly drawn to the Arab world, she maintained a conventional place in society at home, marrying the wealthy John Cobbold in 1891 and devoting herself to her Suffolk house and Scottish estate, her gardens, and especially deer-stalking in the Highlands, of which she was a renowned exponent. When her husband, by then High Sheriff of Suffolk, died in 1929, Lady Evelyn decided to perform the pilgrimage. Arriving at Jiddah by steamer from Suez in February 1933, she stayed with the Philbys and entered into the life of Jiddah's foreign community while waiting to obtain permission to perform the Haj. In doing so, she had to overcome the considerable suspicion surrounding foreign 'converts' who, Muslims felt, made the pilgrimage and then wrote about it as a dangerous and sensational adventure. While in Jiddah she received visits from various officials of the royal court, notably the King's son the Amir Faysal (later King Faysal). PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA is as much an account of an interior journey of faith as a conventional travelogue. It takes the form of a day-by-day journal, interspersed with digressions on the history and merits of Islam. While awaiting permission to go to Makkah, she was allowed to travel to Madinah, of which she gives an enchanting account. She is the first English writer to give a first-hand description of the life of the women's quarters of the households in which she stayed in Madinah, Makkah and Muna -- an account remarkable for its sympathy and vividness. Her book was published in 1934 to favourable reviews but has never until now been reprinted. This new edition, with a biographical introduction by William Facey and Lady Evelyn's great-great-niece Miranda Taylor, serves to rescue this unique and intriguing Anglo-Muslim from the neglect that has since befallen her, even among scholars specialising in women travellers.

SEVEN DAYS OF THE HEART
: Prayers for the Nights & Days of the Week
[Stephen Hirtenstein & Pablo Beneito]
Ibn ´Arabî (1165-1240) has long been known as a great spiritual master. His many works of prose and poetry are beginning to be more accessible in translation in Western languages. They possess the remarkable quality of being able to speak to people of all walks of life and belief, across the apparent barrier of many centuries and differing cultures. Despite this growing interest, the prayers which are attributed to him remain little-known. They provide a most precious glimpse into the real practice of the mystical life within the Sufi tradition. This is the first time that any of Ibn ´Arabî's prayers have been published in another language. This particular collection is one of the most beautiful, having been revered in the Islamic world for centuries. There are fourteen prayers, one for each day and night of the week. They include not only the most astounding expressions of contemplation and devotion to God, but also an unparalleled depth of knowledge of Union (tawhîd). As the translators show in their introduction, the very structure of the prayers is a mode of contemplation, since for Ibn ´Arabî the weekly cycle itself is sacred. These prayers are presented with notes and appendices.

SHI'A SECTS
: Kitab Firaq al-Shi'a
[Abu Muammad al Hasan ibn Musa Al-Nawbakhti; Translated, Introduced & Annotated by Abbas Kadhim]
Experts on Islam consider Kitab Firaq al-Shi'a a seminal work for two main reasons: Firstly, it is the earliest work on the subject that has survived in its entirety. Secondly, it is the earliest textbook that provides an Imami Shi'a perspective on the differences among, and origins of, the Islamic sects including a full exposition of various sects within Shi'ism. Since the German scholar, Helmut Ritter, published the first Arabic edition of the book in 1931, it has emerged as one of the important classics in its field and an indispensable tool for researchers on Islam. Properly introduced and extensively annotated, this edition is the first complete English translation of Kitab Firaq al-Shia. al-Hasan ibn Musa al-Nawbakhti was a tenth-century CE theologian and philosopher in Baghdad whose most important contributions were to the field of history of religions and sects. Kitab Firaq al-Shia is his only extant work.

BLESSED DAYS & NIGHTS OF THE ISLAMIC YEAR
[Hüseyin Algül]
The blessed days, nights, and months are each a distinctive sign of Islam. They are celebrated by Muslims all around the world in due respect to their unique worth and sanctity that make them distinct from the rest of the year. Although the worth and sanctity of these special times have essentially been shaped by the Islamic tradition from the seventh century onwards, most of these dates have their origins far back in history.

ESSENTIALS OF THE ISLAMIC FAITH
[M Fethullah Gülen]
This is a selection from some of the speeches M Fethullah Gülen has given to large audiences over a life-time of dedicated service. In these speeches, he explains the principal elements of Islamic belief -- belief in the existence and Unity of God; in Resurrection and the Day of Judgement; in Divine Scriptures and other familiar themes of Islamic discourse. What is special and unique about the presentation of them in this book is that the author is constantly aware of the encroachment (and the seductive appeal) of cultural attitudes which are hostile not to Islam only but to any religious and contemplative way of life.

