Faith and Practice of Islam: Three Thirteenth-Century Sufi Texts (Suny Islam) - Hardcover
Three treatises explain clearly and succinctly the teachings of Ibn al' Arabi, and the Sufi perspective on Islamic belief and practice. The author is not unambiguously identified, but he certainly wrote in Persia, near Konya, during the time of al' Arabi and the other major Sufi teacher and poet, Jala al-Din Rumi. Paper edition (not seen), $19.95.
