Physicians of the Heart: A Sufi View of the 99 Names of Allah

Product Description

This book takes the reader into the heart of the mystery of the 99 sacred Names of Allah. It is a vehicle for understanding the infinite nature of God, and for discovering the divine potential in every soul.

In the process of this voyage to discovery, the reader is systematically exposed to the universal mysticism encoded in the Qur'an and in the classical Sufi traditions, as well as to a modern psychological approach that works with the 99 Names to achieve individuation and wholeness.

Review

The Ninety-Name names of God are a spiritual treasure. The four authors of this book have accomplished a noble collaboration and put this treasure within our reach. The meanings to be discovered in these pages can potentially open us to a marvelous universe of Divine Beauty, and through these gems, traditionally called "The Most Beautiful Names," we may ourselves ultimately be beautified. Rich in linguistic knowledge and personal reflection, this book helps to make this subject applicable and real.
