Buy Essential Sufism by Frager, Robert, Fadiman, James online on desertcart.ae at best prices. ✓ Fast and free shipping ✓ free returns ✓ cash on delivery available on eligible purchase. Review: I love this book! It provides a very laid back and beautiful introduction to Islam, with its use of poetry, anecdotes and humour. Great for beginners to the subject. Each chapter also begins with a nice introduction - nothing too heavy. This book is to be digested slowly - one you would want to read in the comfort of your own bedroom on a gloomy, rainy day, with a warm cup of sweet tea in hand. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't hesitate to say that this book pretty much explains the essence of Islam. The only drawback is that I have some doubts over the authenticity of some of the information quoted in the text, but the message is what really matters anyway, so it didn't bother me that much. All in all, a FANTASTIC read. Now go click 'add to basket' :) Review: I’ll share with you my little secret… Anything with Huston Smith’s name on it you can’t go wrong with!

Great quotes & references to life, whether or not you are into Sufism. I personally am not and found this book wonderfully rich in wisdom and in love.

This book is a delightful introduction to the mystical aspects of Islam. It's compendium of short stories, sayings and anecdotes by the Prophet and other famous Sufis. Strongly recommended. I'd also suggest you to check out the Essential Rumi and the Essential Koran by HarperOne.
