Kashf al-Mahjub (The Revelation of the Veiled)

Kashf al-Mahjub — The Revelation of the Veiled — is one of the oldest and most celebrated Persian treatises on Islamic Sufism, written by the revered mystic Ali b. 'Uthman al-Jullabi al-Hujwiri (Data Ganj Bakhsh).

This timeless classic offers a profound and systematic exposition of Sufi doctrine, practice, and the spiritual stations of the soul. Al-Hujwiri explores the inner dimensions of Islam — from the nature of knowledge and love to the states of the heart and the path of the mystic — drawing on the lives and teachings of the great Sufi masters who came before him.

A foundational text for anyone seeking to understand Islamic spirituality, Kashf al-Mahjub remains as relevant today as it was when first written in the 11th century. This Readings Classics edition makes this essential work accessible to modern readers.
