This is the first complete translation and interpretation of the Path of Muhammad: A Book on Islamic Morals and Ethics (al-Tariqah al-Muhammadiyah), composed in the 16th century by the Sufi scholar Imam Birgivi, and still in use today as an Arabic text in many of the most important universities in the Islamic world. By invoking traditional sources, this work portrays the beauty and depth of the Prophet Muhammad’s character, providing an example for all Muslims to follow. And because these virtues are universal and pertain to all people, this book offers essential wisdom to all believers.

 

Also included in this book is The Last Will and Testament (Vasiyyetname) of Imam Birgivi, a summary of his life’s teachings.
