In The Press
"Hasnain Waris has brought a lot of thought, scholarship, and heart
into this engrossing book on the path of the Sufi, which is love. In
simple and clear terms, the book gives us a comprehensive perspective
of the philosophy and practice of Sufism, at the heart of which is the
quest for the Beloved or supreme consciousness. Illustrating his
points with delightful Sufi stories and thought-provoking excerpts
from Rumi and other Sufi saints, while weaving in the scientific view,
the book leads us through the journey travelled by the Sufi to reach
the perfection he is in search of. In Sufi terms, the journey begins
with moving from nafs-e-ammara (the animal self) to nafs-e-kamila (the
perfect self). I enjoyed this intimate and informed book and have
locked away in my heart a few stories and insights the book gifted
me." — Suma Varughese, Founder-Facilitator of The Zen of
Good Writing Course and Former Editor of Life Positive and Society magazines
"In S for Sufi, Hasnain Waris has introduced the path of a Sufi in the simplest
possible way with the help of daily objects like fruits, Hindu,
Buddhist, and Bhakti chants, and even tales of Mulla Nasruddin. The
resultant book is a breezy memorable walk through the archways of Sufi
mysticism. Hasnain has conceived the book in the most interesting way
by introducing the fundamentals of Sufism without resorting to
any complex narration. The author's words have a voice, and the reader
will be able to hear him speak through the pages. A mesmerising and
outstanding book that interested readers must not miss." — Kallol Bhattacherjee, Author and Journalist
