Reseña del editor:

This book is an invitation to a journey, an interior journey of discovery in quest of a lost treasure containing the most precious jewels of the creation. The map which shows the way is to be found in the message of God for mankind, a way which is also indicated by the internal compass in every heart. The journey begins with an inquiry into the nature of the spirit and its virtues and vices, and we are led to an understanding that man has the potential to be the representative of God on earth. In 14 chapeters the doctrinal foundations of Islamic spirituality are studied an an engaging and lively language. This books has been translated into Spanish, Kiswahili and Malay.
