Islam was born out of the mystical revelations of the 7th century prophet Muhammad. At its heart, Islam is a profound spiritual path that teaches tolerance, love, respect, and plurality. The essence of Islamic wisdom has been kept alive by the great Muslim mystics known as Sufis. While fundamentalists interpret Muhammad's concept of the jihad, or 'struggle,' as a call to wage holy war against the infidels, the Sufis understand the jihad as an internal battle to overcome the ego and surrender to Allah. This book is a practical aid in making what Muhammad called 'the great jihad against the lower self,' by learning to transform our everyday lives into an adventure of spiritual awakening. The Islamic sages are calling us to join their caravan of love as it sets out across the desert of ignorance on the great pilgrimage to Allah. Are you ready?
