Can anyone suggest a good book on islamic spirituality? Besides the koran of course. I have read a little bit on sufism but I haven’t found one that really impressed me. I prefer it to be in english. Thanks…

All the non-hippies who haven't been tricked by the hindoos watch how the spiritualists respond to this question.

Dil-shikastah, what is spirituality?:D

I guess it depends on the person. What he/she thinks of what spirituality is... I'm not going to define spirtuality because we have our own interpretation of it. I just want to know what books on islam that people here consider spiritual and would like to recommend. I just want to read books that people have found to move them.

The philosophy of the teachings of Islam

It mainly deals with the following topics:

  • the physical, moral, and spiritual states of man;
  • what is the state of man after death?
  • the object of man’s life and the means of its attainment;
  • the operation of the practical ordinances of the Law in this life and the next, and (v) sources of Divine knowledge.
