The spiritual vocabulary of the Islamic tradition offers profound and enlightening concepts that do not easily lend themselves to English translation. Serving as both a translation guide and a glossary, this book clarifies more than 200 key spiritual, philosophical, and metaphysical Quranic & English terms, from ahl, Allah, and amanah to will, worship, and witnessing. Essays are included on topics such as existence, spiritual cognition, and levels of knowing.
