The Knowledge of Sufism: Understanding and Interpreting Revelation
My intention in these pages is to show the way to God and to illuminate the Path that leads to Him. My intention is to wake the sleeping, stir the lazy into action, and invite men and women of high aspirations to the banquet of God. My intention is not to present the discipline of Sufism as a thoroughly documented academic history; such knowledge is of no benefit if the only thing behind it is intellectual curiosity. I speak from my heart to liberated hearts. Nonetheless, our conversation requires that we use our minds to seek clarity and that we familiarize ourselves with the conditions of the Folk so that we can rise up to race them, competing with them to attain every sort of excellence, as God (the Most Sublime) has commanded us.
