This revealing book draws together in a single vision those symbolic teachings and spiritual insights familiar to many Western readers today through the classical mystical poetry of Rumi, Hafez, and Attar. The historical context and language of this study are marked by the confluence of classical Islamic philosophy and spirituality, including Sufi thought, and their scriptural sources."--Jacket</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Soul</subfield><subfield code="x">Islam.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85125354</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Âme</subfield><subfield code="x">Islam.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">RELIGION</subfield><subfield code="x">Islam</subfield><subfield code="x">Theology.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Soul</subfield><subfield code="x">Islam</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Morris, James Winston,</subfield><subfield code="d">1949-</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJtRKtXwJkyvCrRFXCgtKd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81044628</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">Knowing the spirit (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCG3mjWW4FbYxM8jfdjKGHC</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Ilāhī, Nūr ʻAlī, 1895-</subfield><subfield code="s">Maʻrifat al-rūḥ.

Print version record. "Ostad Elahi's Knowing the Spirit provides a concise and remarkably illuminating philosophic account of our unique place in the universe: of the creative expressions of the divine Spirit throughout nature, and of the process of the soul's deepening perfection through all the challenges and lessons of our existence in this world and beyond. This revealing book draws together in a single vision those symbolic teachings and spiritual insights familiar to many Western readers today through the classical mystical poetry of Rumi, Hafez, and Attar. The historical context and language of this study are marked by the confluence of classical Islamic philosophy and spirituality, including Sufi thought, and their scriptural sources."--Jacket Soul Islam. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85125354 Âme Islam.
