The Inner Meanings of Worship in Islam

In this collection of teachings on the inner meanings of worship in Islam, Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri brings together the most profound guidance for those who journey along this path from the Qur'an, the Prophet's traditions, narrations from the Ahl al-Bayt, and seminal works from the Ahl al-Tasawwuf of all schools. The essential elements of belief and practice are presented according to three levels of meaning: Shari`ah(the revealed law), tariqah (the path of discipline) and haqiqah (the transcendent truth), following the timeless habit of the Prophet (S) of combining the outer practice with the inner meaning.
