Sayyida Fatima al-Yashrutiyya And Shaykh Ahmad al-Alawi

 

Selections translated from Shaykh Ahmad al-'Alawi's The Divine Graces and A Treatise on the Invocation provide the reader with a stunning interpretation of the inner meaning of prayer. A translation of Fatima al-Yashrutiyya's auto-biography introduces us most movingly to the life of a female Sufi raised by her father who was a great spiritual master in Palestine, and the life within this Shadhiliyya zawiya.
