Description
What is Sufism? by Martin Lings provides an authoritative introduction to the mystical movement of the Sufis. Drawing on his lifelong interest in Islamic culture, Lings offers a profound understanding of Sufism and its many aspects.
This comprehensive guide explores the core beliefs and practices of the Sufis, treating all three key questions - what they believe, what they aim at, and what they do - with equal justice. The result is a wealth of insight into the subject matter itself.
