The Book of Wisdoms (Kitab al-Hikam)

By Ibn Ata' Allah

Muslim religious life consists not only of belief in orthodox tenets of faith and a determined effort to follow the Sacred Law, but it also requires one to scale the heights of Islamic spirituality – by attaining the states of the heart demanded by the Islamic revelation. The Kitab al-Hikam of Shaykh Ibn Ata'illah al-Iskandari (d. 1309) is a famous and respected explanation of the journey of Islamic spirituality (known simply as 'the Path' or 'the Way'), with the Qur'an and the Sunna as the determiners of the principles contained therein. Although the work contains treatises and supplications, the essential core of the work is to be found in the author's collection of spiritual aphorisms (264 in total). These aphorisms are presented in this edition according to the arrangement of the great Indian scholar Shaykh Ali al-Muttaqi (d. 1567), together with a commentary by a twentieth-century sage, Shaykh Abdullah Gangohi.
