Purification of the Mind (Jila’ Al-Khatir) – Third Edition
These are forty-five sermons by Shaikh ‘Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani, which he delivered at his school in Baghdad almost 900 years ago. The great Master addresses various spiritual diseases and their remedies and how to draw near to God.
Tawhid According to Sufis
A translation and commentary on beautiful and profound Sufi sayings on various aspects of tawhid. These words stress that Allah is beyond human cognition and perception. Sufis stress that true glorification of Allah requires acknowledging this limitation and accepting divine self-disclosure without excessive rationalisation.
Jesus the Muslim Prophet
This book contrasts the human Jesus of the Qur’an with the divine Jesus of Christian sources. It shows that the Qur’anic Jesus is the one that fits in history.
Fifteen Letters (Khamsata ‘Ashara Maktuban)
This book consists of fifteen letters by Shaikh ‘Abd Al-Qadir Al-Jilani. Articulated in a sublime mystical language, the letters describe spiritual experiences that are attained through striving against one’s base desires and committed devotion to Allah. They are written in a peculiar style whereby each sentence or group of sentences is followed by a related Qur’anic text, which is often a part of a verse.
The Mystery of the Crucifixion
This book has been replaced by a new book
A critical examination of the narrative of the crucifixion of Jesus in the New Testament, Christian writings, and early historical sources. The consistent and more credible alternative scenario of the Qur’an is explained.
