"Read this book...as Rumi tells us to read: Feel the presence inside the language,
the healing and the compassion and the tremendous courtesy"

"I hope that many people read the warm, loving words of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
and understand that indeed the words islam and salam"—peace—belong
to the same root and that a true understanding of the inner dimensions of Islam
will help them to find peace for themselves..."
—Annemarie Schimmell, Professor of Indo-Muslim Culture, Harvard
University
"At a time when Islam is being identified so much in the West with war and
conflict, it is urgent that the message of this book be heard...for it relates
Islam to the peace and serenity which has always been at the heart of its message."
—Dr. Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Professor of Islamic Studies, George
Washington University
"...A rich work, full of incredible insights on the present state of the world."
