The Sufis mystic approach to Islam has created much controversy in Muslim theology. Their mysticism and intense concentration on spirituality has served as inspiration for some of the world's most beautiful poetry. These intricately wrought poems, most from between 900 and 1400 A.D., celebrate peace and harmony. Spirituality is a beautiful garden of mysticism when viewed through the eyes of the Sufi. Each poem, elegantly translated by the author, is clearly and fully explained in its historical, religious, political, and spiritual context. Written to propagate tranquility and harmony through a better understanding of an important mystic religion and its impact on literature, Garden of the Sufi is a lavishly thorough
exploration of Sufi poetry and philosophy.
