Book Description
Sheikh Muzaffer's works demonstrate that integral Islam is very much alive. Adornment of Hearts is a detailed handbook for practitioners of Sufism. Anyone interested in Sufism on any level will find it useful. Serious seekers from all traditions will find many examples of Islam's intimate kinship with their own paths. Scholar's will find an excellent and authoritative contemporary expression of teachings that are often relegated to dusty manuscripts.
About the Author
Sheikh Muzzafer Ozak, who passed from the world in 1985, was born in Istanbul in 1916 into a Sufi family. He was educated by a succession of wise and learned teachers who instructed him in both traditional Islam and Sufism. He became Imam at a number of mosques, then left to run his bookshop in the famous Istanbul book market, which specialized in rare and antique books. He also became a prolific author in the Turkish language. For twenty years he was Sheikh (or spiritual teacher) of the Sufi order known as the Halveti Jerrahis. Extensive travels took him, not only throughout the Middle East but also to the Balkan countries, Western Europe and the United States where he founded a number of branches of the Halveti Jerrahi Order.

A very condenced English version, Feb 15 2008
By Gogol - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Adornment of Hearts (Paperback)
This is a very condensed version of a Turkish book that has been translated largely for the benefit of followers of the Jerrahi Halveti Sufi order. The book covers the typical topics found in Sufi manuals but is rather too short in content.Of interest to those who may follow the Jerrahi order but to the outsider, probably if little more than curious interest.
