Book Summary
Al-Hujwiri came from Ghazna, now in Afghanistan, then the capital of the mighty Ghaznavid Empire. He was a Sufi mystic who traveled widely in the Middle East and Transoxiana. The Kashf al-Mahjub was probably written in Lahore, where he is buried, not long before his death in about 1074. One of the oldest Sufi works in Persian, it is a substantial treatise aiming to set forth a complete system of Sufism. It is enlivened by episodes from the author's own experience.
