Rare glimpses of two 20thcentury Sufi saints are offered in this work: the eminent Shaykh alAlawi and the lesserknown woman saint Fatima alYashrutiyya, both of whom continued on the Sufi path even as they watched their world crumble. Shaykh alAlawi's influence was pivotal to the spiritual development of Thomas Merton, who looked to alAlawi's writings and teachings in his own practice. Fatima alYashrutiyya is a rare example of a literate Muslim woman living a public spiritual life. Readers will see a new side of the Sufi Path from her uncompromising viewpoint, and can catch an uncommon glimpse of life in the early 20th century for a spiritual seeker, writer, and selfeducated woman in the Muslim world. These essays represent Islam in its esoteric dimension and raise issues of regional unrest and colonial intervention that are still relevant. Through the words of these two saints the world of the Sufi brotherhood is opened, revealing an underlying theme of the oneness of Allah.
