Illuminated Prayer 12c Ctr (Hardcover)

According to tradition and Sufi mystics, The Prayer -- or Salat -- was first taught by the angels, who themselves practiced it in celestial adoration. The Prayer is God's gift to all humankind, and in this gorgeously illuminated volume, created by the authors of The Illuminated Rumi, its ancient rituals are marvelously accessible. The authors take us through the words, movements, and hidden meanings of The Prayer's different steps -- The Call, The Ablutions, The Prayer, and The Embrace. Faithful practice of The Prayer lends a sacred rhythm to each day and creates psychological peace and spiritual force.

"The Illuminated Prayer" draws its authority from the work of Jelaluddin Rumi, and from the wisdom teachings of the authors' beloved contemporary Sufi master Bawa Muhaiyaddeen.
