His Eminence Maulana Wahid Bakhsh Rabbani one of
the Khalifahs (deputy) of Hazrat Syed Muhammad Zauqi, Shah is one
of the eminent Sufi Saints of this century. He spent 12 years in the company
of his Sheikh and has been a practicing Sufi for the last 50 years. Like
his Sheikh, he has written several books on Sufism and translated some
important Sufi texts from Persian to Urdu. His articles and essays have
also appeared in the Sufi Path book series.
A truly inspirational book which one should not miss to read in the
present-day lop-sided and over-materialistic world, where man has deplorably
failed to strike a balance between his physical and spiritual life resulting
in untold misery restlessness, frustration, worries, woes, conflicts and
confrontations which have torn the world asunder.
The speciality of this wonderfully well-structured and comprehensive
manual on Sufism is that it not only clarifies the common misconceptions
about Sufism today:
· showing the source of Sufism to be the Holy Qur'an and the
Noble Prophet (S A W ) himself
· showing how Science and Sufism are but struggling for the some
goal
· that Sufism is the latest. earliest. simplest. quickest, and
most successful of all mystical systems in the world
· that Islamic Sufism advocates full participation in worldly
affairs unlike other mystical disciplines which are characterised by world
renunciation and asceticism perhaps most importantly.
This book will inspire the sincere seekers of God to aspire for the
highest goal that is GOD Himself, attracted to Him, and journeying
to Him, not only in life but in the grave, in paradise, and till
eternity.
