This encyclopaedia aims to bring out the life and teachings of Islamic mystics, their mystical orders and terminology to create a genuine interest in readers in the field. It never aims at any confusion and contradiction. The mystical authors represented in this collection have found a little place in the Islamic literature. For the first time, readers have access within these two volumes to some of the best Sufis writers and philosopher of Islamic mysticism. There is a freshness and directness of style here that brings a thousand-year-old spiritual tradition to life for the contemporary reader. The editor and the publisher are to be congratulated for making available such a treasury of rich mystical orders, which can serve as the first collection illustrating the wide range of Islamic mysticism
