In this short account of Sufism, the name given to the mysticism of Islam, the author shows how mysticism developed out of a single creed and ritual and the influence it exerts on the life, art and literature of the Muslim people. The Sufi is bound to study the life of the Mohammed, to comprehend his code of conduct and be intimate with the Traditions, handed down from generation to generation which are the source of his enlightenment. The Muslim mystic may hope, even in his own life, to win a glimpse of immortality.

Sufism

Harpercollins College Div

The ecstatic, spiritual poetry of thirteenth-century Sufi mystic Rumi has enchanted the world, and doubtless its appeal is due to its unique blend of beauty, insight, wit, daring and depth. Coleman Barks, through his musical and magical translations, has been instrumental in bringing this exquisite literature to a remarkably wide range of literary and spiritual readers, lovers, and seekers. With the addition of over eighty never-before-published poems and a new introduction by Barks, The Essential Rumi is clearly the definitive collection of Rumi's delightful poetry.
