In the Name of al-Alim, the Sole Knower, al-Wahhab, the Bestower of Gifts
Sufism is the soul of religion (or relationship between Creator and the creation), the quintessential spiritual wisdom that can be lived and it provides a map for seekers to recognize the Real and the Reality. Many say it is the esoteric dimension of Islam, which is true, but Sufism is more than that. It embodies both esoteric and exoteric of the Way of Divine Surrender, it provides both inner knowledge as well as outer, i.e., how to be in the world, participate in the society and at the same time transcend the material world for that which is Real.
In this page we strive to bring some of the best available Sufi works. We have no intention to gain commercially from this effort and our intention is only to make accessible the knowledge which is given to mankind so that it can be passed on to mankind. We hope and pray that this effort be accepted as His service.
If you are author / publisher of any of these book and feel improper that they be accessible to people with no cost, please contact us with a request to be removed from this site. We will comply with your request.
If you have stumbled here looking for Sufi Books /materials, browse the site., go into other pages We may have (more) treasures for you to be found under other categories – as kept for ease of organization. And also dont forget, the real knowledge is to be found in heart of true men, not in books. So look for such true men. May these works ignite that lamp of search for you. Peace and blessings be with you.
Note: We have placed the books alphabetically using their titles. Iqra!
