Upanishads and Islamic Mysticism |
$21.99 $16.49 |

The two separate traditions of spirituality ultimately merge together in fena or realization of the self. The book deciphers the theme in the chapters that follow.

The Caliphate (2 vols.) |
$67.00 $50.25 |
|
| A Caliph is the spiritual head and temporal ruler of the Islamic state. In principle, Islam is theocratic: when Muhammad the Prophet died, a caliph (successor) was chosen to rule in his place. The caliph had temporal and spiritual authority but was not permitted prophetic power; this was reserved for Muhammad. The caliph could not, therefore, exercise authority in matters of religious doctrine.
About the Book
The Caliphate, is based upon the Annals of Ibn-al-Athir, a singularly impartial... |
