| Sufism:
An Inquiry
Since
1985, Sufism: An Inquiry has been a vessel for the
voices of the worldwide Sufi community. Each issue offers
a wide variety of contributors providing Sufi perspectives
from around the world, as well as incorporating articles
on the relationship between Sufism and such diverse subjects
as psychology, science, international humanitarian efforts,
interfaith dialogue, education, philosophy, and art.
 Edited
by two Sufi Masters, Shah
Nazar Seyyed Ali Kianfar, Ph. D. and Seyyedeh
Nahid Angha, Ph.D., Sufism: An Inquiry is a journal like no other, a resource for research in self-knowledge
beyond the limitations and barriers of labels, categories,
orthodoxies, that characterize religious and philosophical
doctrines. The subject of this journal is instead the human
being, the heart within the human being, and within the
heart of the human being, his or her relationship to the
existence, the creation, the Divine, Allah, God. Seeking
to cultivate a deeper direct experience of this relationship
and to increase our understanding of the scientific basis,
the psychological benefits, and the long tradition of knowledge
of this relationship between the heart of the individual
and the universe, Sufism, An Inquiry each issue offers a
unique opportunity for education, reflection, research and
meditation.
 The
scholars, Sufi practitioners, and teachers who contribute
to Sufism: An Inquiry represent the leading voices
from an unparalleled geographic and intellectual range,
such as, physicist, psychologists, artists, Sufi Masters,
medical doctors, and philosophers. Additionally, no other
journal provides such accurate translations of important
and centuries old Sufi texts, including poetry by the great
Sufi poets, such as Rumi and Hafez, as well as the meditations
and philosophical texts of masters. Sufi literature today
is receiving increased interest in America, but very few
indeed of the translators today have experience of the journey
and destination of Sufi practice and so often emphasize
literal meanings without being able to appreciate or preserve
the hidden meanings within the text that serve to confirm
and guide the Sufi practitioner in his or her striving and
experience of his or her path.
