A Collection of Sufi Rules of Conduct (Jawāmiʿ Ādāb al-Ṣūfiyya), authored by one of the earliest masters of Sufism, is regarded as the first work dedicated to outlining the way of life and practices of the Sufis. It represents an early effort to demonstrate the harmony of Sufi beliefs and etiquette with the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ. This pioneering text is not only a landmark in the study of ethics and spirituality but also a concise record of Sufi thought up to the eleventh century. Its influence shaped the development of Sufism from that time onward.

The notion that all modern madrasahs are terrorist factories is a falsehood based on ignorance. This book reveals the daily routine of one well-known madrasah in India and so lifts the veil on that ignorance. It is an account that academics, journalists, pundits and all those concerned with current events and issues should read. It demonstrates that students in a traditional madrasah are given grounding in religious life without any weakening of intellectual breadth and refinement. Above all, the students learn to tolerate and accept different arguments and points of view and to appreciate different human temperament.Dr Muhammad Akram Al-Nadwi studied and taught Hadith and Fiqh at the prestigious Nadwat al-Ulama (India).

In this book, I seek to provide a guide to the wisdom we need to attain felicity in the two domains (the spiritual and the worldly). I have taken the middle path between brevity and lengthy disquisitions. I have struck a balance between the meticulousness of scholarly discourse and the emotional refinement of literature. Nothing in it, therefore, is either too difficult to be understood nor too subtle to be visualized. I have relied on the Book of God for the principles it provides and the exalted example of His Messenger. I have then used the sayings of the sages, the aphorisms of the masters of rhetoric and the sayings of poets because the human spirit finds comfort in variety and is easily bored with monotony.
