Sufism's Message of Faith and Hope
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The Station of No Station is a message of faith and hope from the teachings of Islamic Sufism. In a thoughtful and meditative manner, Henry Bayman shows how true Islam is distinguished from both paranoid and romantic fantasies, and how Sufism constitutes a body of knowledge that starts with accepted science and extends beyond it. Going through the book in a thoughtful manner makes for a wonderful devotional process.
The Pure Teachings Of Islam
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The Station Of No Station, in essence speaks from the very heart of Islam... The Pure Islam, which was practiced by the Prophet Muhammad himself. Henry Bayman, who has a profound understanding of Islamic Sufism, spent most of the last quarter of the twentieth century with the great grandfather of Islamic Sufism "Ahmet Kayhan". In this contemporary book of authentic wisdom, Mr.Bayman has in a sincere, direct and clear manner colourfully explained and presented those very Pure Teachings of Islamic Sufism. This book is without any doubt essential for anyone interested in spirituality, religion, mysticism and love... In the words of the great Sufi saint "Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi"... "I follow the religion of love: whatever way loves mounts take, that is my religion and my faith".
Sufism 201
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
As excellent as this book is, it is not an Introduction to Sufism. The reader must decide: Is it my heart I want touched, or my head? If it is the head, then the surveys by Chittick, Knysh, and Haeri are in order. If it is the heart, R. Frager's Heart, Soul, Self, is probably the best book out there.One might place Bayman after Frager, but Bayman is short on detail where Frager explains in great care. But in a word, Bayman begins to treat certain post-basics elements in more depth, but too often stops short. Moreover, Bayman's Sufism is firmly rooted in Islam; his Sufism is serious stuff, not the deracinated Universal Religion of New Agers.Bayman spends a good deal of space analyzing Nietzsche and where his failed Death of God and unrealizable Superman have led Western Civilization to the point of self anhilation. Sufism contains psychological elements derived hundreds of years ago that Western "Psychology" cannot grapple with, and hence Sufism offers a spiritual alternative to the malaise affecting Western - and now Globalized - Civilization.
