Key to the Garden

An exposition of the subtle relationship between faith and spiritual illumination, which develops the Prophet's teaching that the inner life must pass through three stages: affirmation with the tongue, then the mind, and finally the heart.

Many choice examples of Yemeni sacred verse are cited along the way.

The Muslim Testimony of Faith, that there is no deity save God, is at once the essence and the highest principle of Islam.

This book is a demonstration, by one of the greatest living recipients of the Prophet's heritage of knowledge, of how the whole spectrum of Islamic thought and worship unfolds naturally from these few words.
