Description
In this enjoyable book, Dr. Youssef Ziedan takes us on a journey through the lush garden of Sufi poetry. He introduces fourteen Sufi poets who were not well-known names, such as Samnun al-Muhib, Abu Ali al-Rudhbari, Shihab al-Din al-Suhrawardi, Abu Madyan al-Ghauth, Rashid al-Din ibn Khalifa, Najm al-Din Kubra, Abu al-Hasan al-Shattari, Najm al-Din ibn Isra’il, and others.
In this context, he reveals their biographies and offers us a taste of some of their poetry, which carries a high spiritual value and astonishing human experiences that elevate the soul and transport it from the hustle and bustle of life to the tranquil shores of love, gratitude, and the search for the truth of existence. The author also concludes his valuable book with an extensive conclusion on Sufi poetry, tracing its most important themes and stages of development, both in Arabic and Persian, as well as the position of Sufi poetry in contemporary studies.
