About

Approximately a thousand years ago, the Sufi saint Hazrat al-Hujwiri (also known as Hazrat Dada Ganj Baksh) stated in his Kashf al-Mahjub -- and he, actually, was quoting someone from a still earlier time -- "Once Sufism was a reality without a name, and now it is a name without a reality." The problem has gotten worse since that time.

One of the primary purposes of this website is to serve as a virtual library (including written, audio, and video selections) that is intended to provide authentic information on, and insight into, numerous dimensions of the Sufi (tasawwuf) Path, in particular, and Islam, in general. There is nothing in any of the writings or audio and video presentations which appear on this website which run contrary to the 'Principle of No' that was outlined in the opening paragraphs of the home page of this web site. This is also true of the more than thirty-nine publications (covering over 14,000 pages of material) that are available through Bilquees Press. I invite you to test the truth of the foregoing claim for yourself either in relation to the material contained in this website or in any of my real world or virtual world publications. The 'Principle of No' is at the very heart of Islam and the Sufi Path. Until an individual says no to all the myriad delusional modes of perpetrating violence against others and oneself, one will not be in a position to recognize, understand, and acquiesce to the truth of reality's nature ... including one's own potential for serving as a locus of manifestation in relation to reflecting, according to one's capacity and Divine Grace, certain dimensions of the truth concerning the nature of reality.
