Secret of Secrets by Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani
Description
Secret of Secrets by Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani, Tosun Bayrak (trans)
An interpretative translation by Shaykh Tosun Bayrak of Sirr al-Asrar by Hadrat 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani (1077-1166AD), considered by many to be one of the greatest saints of Islam and the eponymous founder of the Qadiriyya order. This book, appearing in English for the first time, contains the very essence of Sufism, giving a Sufi explanation of how the outward practises of Islam-prayer, fasting, almsgiving and pilgrimage-contain a wealth of inner dimension which must be discovered and enjoyed if external actions are to be performed in a manner pleasing to God. When this is achieved the soul finds true peace and the spiritual life becomes complete.

The Openings Revealed in Makkah, Volume 1 (Books 1 & 2) by Ibn Arabi
£85.00
The Futuhat Project is the translation project by Dr. Eric Winkel of the entirety of al-Futuhat al-Makkiyah, The Openings Revealed in Makkah by Muhyiddin Ibn al-Arabi. This volume contains Books 1 & 2 of The Openings Revealed in Makkah and the project is anticipated to be completed in 2022 in nineteen volumes. The Greatest Teacher, al-Shaykh al-Akbar, Ibn al-Arabi dictated to his close friends this work of over 10,000 manuscript pages depicting the extraordinary vision of the Youth he encountered while circling the Kabah in Makkah. Despite its clear provenance as a completely accurate work, from the hand and mind of its transcriber, and its reputation through the centuries as the most significant and profound reflection of Islamic thought, the Futuhat al-Makkiyah has never been translated from the original classical Arabic in its entirety. From 2012, Dr. Winkel has been working exclusively on translating this work in order to produce the first complete translation into English of the Futuhat al-Makkiyah.
