نبذة الناشر:This book has the dual purpose of introducing the reader to the Tawhid (Druze) faith, specially in its mystical Islamic dimension, and orienting the members of the faith themselves into the true nature of Tawhid beliefs.
This is achieved through a methodology marked by truthfulness, clarity, depth, breadth of vision and ...simplicity and eloquence of expression.
In this book, professor Sami Makarem deals with mystic concepts according to the Tawhid (Druze) faith based on the Holy Qur’an, the Prophet’s Traditions, the teachings of the Muwahidin saints, and the saying of the great Sufis.
As such the book may be viewed as a vehicle of communication and understanding between various religious orientations.
In this respect it opens the door to a pure spiritual atmosphere full of divine love which is the ultimate goal of Tawhid.
