Summary
Essential Sufism is a profound and poetic journey into the heart of Islamic mysticism, offering a treasury of spiritual wisdom drawn from the rich traditions of Sufi sages and poets. Compiled and edited by James Fadiman and Robert Frager—both respected scholars of comparative religion—this anthology introduces readers to the deeply experiential and transformative teachings of Sufism. Spanning centuries and continents, the collection includes works by Rumi, Hafiz, Attar, and other luminaries, presenting themes of divine love, self-surrender, inner purification, and unity with the Beloved. The editors provide thoughtful context and interpretation, making this an accessible entry point for spiritual seekers, scholars, or anyone intrigued by the mystical dimensions of Islam. With a foreword by Huston Smith, this edition adds further gravitas and insight. This Brodart-protected hardcover is a beautiful and durable edition worthy of any collection.
