Description
About Meetings with Mountains:
For nearly one half a century acclaimed British photographer Peter Sanders has traveled the earth to capture images of the saints of Islam. In the traditional world, these people of purity, knowledge and illumination have been the role models, benchmarks and exemplars of what it is to be human.
The goal of this spiritual tradition is nothing less than direct experience or ma’arifa (gnosis) of God’s presence. The fulfillment and embodiment of this tradition is the Friend or Intimate of God. This lengthy search has finally culminated in the publication entitled Meetings with Mountains, Encounters with the Saints and Sages of the Islamic World.

About the Contributor(s)
About the author
Peter Sanders: Peter Sanders began his career in the mid-1960s as one of London's leading photographers of rock musicians, producing iconic images of Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, and The Who. In 1970 he set off for India on a seven-month journey that became a spiritual odyssey, leading him to Morocco and then to the holy cities of Makka and Madina, where he photographed the Hajj at a time when few professional photographers had access to Islam's holiest sanctuaries. He was subsequently commissioned by the King of Morocco's Ministry to document all the important mosques, madrasas, and zawiyas of Morocco, a project for which he was given access to the whole country over a four-year period. This archive of images forms the basis for a series of books and exhibitions. He has exhibited his work around the world for decades and his fine art prints continue to be sought after. His photographic books, including 'In the Shade of the Tree' and 'Meetings With Mountains,' combine his artistic sensibility with an intimate engagement with the Islamic world.
