About The Book
Lataif al-Minan is Ibn Ata Allah al-Sakandari's spiritual biography of the two foundational masters of the Shadhili order — Abu al-Hasan al-Shadhili (d. 656 AH) and his successor Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi (d. 686 AH), Ibn Ata Allah's own shaykh. Written by the order's third great master, the work is at once a record of the miracles (karamat) and sayings of the first two shaykhs, a defense of the Shadhili way against its detractors, and an exposition — through example — of the spiritual ideals al-Shadhili and al-Mursi embodied. For the historian of Sunni Sufism it remains the single most important contemporary source for the origins of the Shadhiliyya.
Ibn Ata Allah's prose is luminous and his portraits of his two shaykhs intimate; the work is read across the Shadhili world as a foundational reference and as a devotional companion.
About The Author
Imam Ahmad b. Muhammad Ibn Ata Allah al-Sakandari (658-709 AH / 1259-1309 CE) was the third great master of the Shadhili order after Abu al-Hasan al-Shadhili and Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi. A Maliki jurist who taught in al-Azhar, he gave the Shadhili teaching its first systematic written expression in his Hikam, his Lataif al-Minan, his Miftah al-Falah, and his Taj al-Arus.

About the Contributor(s)
About the author
Ibn Ata Allah al-Iskandari: Ibn ʿAtaʾ Allah al-Iskandari (c. 650–709 AH / c. 1252–1309 CE), in full Taj al-Din Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Karim, was an Egyptian jurist and Sufi master honored as the third great teacher of the Shadhili order. Born and raised in Alexandria during the Mamluk period, he was a Maliki in law and at first devoted himself wholly to the religious sciences, with little inclination toward the Sufi path. That changed when he became a disciple of Abu al-ʿAbbas al-Mursi, the close successor of the order's founder Abu al-Hasan al-Shadhili. Under al-Mursi he matured into a guide who united outward learning with inward realization, and he went on to teach at the al-Azhar mosque in Cairo. He died in 709 AH and was buried in the Qarafa cemetery beneath the Muqattam hills, where his tomb is still visited. His most famous work, Kitab al-Hikam (The Book of Wisdoms), is a collection of concise aphorisms on reliance upon God, sincerity, and the realities of the spiritual life; its beauty and depth have drawn many commentaries across the centuries. Among his other enduring works are Lataʾif al-Minan, a biography of al-Mursi and al-Shadhili; al-Tanwir fi Isqat al-Tadbir, on surrendering self-direction to God; and Miftah al-Falah, a manual of invocation (dhikr). He remains one of the most widely read voices of the Shadhili tradition.
