This is the first English translation of Al-Risalah, the famous compendium of Sufi knowledge and practice by Al-Qushayri (d.1072). One of the most widely read Sufi treatises, the Risalah defines classical Sufism through the use of quotations from the Qur'an, the Sunnah of the Prophet and references to examples of saints and ascetics. Al-Qushayri illustrates the principles of Sufism with tales and sayings of the first generation of Muslims and his contemporaries in 11th century.
