Overview

Ahmad Sirhindi is considered one of the founding figures of the renowned Naqshbandi-Mujaddidi Sufi lineage.

Offering access to the spiritual experiences and contemplative practices of a great 16th-century Sufi, this account demonstrates why there are so few other texts that have continued to impact Muslims in the eastern Islamic world.
