Appreciation
This book, “Guru Mani”, translated “The Pearl of Wisdom”, whose author is no less a person than His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Rad), a great Sufi Sheikh, who passed away in Philadelphia, USA, at the call of His Creator, has now been translated into English by Mr. M. S. A. Cader for the benefit of all English-speaking readers. The book “The Pearl of Wisdom” is an inexhaustible fountain of wisdom presented in a form that any ordinary reader will understand.
Mr. Cader has done a magnificent job in undertaking this valuable work. He has presented this volume of high mysticism with great simplicity and clarity.
I have no doubt that all readers will greatly appreciate Mr. Cader’s efforts and benefit from the wisdom the book discloses.
I have therefore, great pleasure in commending this book to all aspirants of the Sufi path for whose benefit this English version is rendered.
I pray to Almighty Allah to bless Mr. Cader for the great interest he has shown in translating this monumental work.
