Published by Zavia Foundation, Lahore.


Description :

Extract from the Foreword : It is often asked : ''What is the Role of Sufi's in Society today? What do they do after all ?'' This book which is actually a collection of articles provides answers to these questions. It is important because it evidently shows that Sufis and their Masters (the mashaykh), also called 'spiritual preceptors' and men of the Path, comprise a class of men who have sincerely and selflessly followed the Prophet's, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, Sunnah (tradition) to guide their disciples for attaining the stage of self-realisation through character building and working with deep God-consciousness (taqwa).


This book is unique because a successful attempt has been made to bring to light the historic role of the Sufi's to change and sometimes make history just in the capacity of being models of good actions, exemplars and advisors and most of all, teachers._{---Dr. Zahoor Ahmad}.
