by Syed Ali bin Uthman al-Hujweri translation & commentary by W.B.S. Rabbani Kashful Mahjub, or "Unveiling the veiled"
is a classical text that has been newly re-published. It is the English
translation of the earliest Persian treatise on Sufism by the 11th century
A.D. Sufi saint, Syed Ali al-Hujweri. Al-Hujweri came from a place called
Hujwer in Afghanistan, travelling to many lands in search of wisdom. He
was well versed in all the Islamic sciences and his spiritual lineage traces
back to Junaid Baghdadi through al-Husri, An-Nasrabadi,
and Shibli. This book covers areas of higher topics on Sufism, describes the practices of various prominent Sufis and logically explains the differences in opinions in the various Sufi orders in a very conciliatory manner. An earlier version was done by Prof R.A. Nicholson, but proves difficult reading to modern day readers.This version is written in contemporary English and is especially valuable because of a running commentary written by the translator, a Sufi himself. The useful commentary explains hard to understand concepts in everyday terms. 1.5" x 8" x 10", 435 pages, US$ 32.00 |