MAN & THE UNIVERSE
: An Islamic Perspective
[Dr Mostafa Al-Badawi]
It is now obvious that something has gone very wrong in the West, and that psychological and social alternatives have become pressing issues. In this timely book, Dr Badawi reminds us that Islam has a historically verifiable track record for healing social chaos and individual tragedy. Sadly, the principles of Islam have all too often been suppressed by the deluge of educational materials, media and socio-economic strangulation from the West. Dr Badawi provides a powerful overview of Islamic metaphysics and unearths its spiritual, social and ethnic values as well as a diagnosis of modern man. This is an urgent piece of writing about what we are and where we are.

MILLENNIUM ISLAM
[Sheikh Latif Abdul-Malik (ed)]
Everywhere we turn we see miracles. Humans, animals, water -- everything is a miracle. Muslims know the Miracle of Allah to be the Holy Qur'an, a book, but no ordinary book. True, it may be on paper and written in ink like millions of other books, but this book is the Final Revelation of Allah. Within it is contained the guidance to being a better person, a Muslim, the person who worships Allah, the Creator of the Worlds. Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her for being one of the beloved wives of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said of him after his death: "He was the Qur'an in action". The first word revealed to Muhammad (pbuh) by the Archangel Jibril (Gabriel) was 'Iqra' which means 'Read!' The future is not about wars, it is about information, and the best information is knowledge. Muslim scholars through the ages have written volumes on every aspect of life using this word, 'Read!' as the basis for their inspiration. Islam is a force which cannot be hijacked -- its Message is universal and the more people that know The Truth, the more can embrace it. Thus, a book recommending the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh) is to be the foundation on which to spread Islam in the Millennium. This book is addressed to all of Mankind, but its true value lies in the Message to those who are the Best of Mankind, the Ummah of Muslims. It is intended to provide hope and guidance to Muslims, those who submit to Allah, but it also acts as a warning. It is a warning to those who fear Islam becoming the dominant force. Have no fear -- Islam will become the dominant force of the future. This book is also for non-Muslims who are disillusioned with the greed, corruption, moral decay, poverty, evil and hatred that surrounds them. You know that there is a better world out there, where life is better, where people are nice and decent to each other, where the right laws are enforced in the right way, where the rich give to the poor, where man regards his fellow man like his own brother. This book will hopefully show you that better world. The best weapons of any battle are not the latest in technology -- it is always knowledge. The ideas, notions and values that are contained here are those that nobody can ever criticise as a whole -- the concept is too strong and the earliest intention is the Truth, and nothing but the Truth, in the history of humanity, the only book to neither be changed nor contain any error is the Holy Qur'an. The simpleton and the intellectual will both be convinced if Allah wills. However, like any other book, it is not what we have read, but what we have learned. The moment we learn, the world will change. This book is dedicated to Allah, the Provider of Guidance, the Professor of Majesty and Beauty, and His Messenger, the Best Example of Mankind, and to all Muslims, the Best of Mankind (HQ, 3.110).

PEARLS OF WISDOM
[M Fethullah Gülen]
This book is a compilation of some of the wise sayings of M Fethullah Gülen, each of which is a criterion or pearl of wisdom by which we may seek and find our way in todays world, or a light illuminating our way, to live as a responsible human being. It contains golden rules for the journeying through life. Those who attempt to reform the world must first reform themselves. In order to be followed by others in the way to a better world, they must purify their inner worlds of hatred, rancour, and jealousy and adorn their outer worlds with all kinds of virtues. The utterances of those who are far removed from self-control and self-discipline, who have failed to refine their feelings, may seem attractive and insightful at first, but they will not be able to inspire others or, if indeed they do, the sentiments they arouse will soon die away. Goodness, beauty, truthfulness and being virtuous lie in the essence of the world. Whatever happens, the world will one day find this essence and no one will be able to prevent that happening.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ABOUT FAITH, VOLUME 1
[M Fethullah Gülen]
Why did God create the universe? Did He need to? What is the meaning of God's sending man to this world and as He does not need our worship, why does He want us to worship Him? Is the Quran, as some people say, the work of Prophet Muhammad? If it is not, how can it be proved that it is not? What is Prophethood? What does it mean for people? Why does God not endow His servants equally? Why does He create some of them blind, disabled, or afflicted in other ways? What is reincarnation? Does it conform in any way to the teaching of Islam? In the past, unbelief was the result of ignorance. Then, when people learned about the truth, they were enlightened and found peace of mind. But recently unbelief, rejection, and denial have been attitudes of those who consider themselves knowledgeable in all fields, who claim to accept and believe only on rational or scientific ground. Cloaked in science and rational philosophy, the activity of unbelief continues in many forms. The quality of believers submission is impaired, under constant threat and attack. In this book Fethullah Gülen, sensitive to the real questions people have -- the questions given rise to by the modern age -- has tried, through patient argument, to answer peoples doubts and questions.

