Description

THE title of this book sufficiently xplains why it is included in a Series 'exemplifying the adventures and labours of individual seekers or groups of seekers in quest of reality.'Sufism,the religious philosophy of Islam,is described in the oldest extant definition as 'the apprehension of divine realities,'and Mohammedan mystics are fond of calling themselves Ahl al-Haqq ,'the followers of the Real.'{Al-Haqq is th term generally used by Sufis when they refer to God.}In attempting to set forth their central doctrines from this point of view, I shall draw to some xtent on materials which I have collected during the last twenty y ars for a general history of Islamic mysticism--a subject so vast and many-sided that several large volumes would be required to do it anything like justice.
