This book describes the lives and sayings of our Masters and those blessed beings who lived in the time following the death of the Prophet Muhammad, prayers and peace be upon him, whose lives were examples of the love of Allah made manifest in this world. These were the earliest of the People of Tassawuf when to be a true Sufi, as one of them said, "Was to be a reality without a name." Whereas in our day, to be a Sufi has become a name without a reality.
