Islamic Mysticism and Abu Talib Al-Makki: The Role of the Heart

By Saeko Yazaki

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the work of Abu Talib al-Makki and his wider significance within the Sufi tradition, with a focus on the role of the heart. Analysing his most significant work beyond the framework of Sufism, the author goes beyond an examination of the themes of the book to explore its influence not only in the writing of Sufis, but also of Hanbali and Jewish scholars.
