Tasawwuf is the term given to the Islamic science of Ihsan - the perfection and
purification of the soul. Its basis is divine law, its path is self-realisation,
and its purpose is the attainment of absolute sincerity. It is the inner dimension
of Islam - the soul that moves it, the vital force that strengthens it, and the
breath that sustains it. The path of tasawwuf must be taken from a revered and perfected
spiritual master; the bond between mater and pupil imitates the relationship between
the Holy Prophet (peace upon him) and his companions.
This excellent short work has been specifically designed to be accessible to the
lay person, explaining classical concepts in a lucid and systematic manner. It is
fully referenced and contains a biographical index of every scholar whose views
have been expressed in it. The first edition of this book sold out within weeks
when released in South Africa, and has formed the basis of a Master's Thesis in
Islamic thought.
