Sufi Books

Your portal to the world of Sufi writing, classical and contemporary. Welcome to the Sufi Book and Music Blog which will direct you to the Sufi Bookstore through links in each post. Step in and look around the many sections here that all relate to an aspect of Sufism. If you know of any books that are not here then you are welcome to write and let me know so I can add them. The idea of this site is to bring together in one place as many books on the subject of Sufism as possible so that it is easier for you to discover what is available without doing long searches. So take your time and browse as you would in any library or book store. As I speak of the books available in the store so it is also an opportunity to look at different aspects of the Sufi path and the many friends who have trodden this path in the past and in the present day.

Author: Yafiah Katherine

I walk the Sufi path and I write. That neatly explains the title of this blog. I have written a novel that takes you to places you must explore and then brings you back to ground with a mission to complete in just an hour. It is not SciFi or Fantasy, it is literary and real. I also write non-fiction with my focus on the One, the Seen, and the Unseen. This blog is my writing journal. You can follow my progress, read some of my work, and simply share in the life of a writer. You will also find information here on events, books, gatherings, all kinds of things that contribute to the well-being of the planet and the understanding of humankind as united in their destiny.

The Sufis of Afghanistan

This is a book worth reading about the struggle of Sufis in Afghanistan. The product description follows: “In the West, Islam has replaced Communism as the new bugbear, while Sufism, Islam’s mystical dimension, is often dismissed as the delusions of an irrational and backward people. Ken Lizzio corrects such misperceptions in this firsthand account of… Read More The Sufis of Afghanistan

The Metaphysics of Ibn ‘Arabi

“These penetrating metaphysical and spiritual teachings cross the divides of culture and time, providing unexpectedly modern insight.” This is a book I’ve just begun to read myself. So far I’m very impressed at Peter Coates highlighting of the relevance of Ibn ‘Arabi’s work to modern thought and the immense treasure of the master’s ontological and… Read More The Metaphysics of Ibn ‘Arabi

“Ibn ‘Arabi (1165-1240) was one of the great mystics of all time. Through the richness of his personal experience and the constructive power of his intellect, he made a unique contribution to Shi’ite Sufism.
