Der Autor über sein Buch

EIM offers Islamic literary masterpieces in English
"The most intimate of secret thoughts enveloped and fixed along the horizon in folds of light" Hallaj

Rumi, Attar, and Ibn `Arabi are Sufis now well known and appreciated in English translation. But the earlier mystics of Islam, those who founded the tradition of Islamic mysticism, are hard and often impossible to find in good English translation.

For years I have wanted to make the brilliant world of early Islamic mysticism accessible to my friends and to the students in my courses on Islam, Islamic literature, Sufism, and Comparative Mysticism. But most of the texts were either untranslated or translated in old, archaic English.

This book offers the words of early Islamic mysticism, in their passion and tenderness, to the English language reader. Read and savor without worrying about going in linear fashion from page to page. Each translation is enclosed with comments that explain the language and history of the text and author. Early Islamic Mysticism is now being used throughout the country and in Europe as an anthology of the best of early Islamic mystical writings.

EIM begins with the most popular mystical passages from the Qur'an, the accounts of Muhammad's heavenly ascent (Miraj), and examples of the great early Arabic poems that were to become models for Sufi poetry.

The book then presents examples of early Sufi Qur'an interpretation, based on the mysticism of light, and accounts of the founders of Sufi mysticism and their sayings: Junayd, Rabia, Bistami, Tustari, and Hallaj.

Some of the most famous and important mystical passage from Sarraj, Sulami, and Qushayri are also represented. These are works that helped establish Sufism as one of the major mystical movements in human history.

The book ends with the dense and fiery aphorisms of Niffari and two lyrical poems attributed to Hallaj.

These passages can be read over with new meanings in each new reading. I have been reading them for twenty years and they never grow old. An example from the Qur'an:

"God is the light of the heavens and earth The light like the light of a lamp in a niche The lamp enclosed in a cover of glass The glass like a glistening star Kindled from the oil of a blessed tree An olive not of the East not of the West Its oil glows forth nearly without the touch of fire" Qur'an 24:35

5.0 von 5 Sternen Excellent selection of extracts from early Sufi texts, 5. November 1999
Von Ein Kunde
This volume, compiled and translated by Michael Sells, is really an excellent resource for those of us who are interested in early Sufism. Sells has compiled a very useful collection of extracts from early Sufi writings. I was surprised to know that writings of Junaid apparently even still exist (and this book includes some of those writings)!

A remarkable and very valuable book -- not only from a historical perspective, but also for those wanting to increase their own spirituality. (For this purpose, I also recommend W. C. Chittick's book, "The Sufi Path of Love," a collection of translations from Jalaluddin Rumi.)

3.0 von 5 Sternen Contradictions, 23. August 1999
Von Ein Kunde
After reading this book, I got interested and bought a few other books. I came across this statement from famous Ibn Ul-Arabi "If the believer understood the meaning of the saying 'the color of the water is the color of the receptacle', he would admit the validity of all beliefs and he would recognize God in every form and every object of faith." I thought if he relay meant this, then why bother writing so many books and trying to prove or disprove this or that belief. Ibn-Ularabi does this many times, he criticizes many of his fellow theologians, philosophers, even other sufi's. If he really thinks all are right, why then bother by criticism, trying to prove so many are under "illusions" except him and a few like him. Besides would Ibn-ulArabi tell us that "Satan worshipping" is also right? The second factor that is troubling to me is the authenticity and objectivity of their"theophonic experiences". If one examines the content of their "experience" it quickly become clear that what they "witness" is nothing more than the "content" of their beliefs. Whatever they already believed in, they "witness" it. Not a single one them, as far as I know, has claimed that he /she "witnessed" a reality which made him realize a certain portion of his/her beliefs about this or that was wrong. Their experiences seem to be in perfect harmony with the " content" of their already established beliefs. If they believed that there are spheres in the heaven, then that is what they "see", if they believed in certain historical "facts" they also see it. If they believe in say in crucification, as Padre Pio, they also "see" it( though it may or may not have really happened. If you are a Hindu mystic then you will " see" say, reincarnation and how it happens, if you are a Sufi or Christian mystic who doesn't believe in reincarnation then you "see" the opposite of the fellow Hindu, you "see" how "reincarnation" doesn't happen. So my guess is that, under certain condition and practices, all the beliefs of a person turns into "Images/forms" and like a dream, a person experiences them. But these experiences are no more"objective" and reflective of "reality" out there, than the good old dreams we have.

2.0 von 5 Sternen Sufism and Koran, 14. August 1999
Von Ein Kunde
The word Sufi is neither mentioned in the Quran nor in any Hadith of Prophet. It is most likely the result of interaction of Muslims with Persian/Indian culture along with, perhaps, Christian Monks. The so called Sufis, in integrating these foreign elements in Islam, looked for certain verses in the Quran and gave them a far fetched interpretation to fit their philosophy. This approach wasn't limited to Sufis ofcourse, the so called philosophers did the same thing trying to prove Greek cosmology and philosophical nonsense with verses of Quran. Nowadays that most of their arguments are proven to be false based on modern science, our Sufis and philosophers backtrack and tell us that the verses really didn't mean what they claimed( duh!). Sufi phenomena happened long after Islam came into contact with other (shirk) religions and there is not even a single proof among the saying of prophet or behavior of companions and early Muslim saints that suggests this kind of superstitious philosophy and "spirituality".
