Guidance of a Sufi Master: New

 

 

 

Description :

 

A timely follow-up to the first-ever English biography of the great Naqshbandi master of Gulhar Sharif: Qibla Hadrat Sahib (may God sanctify his secret). “Sometimes people can live with a saint all their life but know nothing of his reality.” Hadrat Sahib was no exception; he continues to remain an enigma. Discover the untold tales which unearth the great wisdom and insight from a master who sought to impart guidance to his followers and the masses.

 

 

Guidance of a Sufi Master from Kashmir is a beautiful book about the teachings, guidance and anecdotes of a Naqshbandi sufi saint. The first part consists the shaykhs letters, composed mainly with a certain sombreness. The second part of the book contains advice to his devotees and the masses. The final part consists of anecdotes and the stories he taught. I should add a caveat that relates to this or indeed any book about our master; Hadrat sahib is an enigma and cannot be understood merely by the written word.
