Full Description: Quotations from Reviews of the Book Of Certainty
The publishers claim this volume to be “the first authentic modern account of Sufic teaching written from within” Every page bears out this claim, for the author is steeped in the esoteric teaching of the sufi sheikhs… It is both enjoyable and instructive to peruse his little volume.
Prof. A. J. Arberry
This book is an excellent introduction to Sufism, highly intelligent, balanced, lucid, well-written and in places really eloquent. It will stimulate advanced students of Sufism to fresh thinking. It is well worth a careful perusal.

Abu Bakr Siraj ad-Din has bestowed upon the world a great benefaction in giving it this very important Sufic treatise, for, belonging as it does to our own time, it is easier for us to assimilate than are the treatises and commentaries of the sufis of old, and it may thus serve as a bridge between us and them.
Islamic Quarterly, London
There are indeed few works known to the author of this review which, in so small a space and in a manner so vivid and so free from abstruseness, have been able to present the basic ideas required by one minded to engage in the spiritual course with full intent and not merely out of that passing interest which stops short at theory.
