101 Diamonds From the Oral Tradition Of the Glorious Messenger Muhammad.
This exquisite collection of hadith (sayings of Muhammad), entitled "The Niche of Lights" in Arabic, was composed by Ibn al-Arabi and the translated by Lex Hixon and Fariha al-Jerrahi.
This
book is a treasury of the wisdom of Sufism, which is the path of
transmutation and self-realization, opened by the Prophet Muhammad, may
Divine peace be upon him, over 1400 years ago. Through merging into
Love, the Sufi disappears from self and reappears as Divine Love alone.These
101 diamonds of wisdom (hadith), collected by the great mystic and
knower Ibn al 'Arabi in the 13th century, are direct inspirations into
the heart of the Prophet from the Source of Love and Wisdom. They take
the reader on a spiritual journey to ever-deepening levels of intimate
knowing, which culminate in the radiance of Paradise, surrounded by
companions of Love.
This
modern version of Ibn al 'Arabi's collection of oral traditions is a
contemplative expansion by a contemporary Sufi teacher, Lex Hixon (Nur
al-Jerrahi) and his disciple, Fariha al-Jerrahi. In fresh, poetic
language, and with their own mystical passion, they bring these sacred
diamonds of the Islamic tradition to the modern seeker on the spiritual
path to enlightenment.
