Reviews

"A valuable contribution to the field . . . provides an insight into the various personal qualities and divine graces which are recognised in combination as a proof of sainthood . . . It is clearly and elegantly presented, accessible, and has the merit of combining metaphysical doctrine with devotional ethics as encapsulated in the life and work of one of the most endearingly popular Sufis of all time." —Journal of Islamic Studies"Tosun has done an admirable job in presenting not only a translation but a lucid interpretation of one of Jilani's most important works." —Gnosis
