The mystical branch of Islam known as "Sufism" speaks to truth seekers and their journey to reconnect with the divinity that lives inside everyone. To know God and live in harmony with his teachings is to transcend the human state and shine a bright light in the darkness.
Learning to communicate with God is one of the most important foundational tools we can possess-a tool author Dr. Ahmad Javid Sarwari Qaderi teaches readers in his new book, Sufi Prayer and Love.
Prayer, divine love, and spiritual virtues are the three building blocks necessary to have an open, effective, and fulfilling relationship with God. Whether you are at the beginning of your quest or are in a more advanced place, the lessons taught here are meant to inspire and light the fire of divine love in the body, mind, and spirit of every journeyman.
Love is truly God's most precious and extraordinary secret, and it is available to all who seek, practice, and live it. Readers who are looking to come out of the darkness will find the light of love and guidance here.
