Description:

This work is a partial English translation of unique piece of Albanian Literature. It is a work comprised of the views and scholarship of a exceptional spiritual leader, Baba Rexheb, about his chosen path to God – the path of the 13th century Sufi mystic Hâjjî Bektâsh Walî of Khorasan. That path, the Bektashi Order, is unique in use of spiritual poetry written Turkish, Albanian, Arabic, and Persian. It is also exceptional in that amongst all the Sufi traditions the Bektashi stems out of the Shî’îte branch of Islam, although it has always existed in a largely Sunni atmosphere of Turkey and the Balkans. It is a tradition whose teachings have long spoken to the issues of women’s rights and universal education, centuries before the West took up such causes and whose spiritual approach transcends boundaries of language, culture, and time.
