Just to remind everyone that the superb Idries Shah wrote many books on Sufi; also that it is not so much a purely Islamic tradition, as a much earlier one which incorporated itself into into Islam, as it had done before in early Christianity.

“The essence of any spiritual path is not in it’s history, it’s controversies or it’s mundane facts. The essence is the wisdom people have lived and been inspired by. Sufi mysticism is best known in the West through the work of Rumi, but in Essential Sufism he takes a back seat to such names as Hafiz, al-Ghazzali, Abu Sa’id, Junaid and more.”
