'Discourses' brings together four books into one volume: the Book of Tawhid, the Book of Hubb, the Book of 'Amal and the Book of Safar. Each of these represents a series of dicourses on its respective subject, delivered by the shaykh in Cape Town, South Africa, between 2004 and 2008. The Book of Tawhid: A series of nine discourses on the Divine Unity and the rst of four books that use ayats from the Qur'an and commentary on them to illustrate the themes with which they deal. Its preface states: \"It was only tting that we should begin the matter by extracting from the Qur'an itself the clear explications of Allah, glory be to Him, about Himself, that is, the knowledge of Tawhid.\" The Book of Hubb: The second in the series of four, The Book of Hubb, taking as its the starting-point of Allah's Words in the Qur'an, also draws on the works of Su s, such as Shaykh Nasirud-Din, the Chiraghi of Delhi, to delineate the Ten Stages of Love of the Divine. The Book of 'Amal: The Book of 'Amal activates the teachings of the rst and second books, Tawhid and Hubb. The topic is mu'amala, or behaviour. Shaykh Abdalqadir describes it as the foundation of the Deen, and, again drawing from the Qur'an, describes the essential nature of Nobility and Character over and above structuralism as the pivotal elements in the establishment of Islam. The Book of Safar: The last of the four books, The Book of Safar, examines the essential subject of travel, as it applies to the Path of Islam, in both its inward and outward meanings. | Discourses by Shaykh Abdalqadir As-sufi, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
