Son of Karbala
Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri
In this
autobiography the atmosphere of an Iraq in transition is brought
to life with all its sights, sounds and political realities. But
the author’s personal concern and quest has always been
spiritual rather than political, so the national and cultural
upheavals are used as a backdrop for his own journey of self
discovery and search for truth. An acknowledged Master of
several Sufi orders, his main aim now is to make accessible to
younger generations the original Islamic transactional way of
life (Deen of Islam), through the discovery of the roots
and foundation of the Divine message which transcend political,
national and even religious realities.
For anyone
interested in the events that created modern Iraq, in how
Muslims view their own history and in how the message of Islam
meets both individual needs and that of the world today, this is
a timely and thought-provoking book.
