Description
About The Book
Haqaiq an al-Tasawwuf is Shaykh Abd al-Qadir Isa's celebrated twentieth-century defense and exposition of Sunni Sufism — one of the most influential contemporary works on the subject, addressed specifically to readers raised on the modern reformist critique of tasawwuf. The work systematically presents the foundational topics of Sunni Sufism (the tarbiya of the soul, the role of the shaykh, the practices of dhikr, the spiritual stations, the question of karamat, the relation of tasawwuf to Sharia and aqida) and answers the modern objections to each — anchoring every position in the Quran, the canonical hadith, and the explicit positions of the four imams and the broader classical scholarly consensus.
About The Author

His Haqaiq has been translated into multiple languages and remains one of the standard contemporary introductions to Sunni Sufism for readers approaching the tradition for the first time.

About the author
Abd al-Qadir Isa: Shaykh Abd al-Qadir Isa Diyab rahimahullah (1920-1991 CE / 1339-1412 AH) was a Syrian scholar from Aleppo and a Shadhili Sufi shaykh. He was among the foremost defenders of the traditional Sunni-Sufi heritage in twentieth-century Syria, working against the tide of reformist critiques that were gaining ground in his era. His magnum opus, Haqaiq an al-Tasawwuf (Realities of Sufism), addresses the core themes of Sunni Sufism - the discipline of the self, the role of the shaykh, the practice of dhikr, spiritual stations, the question of saintly miracles (karamat), and the relationship of Sufism to the Sharia and Islamic creed. The work responds systematically to modern objections to each topic, grounding every position in the Qur'an, sound hadith, the opinions of the four Imams, and the classical scholarly consensus. It has been translated into multiple languages and remains one of the most widely read contemporary introductions to Sunni Sufism. He also authored al-Mizan al-Adil li-Tamyiz al-Haqq min al-Batil.
