The Sufis, a modern classic that has been translated into over two dozen languages, has attracted the praise of such famous authors as Robert Graves, Ted Hughes, J.D. Salinger, and Doris Lessing. Idries Shahs The Sufis is the most authoritative book about Sufism ever produced for a modern audience. This definitive work explores an immemorial wisdom tradition bestknown for its connections with Islam, but which both predates and goes beyond it.Sufis espouse a mystical teaching and way of life that have had an immeasurable, though littleknown, impact on East and West for thousands of years. Core to this practical philosophy is the cultivation of intuition and experience as a guide to liferather than overreliance upon logic and the intellect. Its members believe that theirs is the secret tradition behind all religious and philosophical systems.Shahs remarkable book includes accounts of the lives and work of the bestknown Sufi masters, encompassing many of the world's greatest thinkers, including the Eastern luminaries: Jalaluddin Rumi, Omar Khayyam, Ibn Arabi, AlGhazzali, Saadi Shirazi, and Farid AlDin Attar.Many of the greatest traditions, ideas and discoveries of the West are connected to the teachings and writings of Sufi savants working centuries ago. The astonishing impact of Sufism on the development of Western civilization, especially from the seventh century onwards, is traced through the work of Roger Bacon, St. John of the Cross, Raymond Lully, The Templars, Rosicrucians, Chaucer, Sir Richard Francis Burton, and others.But more than a history, The Sufis is a dynamic book of instruction for modern times, reflecting the idea that living Sufism is never a static artefact of the past, but adapts to the current time, place and people.
