Breaking the Idols of Ignorance: Admonition of the Soi Disant Sufi

Mulla Sadra

4.9/5 (27092 ratings)

Description:Mulla Sadra's Kasr al-Asnaam, a book of four essays, is a masterpiece on two counts: the academic and the devotional. Sadra's status as a renowned philosopher and intense proponent of intellectual thought - as versus dogma - is very evident. At the same time, his book reflects divine devotion and can be used as a practical guide for spiritual elevation. The language is a little advanced since it involves rich philosophical verbage. However, there are frequent swaths of simple straightforward propositions and arguments. As for the context of the book, it is in regards to restraining unbridled mysticism; however, it is equally stern against both dogmatic scholars and extremist mystics - condemning both literalists and esotericists. Some of the major themes therein are: the concept of knowledge, spiritual knowledge, attributes of true spiritual travellers, and the importance of asceticism in bringing Man closer to God. The book is full of Quranic quotations, hadith references, important quotes from past Muslim intellectuals (such as Ghazali, Suhrawardi, Balkhi, Ibn 'Arabi) as well as others - even inclusive of a short powerful spiritual treatise by Pythogoras (the translators attribute it to Hermes). Notably in the last essay, several prophetic examples of asceticism and spirituality are cited.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
