The Inner Meanings of
Worship in Islam
A Personal Selection of Guidance For the Wayfarer
Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri
In this collection
of teachings on the inner meanings of worship in Islam, Shaykh
Fadhlalla Haeri brings together the most profound guidance for
those who journey along this path -- from the Qur`an, the
Prophet's traditions, narrations from the Ahl al-Bayt, and
seminal works from among the Ahl al-Tasawwuf of all schools. The
essential elements of belief and practice are presented
according to three levels of meaning: shari'ah (the
revealed law), tariqah (the path of discipline) and
haqiqah (the transcendent truth), following the timeless
habit of the Prophet (S) of combining the outer practice with
the inner meaning.
The Inner
Meanings of Worship in Islam will inspire the serious seeker
of enlightenment to progress along the path, to purify
themselves, their intentions, and their expectations at all
stages of the journey. Ultimately all aspects and practices of
the shari'ah impact upon the process of grooming and
refining the character of the practitioner.
By sharing these
most transformative teachings from the world of Islam, the
author hopes to make available the spiritual nourishment that
has sustained and propelled him personally in his own quest for
sublime knowledge and true freedom.
