Muslims of every age have been drawn to the simple, aphoristic nature of The Book of Wisdom and have learned its practical poetry by heart. This Arabic work is in three parts-the maxims, the treatises and the intimate conversations.
Victor Danner's new translation maintains the timeless quality of this work as an ever-fresh affirmation of the life in the spirit.
Kwaja Abdullah Ansari, Intimate Conversations
translation, introduction and notes by Wheeler M. Thackston.
"O God , if the night of separations is dark, we still rejoice, for
the morning of union is nigh... O God, what grace is this that
you have bestowed on your friends? Whoever recognizes you
finds them and whoever finds you recognizes them."
Kwaja Abdullah Ansari, 1006-1089
One of the major early writers of Persian mystical literature, Ansari is best loved for this collection of simple flowing sentences long used as a devotional handbook.
In these very human dialogues with God, Ansari speaks of a love and longing for his Creator as well as the frustration at his own human frailty.
