Muslim Saints and Mystics: Episodes from the Tadhkirah al-Awliya' of Farid al-Din 'Attar - Supplementary Version

Muslim Saints and Mystics presents episodes translated from Farid al-Din 'Attar's Tadhkirat al-Awliya (Memorial of the Saints), a foundational work of Persian Sufi literature.

'Attar gathers the lives, sayings, and spiritual struggles of early Muslim saints and mystics, from Hasan al-Basri and Rabia al-Adawiyya to later masters of the Sufi path. Written with reverence and literary craft, it has shaped how generations of readers understand sainthood, sincerity, and the inner dimensions of Islam. This supplementary volume extends the collection for readers already familiar with 'Attar's classic, making it a valuable addition for students of Sufism and Islamic spirituality.
