Reviews
"""An unusual synthesis of the Naqshbandi teaching written in a clear language and a very didactic approach, Amin 'Ala al-Din al-Naqshbandi's book is a worthwhile exposition of Sufism written by a prominent shaykh of a famous Sufi family in the Kurdish area of Iraq."" --Thierry Zarcone, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique ""It is much to be welcomed that this concise introduction to Sufism, as understood by the Khalidi branch of the Naqshbandi order, is now available. . . . Particularly useful are the definitions of the technical terms of Sufism. Recommended as an antidote to the pseudo-Sufi literature now proliferating on the market."" --Hamid Algar, University of California"
