The Mystics of Islam

"The Mystics of Islam" by Reynold Alleyne Nicholson is an investigation into the world of Islamic mystics and their principles. The book provides an overview into the history behind Sūfism. Sūfism is defined as a quest for understanding God through spiritual awareness. Nicholson follows the path of Sūfism and the effect of old religious and philosophical ancestors. The transformation also marks a trip to the inner self-starting with regret and ending with love that is ultimately divine. He builds the narrative for a deeper look into the custom-made teachings that are revealed by Muslim mystics, and what they practice.
