Sufism is the poetry and mysticism of Islam. This mystical movement from the early ninth century rejects worship motivated by the desire for heavenly reward or the fear of punishment, insisting rather on the love of God as the only valid form of adoration. Sufism has made significant contributions to Islamic civilization in music and philosophy, dance and literature. The Sufi poet Rumi is the bestselling poet in America. But in recent centuries Sufism has been a target for some extremist Islamic movements as well as many modernists. The Garden of Truth presents the beliefs and vision of the mystical heart of Islam, along with a history of Sufi saints and schools of thought. In a world threatened by religious wars, depleting natural resources, a crumbling ecosystem, and alienation and isolation, what has happened to our humanity? Who are we and what are we doing here? The Sufi path offers a journey toward truth, to a knowledge that transcends our mundane concerns, selfish desires, and fears. In Sufism we find a wisdom that brings peace and a relationship with God that nurtures the best in us and in others. Noted scholar Seyyed Hossein Nasr helps you learn the secret wisdom tradition of Islam and enter what the ancient mystics call the "garden of truth." Here, liberate your mind, experience peace, discover your purpose, fall in love with the Divine, and find your true, best self. Review: Compassionate and Gracious Sufi Instruction - Seyyed Hossein Nasr has written a compassionate and grace filled instruction of the ladder into the Sufi-Heart, the People of the Heart & the "Heart of Islam" I am particularity grateful that this manual of the Sufi-life, the Sufi-way, the Sufi-Path is written not as a western manual of the topic but written in the thought forms and patterns of the original Sufi tomes on "the path" Seyyed Hossein Nasr is as in all his many, many books a man of keen, sharp mind that is a light of knowledge and a heart that is the light of peace. He is the gracious & humble servant of Truth. Some western readers might find his unflinching servitude to Sufi as only an Islamic rite as eye opening. He has given a great insight(as he always strives) into the true nature of Islamic philosophy. And the Islamic thought and heart processes different then those of the Western world but respectable as not only a compassionate way of life but respectable as a deep and complex philosophy. We in the western world have just begun to dip our toes into the vast seas of Islamic philosophies and reawaken to what it means to be a human being. If you are interested in the peaceful and compassionate philosophy of Islam I can not think of a better book to recommend.

Peace be with you- ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So Good! *by C***R on October 31, 2025* But take small bites and chew well ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best book on Sufism *by R***D on November 15, 2011* There are various books on Sufism, but I liked this one the best so far. I tried Martin Lings ,Gai Eaton, Adbul Qadir Gilani and some works of Imam Ghazali but found that, although they are good, make a gray subject grayer.. Sufism is esoteric for sure ( it can be confusing and perhaps misleading if you don't have a proper background ) but this book is a great lucid introduction to it. I really liked for e.g. how Nasr talks about the topic of Love. For that alone the book is worth reading. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Garden of Truth: The Vision and Promise of Sufism, Islam's Mystical Tradition - Essential Sufism - The Principles of Sufism (Library of Arabic Literature, 4) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/7523466-the-garden-of-truth-the-vision-and-promise-of-sufism](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/7523466-the-garden-of-truth-the-vision-and-promise-of-sufism) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
