Sökarens Handbok
Lov och pris tillkommer Gud som, när Han vill, tänder en brinnande vilja i sökarens hjärta som driver honom mot lycksalighetens väg; en väg kantad av tro och gärningar och befriad från innehållslösa riter och vanor. Med dessa välsignade ord inleder Imam Abdallah ibn Alawi al-Haddad sökarens handbok. En bok som med tydliga och lättillgängliga formuleringar beskriver vägen, sökaren och den andlige ledaren, och tillhandahåller en måttstock med vars hjälp läsaren kan skilja det som är sant från det som är falskt. Imamens ord träffar än idag hjärtan med en förunderlig kraft, och många människor från olika platser och med olika bakgrund vittnar om att den här boken har haft en avgörande betydelse för dem på vägen till Gud.