RESURRECTION & THE AFTERLIFE
[Ali Ünal]
Thanks to the advances of modern science, we have an ever-increasing appreciation of just what an amazing creation our universe is. Even the knowledge that scientists and doctors continue to gather about our bodies stagger our imaginations. We see miracles repeated so many times that we take them for granted; the changes of the seasons, rain from the clouds, the growth of flowers and trees, and the soil's production of all kinds of fruit. We look around us and see the fantastic abundance of animate and inanimate life: animals, geological features, water, fish, stars and so on. Any person given to reflection must wonder what purpose all of creation serves. Does everything exist for a while and then disappear into nothingness? Or, is it here for a while and then transformed into something eternal? Of course, this question includes humanity. Where are we headed, and what will happen to us when we get there? Basing himself on Said Nursi's 'Risale-i Nur', Ali Ünal presents a scientific and logical argument for the validity of one of religion's main elements of faith: belief in the resurrection and the afterlife.

SATANISM
: and False Mystical Trends
[Louisa Cunningham (ed)]
Satanism, the main subject of this book, is the name for the so-called worship of Satan and it presents a grim example of movements that have emerged as a result of the weakened moral codes of society. No conscientious person can remain indifferent to young people being misled by such movements. Satanism is defined as 'the worship of Satan'. Yet the Qur'an expresses very clearly in various verses that Satan is the 'archenemy of man'. Moreover the Qur'an also states that Satan never claimed to be an idol to be worshipped. Unfortunately, the advent of Satanism is a warning that compels us to think about the mistakes we have made in bringing up the younger generation. If we fail to take early precautions, it may be too late for many young people.

TOWARD A GLOBAL CIVILIZATION OF LOVE & TOLERANCE
[M Fethullah Gülen]
This book has a double purpose. On the one hand, it is a call to Muslims to a greater awareness that Islam teaches the need for dialogue and that Muslims are called to be agents and witnesses to God's universal mercy. On the other hand, the book is an invitation to non-Muslims to move beyond prejudice, suspicion, and half-truths in order to arrive at an understanding what Islam is really about.

CONTEMPLATION OF THE HOLY MYSTERIES
[Celilia Twinch & Pablo Beneito]
The Contemplation of the Holy Mysteries and the Rising of the Divine Lights is a major work of mystical literature. One of the first writings of the Andalusian master, Muhyîddîn Ibn 'Arabî (1165-1240), composed when he was just twenty-nine, it is nonetheless a mature work consisting of fourteen visions. They are in the form of dramatic conversations with the Divine, interspersed with dazzling visionary episodes, regarding the nature of existence, our relationship with the all-encompassing Reality, and the way to achieve true happiness. The work is a superb example of Ibn 'Arabî's inimitable style and deep perception, presented here for the first time in English. The extremely helpful notes are mostly based on Ibn 'Arabî's own oral commentary, and the appendices provided by the translators summarise Ibn 'Arabî's prologue and epilogue.

DRUNKEN UNIVERSE
: An Anthology of Persian Sufi Poetry
[Peter Lamborn Wilson & Nasrollah Pourjavady]
Sufism can be seen to have functioned as a positive and healthy reaction to the overly rational activity of the philosophers and theologians. For the Sufis, the road to spiritual knowledge could never be confined to the process of purely intellectual activity, without the direct, immediate experience of the Heart. In this book we are concerned with one art that the Sufis made peculiarly their own: poetry. Why should Sufis in general, and Persian Sufis in particular, choose to write poetry? When they wanted to 'be themselves', lovers of the Truth, they needed a language more intense, closer to the centre of human awareness than prose. Truth is beautiful, so when one speaks of it, one speaks beautifully. As the lover sings to his beloved, so did the Sufis to theirs. Love itself creates a taste for this language, so that even the prose writers of Sufism scatter verse throughout their works and create poetic prose. The overwhelming theme of this poetry is the Love relationship between the individual, the lover, and his Beloved, God.

