Acerca deste libro electrónico

This classic introduction to Sufism explores the inner, devotional, and poetic dimensions of Islam. Reynold Alleyne Nicholson, a leading scholar of Persian literature and Islamic mysticism, explains key Sufi concepts such as divine love, annihilation of the self, and union with God. He draws on Arabic and Persian texts, quoting early saints and celebrated poets to illustrate stages of the mystical path and the symbolism used to express spiritual experience. The book places Sufism within the broader framework of Islamic theology while also noting parallels with other mystical traditions. Although written in an earlier academic style, it remains admirably clear and sympathetic. For readers drawn to spirituality, comparative mysticism, or the rich heritage of Islamic poetry and thought, this volume offers an accessible gateway to a world of intense longing, discipline, and joy that has inspired seekers for centuries.
