By E.H. Whinfield

Book Overview

Lawa�������Ih: A Treatise On Sufism (1906) is a book written by Jami, also known as Nur-Ud-Din Abd-Ur-Rahman, a renowned Persian poet, mystic, and scholar of the 15th century. The book is a collection of Jami's teachings on Sufism, a mystical branch of Islam that emphasizes the inward search for God and the attainment of spiritual enlightenment. The book is divided into 10 chapters, each covering a different aspect of Sufism, such as the nature of the soul, the stages of spiritual development, and the importance of love and devotion. Jami draws on the teachings of earlier Sufi masters, such as Rumi and Ibn Arabi, as well as his own experiences and insights, to provide a comprehensive guide to Sufi practice and philosophy. In addition to its spiritual content, Lawa�������Ih is also valued for its literary merit. Jami's prose is noted for its elegance and clarity, and his use of metaphor and symbolism adds depth and richness to his teachings. The book has been translated into numerous languages and continues to be studied and admired by scholars and practitioners of Sufism around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
