The Gardens of the Gnostics: Bustān al-'Ārifīn

The Garden of the Gnostics (Bustān al-‘Ārifīn) is Imam an-Nawawī’s work on taṣawwuf, drawing as is his wont on the Qur’ān, with careful choice of hadith, and the sayings of the first generations (salaf) and eminent later people.

Aisha Bewley is the translator of a large number of classical works of Islam and Sufism, often in collaboration with Abdalhaqq Bewley, notably The Noble Qur’an – a New Rendering of Its Meanings in English; Muhammad, Messenger of Allah – the translation of Qāḍī ‘Iyāḍ’s ash-Shifā’; the Muwaṭṭa’ of Imam Mālik ibn Anas; and Imam an-Nawawī’s Riyāḍ aṣ-Ṣāliḥīn.
