Inner Dimensions of Islamic Worship
This book, a translated work, describes the five pillars of Islam, and best practices for attainment of faith through the practical aspects of worship based on the five pillars of Islam. It isn’t overly complex, and some readers would probably finish cover-to-cover in a single sitting. Great as a reference or teaching book.
The Knowing Heart: A Sufi Path of Transformation
This book is written by an established translator of Rumi’s works, and is a good book for understanding more about Sufism and the psychology of Sufism, Islamic spirituality, and important aspects of the Sufi life. Rather personal and full of insights from the Quran and the writing of Rumi, this book is great for beginners who wish an introduction to Sufism.
The Exploits of the Incomparable Mulla Nasrudin
A story of the Mulla Nasrudin:
The Town Gossip: “Nasrudin, I just saw some men delivering a huge tub of stew.”
Nasrudin: “What’s it to me?”
The Town Gossip: “They were taking it to your house.”
Nasrudin: “What’s it to you?”
Read about the exploits and wisdom of the Mulla Nasrudin, reknown Sufi philosopher of the Seljuk era. Great as anecdotes and for teaching.
The Poems of Hafez
The 14th-Century Persian poet Hafiz has had his works translated and enjoyed for centuries. This translation, written by a native Iranian, reads very well in English, and is less literal than other translations available. Though only collecting half of Hafiz complete translated works, this book is still an astounding read and is not for the average reader. As with all poetry, metaphors and imagery are abundant in Hafiz poems, and many references that are undoubtedly Persian pepper the book.
