-- From a review in the online journal Living TraditionNicholson's Mystics of Islam was the first book in the West to offer a lucid sympathetic picture of Islamic mysticism.

Brilliant ! Ognyan Vassilev This book is a must for anyone interested in spiritual tradition. It shows that Islam Suffis have come to conclusions similar to those in famous Taoist Yoga and in the Kabbalah. Please read the book more than once - it deserves it !. "Good" according to Kambiz Borhon. Fast shippingGood experience
