A Glossary of Sufi Technical Terms by Abdul Razzaq Kashani

Sufism, the mystical dimension of Islam, seeks a direct and experiential connection with the Divine through spiritual purification, love, and devotion. Rooted in the teachings of the Qur’an and the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad, Sufism emphasizes inner transformation, self-discipline, and the remembrance of God (dhikr). Classic works in this category explore the lives and teachings of great Sufi masters, the significance of mystical practices, and the path to enlightenment. Books like A Glossary of Sufi Technical Terms by Abdul Razzaq Kashani provide insights into the rich vocabulary and symbolism of Sufi thought, helping readers understand its deeper meanings. Mystical literature in Islam is deeply poetic and allegorical, reflecting the soul’s journey toward divine union. Texts such as Ganj Haye Manavi by Reza Jahed capture the essence of Sufi spirituality through profound narratives and reflections. These works often blend philosophy, theology, and poetry, offering timeless wisdom that transcends cultural and religious boundaries. Whether through the writings of Rumi, Ibn Arabi, or other spiritual luminaries, Sufi literature continues to inspire seekers of truth with its message of love, unity, and divine beauty.
