Rodriguez, le 10 nov. 2012 (Sur Amazon) 5/5 Cet ouvrage se propose de présenter par une biographie courte (mais suffisante) du maître spirituel Ahmad Alawi (que Dieu l'agrée), tout en présentant son oeuvre tout au long de l'ouvrage (par des anecdotes, des citations, des commentaires, des documents historiques, etc.). Excepté quelques coquilles dans le texte, et une confusion (mauvais choix de traduction) entre mysticisme et ésotérisme, ce livre est un véritable joyaux. La spiritualité y est omniprésente, une analyse sur les preuves islamiques qui montrent l'importance du soufisme et son caractère orthodoxe, constituant l'essentiel même de l'islam, sa dimension intérieure. Ce livre, comme les autres du même auteur et ceux du même maître spirituel, est excellent et constitue une admirable introduction en la matière (pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas encore très bien le soufisme, les tariqa ou certaines figures spirituelles de l'islam au sein du monde moderne)… ; (en ligne), URL : https://www.amazon.fr/review/R1R0E448UORT15/ sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
'Almost a prerequisite for any serious study of Sufism in European languages': this was the verdict of Seyyed Hossein Nasr in his review of the first edition of the book. According to the Journal of Near Eastern Studies, it is 'one of the most thorough and intimately engaging books on Sufism to be produced by a Western scholar'. Certainly there is nothing second-hand about it. The author lets Sufis speak for themselves and, in a series of unusual and absorbing texts mainly translated from Arabic, he gives a vivid picture of life in a North African Sufi order. Against this background stands the unforgettable figure of the Algerian Shaikh who was head of the order from 1909 until his death in 1934. The last few chapters are mainly devoted to his writings, which include some penetrating aphorisms, and which end with a small anthology of his remarkable mystic poems.
