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.
