About The Book

al-Risala al-Mukhtasara is the foundational concise treatise on the Sufi path by Imam Abu Abd Allah al-Kattani — one of the major figures of the Moroccan Maliki-Sufi tradition. The work compresses, into a single short epistle, the foundational themes of Sunni-Sufi tarbiya: the qualifications of the shaykh, the manners of the wayfarer, the structure of the path, the disciplines of dhikr, and the spiritual stations through which the believer ascends toward his Lord. Suitable for use as a starting text in spiritual training circles.

About The Author

The Kattani family is one of the most prominent learned houses of Morocco, with numerous masters across the centuries. The specific Abu Abd Allah al-Kattani who authored this treatise — and his precise lifespan — would benefit from confirmation through the publisher's edition. Possibilities within the Kattani lineage include Imam Muhammad b. Ja'far al-Kattani (1274-1345 AH / 1858-1927 CE), the great Moroccan Maliki hadith scholar and Sufi master.
