I've skipped/skimmed the Prolegomenon, and went straight into the Fahrasa! - An enjoyable read; and between the pages, interspersed within the lines, throughout this autobiographical account are some rare gems of insight and guiding pearls; for the wayfarer lies herein golden nuggets of timeless advice. The Fahrasa will be so many things, to so many different people. For some unfortunate souls 'mere ramblings', for others an interesting account of a Sufi aspirant and later Shaykh. For yet others, an insight into Maghrebi Sufism through one of its greatest exponents. And, yet for some, an account, a life, to which they can relate in some strange and ethereal manner - a life that brings together so much of the mundane, religious and sublime. Some will see the humanity, and some will peer deep and feel the sprit. The Fahrasa presents at once the everyday with the divine all at once. Really, It's all in the vision of the beholder - what will you see?
