<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Unlike most English-language books on Sufism - which tend to reflect on the sociolcutural orientations of the modern West - this account provides a window into the living Sufism of the Khalidi-Naqshbandi of Kurdistan.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An unusual synthesis of the Naqshbandi teaching written in a clear language and a very didactic approach, Amin 'Ala al-Din al-Naqshbandi's book is a worthwhile exposition of Sufism written by a prominent shaykh of a famous Sufi family in the Kurdish area of Iraq." --Thierry Zarcone, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique<br><br>"It is much to be welcomed that this concise introduction to Sufism, as understood by the Khalidi branch of the Naqshbandi order, is now available. . . . Particularly useful are the definitions of the technical terms of Sufism. Recommended as an antidote to the pseudo-Sufi literature now proliferating on the market." --Hamid Algar, University of California<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Shaikh Amin 'Ala ad-Din an-Naqshbandi was the paramount Naqshbandi shaykh in Kurdistan and great-grandson of Mawlana Khalid, the founder-figure of the Khalidi-Naqshbandi Sufi lineage.
