Awarif al-Ma'arif (2 Volume Set) عوارف المعارف (Dar al-Taqwa)

Awarif al-Ma’arif (The Gifts of Deep Knowledge ) is universally recognized as one of the most influential, foundational, and enduring manuals of Tasawwuf (spiritual purification) in the Sunni Islamic tradition.

Written by the great master of Baghdad, Shaykh Shihab al-Din 'Umar al-Suhrawardi, the nephew of Abu al-Najib al-Suhrawardi and pioneer of the Suhrawardiyya spiritual order, this work bridges the sciences of the outer law (Shari’ah) and the inner reality (Haqiqah). It was historically adopted across the Muslim world, from the Levant to the Indian subcontinent, as a standard textbook for spiritual disciples (murids) and masters (shuyukh) alike. 

Features of this Premium Dar al-Taqwa Edition

The editor, Bilal al-Saqa, has painstakingly restored the text to its most accurate form. His work includes:

Manuscript Comparison: Comparing ten historical manuscript copies of Awarif al-Ma’arif to correct typographical, grammatical, and structural errors found in older prints.

Hadith Verification (Takhrij): Tracing and documenting the numerous prophetic traditions cited by Al-Suhrawardi, referencing them to primary Hadith collections (such as the Kutub al-Sittah), and providing scholarly gradings.

Linguistic Clarification: Dr. Muhammad Yasir al-Qadmani provided explanatory footnotes for archaic, highly technical, or rare spiritual and linguistic terms used by classical masters. He also wrote its foreword.

This edition is highly recommended for:

Students and scholars of Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh), theology (Aqidah), and spirituality (Tasawwuf).

Academic researchers looking for a verified, critically-edited text of Suhrawardi’s masterpiece.

Seekers of self-purification (Tazkiyat al-Nafs) who wish to study a structured, orthodox manual of Islamic spiritual ethics.
