Description

The texts in this volume represent four phases of classical Islamic spirituality: (1) The pre-Sufi phase includes the Qur an, the central ritual elements of Islam, and the accounts of Prophet Muhammad s Mi raj: (2) The early period of Sufism includes the sayings and writings of the early Sufi masters such as Hasan of Basra, Dhun-Nun of Egypt, Rabi a of Basra, Bistami, Muhasibi, and Junayd of Baghdad, the legacies of whom have come down to us largely through collections of their sayings in the works of later writers. This phase extends from the time of Hasan of Basra (d. 110/728) to that of Niffari (d. 354/965); (3) The formative phase of Sufi literature shows Sufism as a self-conscious mode of spirituality embracing all aspects of life and society. This phase begins with Sarraj (d. 378/988) and extends to Qushayri (d. 465/1074); (4) The Sufi synthetic works of the seventh century of Islam by Attar, Rumi (d. 672/1273), and Ibn Arabi. The text selected for the volume are the early Sufi interpretations of Ja far al-Sadiq and Sahl al-Tustari, extracts from Qushayri s Risalah, life of Rabi a of Basra from Attar s Tadhkirah al-Awliya, parts of Muhasibi s Book on the Observance of the Rights of God, extracts from Sarraj s Kitab al-Luma on Bistami, extracts from Junaid on tawhid and fana, utterance of Hallaj of Iblis as a tragic lover and from his Diwan, extracts from Niffari s Kitab al-Mawaqif and Sharastani s theology.