This is a remarkable and timely book. It nicely transcends the usual dichotomy of scholarly and devotional Rumi book by drawing on the wisdom of a magnificent contemporary living sage who drinks from the eternal fountains of compassion that flow through Mevlanas writings. The level of engagement with all the classical Persian sources, and the spiritual sensitivity is astonishing. This is a luminous work that should be committed to heart by all Rumi lovers all over the world.

HAND OF POETRY
: Five Mystic Poets of Persia
[Coleman Barks, Translator]
The book offer entrance into a world and beauty and truth. Its method is two-fold. First it presents five important lectures on Persian poetry given by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan, who brought Sufis to the West. Then it offers fresh translations by the poet Coleman Barks of some of the poetry Inayat Khan discusses, designed to provide readers with ready access to at least a sample of this wondrous literature, still not easy to find in English. Thus the book presents a brief, but reasonably comprehensive, introduction to one of the great literatures of the world, until recently ignored in the West.

INNER LIFE
: Three Classic Essays on the Spiritual Life by the Beloved Teacher Who Brought Sufism to the West
[Hazrat Inayat Khan]
The Indian Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882-1927) was the first teacher to bring Sufism -- Islamic mysticism -- to the Western world. His teaching was noted for its stirring beauty and power, as well as for its applicability to all people, regardless of religious or philosophical background. This book gathers together three of Inayat Khan's most beloved essays on the spiritual life from among the fourteen volumes of his collected works: "The Inner Life": Inayat Kahn's sublime portrait of the person whose life is a radiant reflection of the Divine; "Sufi Mysticism": in which the author identifies and shatters the common misconceptions about mysticism to reveal its true meaning; "The Path of Initiation and Discipleship": What it means to set out on the spiritual path and how to find and maintain the right relationship with a teacher.

KEY CONCEPTS IN THE PRACTICE OF SUFISM 1
: Emerald Hills of the Heart
[M Fethullah Gülen]
The origin of Sufism -- Self criticism; Reflection; Privacy and seclusion; Heart; Hope or expectation; Asceticism. People follow the Sufi path when they sense that Islam has a deeper dimension. The resulting self-purification leads to this inner dimension of Islamic rituals, a deeper understanding of the Divine acts, and a greater knowledge and love of Him. After this, God draws the novice to Himself. With the help of a spiritual guide, the novice begins the life-long journey back to God. This continual process of spiritual development along a path of the innate human poverty, helplessness, and powerlessness before God is undertaken in the knowledge that everything comes from God. Each novice does what is necessary to grow spiritually, and God bestows the appropriate blessings and stations. "The highest aim of creation and its most sublime result is belief in God. The most exalted rank of humanity is knowledge of God. The most radiant happiness and sweetest bounty for jinn and humanity is love of God contained within the knowledge of God; the purest joy for the human spirit and the purest delight for the human heart is spiritual ecstasy contained within the love of God. Indeed, all true happiness, pure joy, sweet bounties, and unclouded pleasure are contained within the knowledge and love of God." And Sufism is the school where people can realise the highest aim of creation.

KEY CONCEPTS IN THE PRACTICE OF SUFISM 2
: Emerald Hills of the Heart
[M Fethullah Gulen]
What is Sufism? Reaching true belief in Gods Divine Oneness and living in accordance with its demands; Heeding the Divine Speech (the Qurân), discerning and then obeying the commands of the Divine Power and will as they relate to the universe (the laws of creation and life); Overflowing with divine Love and getting along with all other beings in the realisation (originating from divine Love) that the universe is a cradle of brotherhood; Giving preference or precedence to the well-being and happiness of others; Being open to love, spiritual places and associating with people who encourage the avoidance of sin and striving in the way of God; Being content with permitted pleasures, and not taking even a single step toward that which is not permitted; Struggling continuously against worldly ambitions and illusions, which lead us to believe that this world is eternal.

MAN OF LIGHT IN IRANIAN SUFISM
[Henry Corbin]
In the Sufism of ancient Iran, the quest for the dawning of light in the cosmic North symbolises the mystic's search for realisation. In this spiritual journey, the light arising in man's inner darkness -- the Northern Light or Midnight Sun -- represents the impartial but brilliant light of truth, that which sets us free from egotism and from slavery to material existence.

