Description:

The Bektashi Sufi Order has long been recognized for its tolerant and broadminded interpretation of Islam. In his essay The Bektashi Pages, Naim Frashëri (1846-1900), a man often hailed as the father of modern Albanian literature, discusses the moral and ethical values of the faith of his youth. One of the more noteworthy features of the text is that it was written using a language and vocabulary that Westerners would find graspable. This current edition includes a brief survey of the doctrines of the Bektashi Order, an account of its place in Albanian history as well as an introduction to the text and its author. This book is an excellent introduction for anyone wishing to study the ethical worldview of one of Islam's most celebrated Sufi orders. (b&w illustrations)

Not only is this book a revolutionary resource to awaken Albanians of their importance in the past and present reformation of the Muslim world, but it provides a simple blueprint for Muslims and non-Muslims worldwide to achieve genuine peace and respect for one another. Serious students of the Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad (based in the Black communities of North America) will also find the history and doctrines contained within the book strikingly familiar. Bektashi Pages is a short and thoughtful book on a very important topic.
