Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is 'Allamah Hasan Mustafawi's exposition of the known treatise on mystical wayfaring (Risaleh-ye Sayr wa Suluk) widely attributed to Sayyid Mahdi Bahr al-Ulum al-Burujirdi al-Najafi (died 1212 AH/1797-98). Though concise, this book has made clear all stages and stations of mystical wayfaring and the degrees of perfection of the human soul in the best and most comprehensive mode of expression and substantiated by holy Qur'anic verses, noble traditions (aḥādīth), and rational proofs. As 'Allamah Mustafawi describes, "This noble treatise, which in my manuscript is entitled Tuhfat al-Muluk fī 's-Sayr wa 's-Suluk and in other manuscripts as Risalah fi 's-Sayr wa 's-Suluk, has been one of the best books ever written in the field of mystical wayfaring, and the purification and refinement of the soul. In fact, this nondescript has not yet come across another book on this subject that is as firm, indisputable, accurate, and comprehensive as this treatise." The eminent author has elaborated and elucidated this treatise, which if meticulously and enthusiastically studied and examined, it is clear that apart from tactfully explaining the concepts and subjects of the esteemed Sayyid, he has also independently stated many divine fundamentals, principles, truths, and knowledge according to his enlightened viewpoint within the framework of the book's exposition-fundamentals and concepts that bespeak of this noble man's unique cognizance and mastery of mystical wayfaring (sayr wa sulūk).

This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shining Sun is a tribute to the life and thought of the renowned Islamic scholar, Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Tabataba’i, written soon after his death by one of his students. Shining Sun includes an overview of Tabataba’i’s life and transcriptions of discussions between Tabataba’i and his students. These discussions cover history, philosophy, mysticism, theology, and the Qur’an. Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Tabataba’i (1902-1981), commonly referred to as the most learned (‘Allamah), was a prominent Muslim scholar who breathed new life into the Shi‘a seminaries by establishing courses on the interpretation of the Qur’an and by introducing a novel method of Qur’anic interpretation. He was a master of Islamic philosophy and a model of spirituality. "‘Allamah Tabataba’i is undoubtedly the major Shi`a thinker of modern times, and his impact on Persian philosophy and theology is incomparable. Anyone who approaches his work is bound to be impressed by it, and the fertility of his thought can be seen in the considerable contributions that his many students have continued to make to Islamic philosophy. It is wonderful to see the Persian tradition of respecting great personalities in writing continuing in modern times." - Oliver Leaman, University of Kentucky, USA

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book combines scholarly research into certain aspect of Sufi doctrines and history with a penetrating account of the spiritual and metaphysical message and significance of Sufism as a living spiritual tradition. In an original discussion, unlike anything that has appeared before in studies of Sufism, the author places special accent on the pertinence of Sufi teachings to the most acute contemporary problems. The book addresses itself to both the ever-increasing Western public interested in Sufism and to the Western-educated Muslim interested in his own spiritual heritage. Dr. Nasr draws on his intimate knowledge of the Sufi literature in Arabic and Persian as well as his first-hand knowledge of Sufi tradition itself to produce this further volume in his numerous studies on the different facets of Islam.
