Description

An Anthology on the Spiritual Teachings of Hakim al-Umma Mawlana Ashraf 'Ali Thanawi
by Shaykh Masihullah Khah
New Publication from White Thread Press

Shaykh Masīhullāh Khān, a renowned student of the eminent Mawlānā Ashraf 'Alī Thānawī, wrote Sharī'at and Tasawwuf to delineate for the succeeding generations of Muslims the numerous benefits of his teacher’s wisdom. The teachings gathered here are notes of admonition and encouragement written by a man who has walked the path to his Creator; and at their core, these teachings are sustenance for the ailing hearts and souls of our time.

White Thread Press has made this invaluable work available in elegant and moving prose, while remaining true to its traditional origins. The result, a profound awakening of the heart, is within the reach of all. Those new to the spiritual sciences will delight in the range and profundity of the psychological and spiritual disciplines of Islam, while those already on the Path will gain new insights and perspectives.

At a time when the discourse surrounding Islam is generally inauthentic and shallow, The Path to Perfection presents a long-awaited antidote. It goes beyond simply diagnosing the spiritual ailments that afflict us; it puts forward means of eradicating them, so that we as individuals, as communities, and as an Umma can reap the benefits of a spiritual way of life.