MASTERY THROUGH ACCOMPLISHMENT
[Hazrat Inayat Khan]
A good place to begin working with Inayat Khan's teachings. Many consider 'Mastery' to be the most practical place to begin working with the teachings of Inayat Khan. In the words of the author: "It is not necessary for man to leave all the things of the world and go into retreat. He can attend to his business, to his profession, to his duties in life and yet at the same time develop this spirit in himself which is the spirit of mastery. Mastery is not only a means of accomplishing the things of the world, but it is that by which a person fulfils the purpose of his life."

PAGES IN THE LIFE OF A SUFI
[Musharaff Moulamia Khan]
"This book is published to give its readers a little taste, a marvellous perfume, a stolen glance into an India which is all these romantic and spiritual things. A nation where saints were produced and souls are elevated. We can never be sufficiently grateful for this priceless little book, for in these pages we can find what no camera can capture and no roaming to live sadhus or sages can achieve. The Sufi Message brought to the West by Inayat Khan, the eldest brother of the author, Musharaff Khan, bears in itself some of the subtleties and glowing aspects which these pages will inspire within us. No doubt to the Sufis, this book will be an invaluable treasure to help understand the Sufi Messenger, the Sufi Message and the Sufi Movement." -- Mashaikh Fazal Inayat Khan.

PEARL IN WINE
: Essays on the Life, Music & Sufism of Hazrat Inayat Khan
[Pirzade Zia Inayat Khan]
The thirteen essays in this volume collectively bring to the fore Hazrat Inayat Khan's remarkable multidimensionality. The figure that emerges eludes easy categorisation. We are confronted with a paragon of high Mughal culture who was equally a forerunner of post-nationalist cosmopolitanism; a performer of sacred music and a sage with a musical message; a tradition-sanctioned Chishti initiator inspired with an urgent transcendental vision of radical ecumenism and global spiritual renewal.

QUARRELING WITH GOD
: Mystic Rebel Poems of the Dervishes of Turkey
[Jennifer Ferraro; With Latif Bolat]
For the first time in English, this collection presents a compilation of seven centuries of the mystic hymns of Turkey's rebellious Sufi poets, the popular folk counterparts to Rumi whose poems are characterised by a passionate and unorthodox commitment to Truth. At the time Rumi was writing in ancient Anatolia, many other great mystics in the region were also composing wild, ecstatic and controversial poems which were circulated among the people as spiritual songs (called 'nefes' and 'illahis') still played and sung today in sacred dervish ceremonies and gatherings. These poems were meant to swiftly and easily penetrate the heart of the spiritual aspirant whether educated or uneducated, and awaken the human heart to its divine inheritance. These poems present a spiritual tradition from the Islamic world which bravely challenged orthodox religion and emphasised universal mystic love and tolerance.

[Translated by Shahram Shiva]
This book contains 180 translations of Rumi's short devotional poems, or quatrains. Shiva's versions are based on his own carefully documented translation of Rumi from the original Persian.

The result is a text to delight, intrigue and inspire.

RUMI
: Fragments * Ecstasies
[Daniel Liebert, Translator]
The fragments collected here include the essence of Rumi's teaching, distilled from over 60,000 verses composed by the 13th century Sufi master. Jelaluddin Rumi may be the greatest poet the world has known, and is the most widely-read poet today -- seven centuries after his death! The secret of this mystery lies within these pages. The poems of the Sufis of Persia and elsewhere, such as Hafiz and Jami, Rumi and Farid-ud-Din Attar, are not only philosophical statements, but they are written from beginning to end in admiration of beauty. And if one were to dive deep into their every verse, one would find that each one is equal to a hundred books full of philosophy. Why? Because their souls have been moved to dance at the sight of beauty. What they have expressed in their words is living, burning full of beauty. It penetrates the one who can feel it, who can admire it. Jelaluddin Rumi gave a new life and a new form to the mystic current, and it is from his time that the Sufi mystic culture spread throughout the world. He is the first mystic who came forward in the world and said that the essence of spirituality is the quality of heart. No mystic will ever say it as Rumi has: "Whether you love man or whether you love God, at the end of your destiny you will be brought before the King of love." The difference between Jelaluddin Rumi's work and the work of the great Hafiz of Persia is that Hafiz has pictured the outer life, whereas Rumi has pictured the inner life. And if I were to compare the three greatest poets of Persia, I would call Sa'di the body of the poet, Hafiz the heart of the poet, and Rumi the soul of the poet.

