Faith is necessary for religions, but it ceases to be so for those who go further and who achieve self-realization in God. Then one no longer believes because one sees. There is no longer any need to believe when one sees the Truth. -Shaykh Ahmad al-'Alawi (1961, 33)
Lings' masterful command of the English language and his understanding of Sufi doctrine (see also his "What is Sufism?") makes this work an essential book to read for anyone who is interested in the study of Mystical Islam. The book provides biographical information about the 20th century mystic Ahmad al-'Alawi (d. 1934), translations of his poetry, and a survey of Sufi doctrine with regard to his teachings.
