"I like this book...it is the few books that I recommend to know all aspect about sufisme.Very comprehensive and clear. I interest about sufisme after read this book."
"Writing about the mystical realm is no easy undertaking. Schimmel's book has the sensitivity and depth that come only from an inner personal journey as well as profound academic training. For years, she was the Chair of the Indo-Muslim Studies Department at Harvard. and her superb scholarship, combined with her direct experience of Sufism in Turkey, produced the one of best, most comprehensive studies of Sufism in English."
"Recently I re-read this amazing book along with my students. Those with an attunement and appreciation of Sufism and mystical traditions at large, find this to be a masterful and insightful exploration of the poetical nuances and sacred history of Sufism. Annemarie Schimmel loved Sufism and her respect, love, and magical wonder are only surpassed by her outstanding scholarship. In this magnum opus she guides us through the history, the steps of stations and stages on the spiritual path and into the garden where the rose and the nightingale create the poetic power that flowers in Sufism. What we miss is the social and political dimension of Sufism's unfolding. But for those seeking the ideals and the beauty, this is one of the best first stations for those who would enter the journey of understanding and appreciating Sufism. This is a garden whose flowers are fragrant and whose paths are strewn with jewels."