SEVEN DAYS OF THE HEART
: Prayers for the Nights & Days of the Week
[Stephen Hirtenstein & Pablo Beneito]
Ibn ´Arabî (1165-1240) has long been known as a great spiritual master. His many works of prose and poetry are beginning to be more accessible in translation in Western languages. They possess the remarkable quality of being able to speak to people of all walks of life and belief, across the apparent barrier of many centuries and differing cultures. Despite this growing interest, the prayers which are attributed to him remain little-known. They provide a most precious glimpse into the real practice of the mystical life within the Sufi tradition. This is the first time that any of Ibn ´Arabî's prayers have been published in another language. This particular collection is one of the most beautiful, having been revered in the Islamic world for centuries. There are fourteen prayers, one for each day and night of the week. They include not only the most astounding expressions of contemplation and devotion to God, but also an unparalleled depth of knowledge of Union (tawhîd). As the translators show in their introduction, the very structure of the prayers is a mode of contemplation, since for Ibn ´Arabî the weekly cycle itself is sacred. These prayers are presented with notes and appendices.

SOUL WHENCE & WHITHER
[Hazrat Inayat Khan]
The lectures present here are a revision of earlier publications that were undertaken in the light of verbatim reports found in the archives of the Nekbakht Foundation. These documents include the questions and answers which were raised after Hanrat Inayat's talks. The work falls naturally into three parts: the journey of the soul before its arrival on earth, the soul during its stay on earth, and finally the return journey of the soul on its passing beyond its terrestrial experience.

SOUL'S JOURNEY
[Hazrat Inayat Khan]
The book brings a modern Sufi perspective to the essential questions about the nature and meaning of life, exploring the experience of the soul as it extends outward toward manifestation, during its life on earth, and finally as it draws back to its source in the one being. In this book, Inayat Khan offers the spiritual seeker an authentic and invaluable map of the territory we call human life. He presents abstract and complex issues with a simplicity that is engaging and even disarming. 'The Soul's Journey' is an illuminating guide for anyone seeking to understand the depths of his or her own true nature. Where did we come from? What are we doing here? Where are we going? And what is the meaning of it all?

SUFI MESSAGE OF SPIRITUAL LIBERTY, VOLUME 4
: Health & Healing -- The Purificationof Mind & Body
[Hazrat Inayat Khan]
This volume contains Health; Mental Purification; The Mind World. These books explain the Sufi teachings concerning the influence of the mind on the body and the possibilities to restore rhythm and tone of a person through spiritual healing. When Health, the first book of this volume, was published in 1931 it met with great interest, for it is as rare to find a book on spiritual healing in which the advance of modern medical science is appreciated, as to find acknowledgement of spiritual healing in a medical text-book. Hazrat Inayat Khan, the Sufi mystic, has set forth in the lectures and other papers included in Health, which were originally intended only for his pupils, the basic laws, governing the divine healing power as well as several methods it application. As with all mystical knowledge, the printed word alone can never confer the power and knowledge of healing upon anyone; a guide, a teacher is essential; but the reader will find in Inayat Khan's hitherto unpublished lectures on the workings and hygiene of the mind and kindred subjects. This volume ends with The Mind-world, a book which was first published separately in 1935 and reprinted in 1955; its title speaks for itself. While Volume 3 contains most of Hazrat Inayat Khan's books and lectures on human relationship, Volume 4 may be considered as a continuation of Volume 2, which deals principally with the metaphysical aspect of creation, tracing a line from its origin, to the human mind.

SUFISM IN ACTION
: Achievement, Inspiration & Integrity in a Tough World
[Dr H J Witteveen]
For those who seek to reconcile the quest for material gain with the search for spiritual fulfilment, Sufism -- the mysticism of Islam -- may provide an answer. Written by an eminent economist who is vice president of the International Sufi Movement, this illuminating work shows how it is possible to be active in the modern world while remaining faithful to ideals and in touch with the divine spirit. It focuses on the teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan, the Indian mystic and musician, who brought a message to Western culture that harmonised East with West and emphasised the universal character of all religious ideals. Through universal Sufism, individuals can discover the inner world and achieve a fuller and more satisfying life.

