Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Like Rumi, Hafiz and Attar, al-Hujwiri was one of the great saints of Sufism. Revelation of the Mystery, or Kashf al-mahjub, has been revered by students of Sufism for nine centuries. This classic text contains biographies of the saints, including Fudayl, the brigand who became a great spiritual teacher; Ibrahim Adham, the prince who renounced everything when he received the divine call; and al-Hallaj, the great Sufi martyr. Al-Hujwiri also offers the spiritual seeker universal and timeless advice on many subjects, such as contemplation, generosity, spiritual courtesy, prayer, love and distinguishing false spirituality and false teachers from the real, a discernment just as important yesterday as then.

This book is more popularly known as "Kashful Mahjub", and sometimes has been titled in English as Unveiling of the veil (the literal translation of the title).
It is an excellent book on Sufism, and can be in fact said to be a Textbook for the spiritual wayfarer, or Sufi traveller.
It cuts across all boundaries and applies to all levels and orders of Sufism. Non-Sufis can also benefit from this book, as there are many gems of wisdom and spiritual insights to be gained.
This is one of many recent translations of the book, but if you can get the version translated by Wahid Bakhsh Rabbani, it is the best version I have read, since it comes with a commentary and explanation of the difficult passages of the book, and has been translated by a contemporary Sufi -- and is in my mind the easiest and most beautiful version in English.
