The Path to Perfection: An Edited Anthology of the Spiritual Teachings of Hakim Al-Umma Mawlana Ashraf 'Ali Thanawi

Great intro to tasawwuf! Highly recommend. Covers a lot of misconceptions and provides proofs of common practices like the bay'ah etc. A lot of practical advice throughout.

This is an amazing book. It details the depths by which we find ourselves falling prey to the demands of our nafs (inner self). I would recommend this, rather it is necessary for everyone to read.

Mashaa'Allah beautifull book and outstanding writer

Good book to read and learn some concepts

This is an essential handbook for those really serious about tasawwuf. It is an accurate exposition of applied `Islamic mysticism' leading to the gnosis (marifah) of Allah, Most High. The details regarding the definition and method of acquisition of the various different stations (muqamat) in the seeker's voyage (sulook) are remarkable and very useful for daily life application. The description of the various stages of the spiritual journey, the need for a mentor, spiritual training and various modes of Divine remembrance are quite lucid. Quotes from previous sages are aptly used to convey the message and motivate the readers. The style and quality of presentation is superb. Overall, it is must reading for all into tasawwuf.

An excellent synopsis into how to successfully renew your iman and live as a believing Muslim should live. A very exciting eye opener on how to continually struggle to perfect your inner and outer character such that it conforms to that which prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) sunnah and to Allah (subuhanna Wataalah) religion. I pray that we all benefit from reading this excellent piece of hard work, Amin.
