Description :
"Spiritual Ethics for the Mureed" is the first English translation of the persian (farsi) text Adaab as-Salikeen, which was written by the gnostic of his time; Shaykh Ale Ahmed Ach'che miya al-Qadiri al-Barkati, rahmatullahi ta'ala 'alayhi.
Adaab as-Salikeen was first translated into Urdu in 1935 and published by Taj al-Ulama Allama Sayyid Awlad-e-Rasul Muhammad miya Qadiri al-Barkati. Taj al-Ulama was a venerable shaykh and a reputable scholar, however his work was scholarly and not suitable for the general public hence the need to simplify it so as to benefit a wider audience. This task was undertaken by Professor Dr. Sayyid Muhammad Amin miya al-Husaini Barkati (MA, PhD), a retired lecturer of Urdu language at the famous Aligarh Muslim University in UP. India. Sayyid Amin miya was also the Sajjadah Nasheen of the noble Barkati Khanqah at Marehrah Sharif.