SUFISM
: The Heart of Islam
[Sheikh Khaled Ben Tounes]
This is a book on the 'inner Islam', the mystic Islam, known as Sufism. Sheikh Khaled is the current heir in a line of Sufi masters that dates back to the Prophet Mohamed, and his book is a generous testimony to the universality of religious truths. In our world, in which images of Islam are so linked with violence, we need an understanding that cuts to the heart of the matter -- the mystical heart -- transcending dogma, culture and fundamentalism. This book is based on the authentic spiritual experience of one who has lived this tradition for his entire life, and taught tens of thousands of others. Here we discover a path based on forgiveness, generosity, love and peace. A way that seeks to unite humankind in all its aspects -- body, mind and essence.

UNIVERSAL SUFISM
[Dr H J Witteveen]
There is more to Sufism than mere words or ideas. Sufism is not a theory. It possesses no dogma. Simply said Sufism is a way of life, an attitude towards living. Its roots are deep in the rich spiritual soil of ancient Egypt but the flowering of Islam brought forth further developments which led to its status as a holy way of living; an ideal which strives to keep the balance between the inner and outer world. This highly accomplished and deeply spiritual book is an exploration of the teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan, the great Indian mystic who modernised the age-old wisdom of Sufism at the turn of the century. To this end he created the Universal Worship with the aim of joining all religions together in one inspiring religious service. Written with a heartfelt passion, this book is an enlightening journey through the inner wisdom of Universal Sufism, which also manages to cast a light on the development of Sufi mysticism with a special emphasis on the teachings and writings of Hazrat Inayat Khan. As more and more people seek a sense of inner and outer peace this beautiful book makes for essential reading.

UNLIMITED MERCIFIER
: The Spiritual Life & Thought of Ibn 'Arabi
[Stephen Hirtenstein]
Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi (AD 1165-1240) is unquestionably one of the most profound figures in the history of world spirituality, a visionary of superlative wisdom and compassion. Known as the "Greatest Master" (al-Shaykh al-Akbar), he led an extraordinary inner and outer life. He travelled huge distances, from his native Spain to Syria and Turkey, writing over 350 books on the mystical path. His whole life was dedicated to exposing, at the deepest level, the primordial Unity underlying all human and natural existence, and the true degree of human dignity. The book presents a unique portrait of Ibn 'Arabi 'from the inside', using his own writing to tell the story of his life and teachings. The biographical chapters, supplemented with photographs and maps, give a vivid picture of his life and times during the height of medieval culture. These are interwoven with a series of chapters that portray the central elements of his thought, and highlight their relevance in today's world. This unusual approach gives a direct flavour of Ibn 'Arabi's genius, whose life and thought are inextricably linked. Above all, his deep insights into what it means to be truly human are applicable to people of all times and places. This highly readable and lucid book will appeal to anyone interested in the heart of Sufism or the mystical path and has a unique arrangement of biographical chapters alternating with chapters on major themes in his work.

WISDOM OF SUFISM
: Sacred Readings from the Gathas
[Hazrat Inayat Khan]
The Indian Sufi mystic and musician Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882-1927) was the very first teacher to bring Sufism -- the mystical heart of Islam -- to the Western world. Sufism is the religion of the heart and the Gathas are the teachings Inayat Khan gave to his students in America and Europe. They contain guidance on seven subjects: superstition, customs and beliefs, insights, symbology, breath, cultivation of the heart, everyday life and metaphysics. Clearly presented and easily accessible for the modern reader. The Gathas give a multi-faceted insight into the all-encompassing wisdom of Sufism which is perhaps more relevant today than ever before.

WOMEN CALLED TO THE PATH OF RUMI
: The Way of the Whirling Dervish
[Shakina Reinhertz]
This is the first English-language book to share the experience of Turning by women practitioners of the Mevlevi Order of Whirling Dervishes. The beauty and mystery of the Whirling Dervishes have captured the mythic imagination of the Western world for centuries. Rumi, the great Sufi saint of 13th-century Turkey, taught both male and female students this whirling dance, but in the centuries after his death women were excluded from participation. Not until the late 1970s, when Shaikh Suleyman Dede brought the Turn ritual to North America, was this practice again opened to women. This book outlines the history of the women who have followed this way since Rumi's time. The heart of the book is the personal experience of contemporary women -- interviews with over two dozen American initiates (from adolescents to wise elders), many of whom have practised on this path for twenty years or more.
