### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    An excellent introduction
  

*by E***D on Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2009*

I had done quite a bit of research on Sufism for a few courses and I have found Lings' little book to be absolutely remarkable.First, it is important to note that Lings writes from the perspective of Sufism, so he casually brushes aside orthodox readings in favor of spiritual or "vertical" readings of the Qur''n.  This makes for quite easy comparison with other forms of Mysticism, but I feel at times this isn't a very true approach.  To be more honest with the tradition, Sufism qua Islam would be more appropriate.  But, due to my own biases, Sufism qua Mysticism makes for a far more universal, comparative study.  Keep this bias in mind before reading.The book itself concisely covers all that one could ask for in a book this size.  Lings' ability to be terse yet illuminating is legendary here.  This seems to come from the power of his summations where he ties up his thoughts and makes very definite statements about the philosophy and implications of Sufism.  These tend to come across as both inspirational and brilliant.  Also, he splices citations into his reading effortlessly and poignantly which makes for great direction for further study.If you have a mystic bias this book will certainly deliver.  Even if you do not, Lings' understanding of the material is still unmistakable.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars
