Music in Sufi thought

Hazrat Inayat Khan considers music through a Sufi understanding of harmony, presenting it as a small expression of the universe’s greater order. The book connects that spiritual perspective with music’s place in everyday life and its capacity to move people. Written by an Indian Sufi teacher who was also an accomplished musician, it brings together mystical reflection and an appreciation of music as a subject in its own right.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers exploring Sufi teachings and Islamic mysticism
  • Musicians interested in spiritual perspectives on music
  • Readers seeking reflective writing about music and its place in daily life

Book overview

The first teacher to bring Islamic mysticism to the West presents music's divine nature and its connection to our daily lives in this poetic classic of Sufi literature.

Music, according to Sufi teaching, is really a small expression of the overwhelming and perfect harmony of the whole universe--and that is the secret of its amazing power to move us. The Indian Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882-1927), the first teacher to bring the Islamic mystical tradition to the West, was an accomplished musician himself. His lucid exposition of music's divine nature has become a modern classic, beloved not only by those interested in Sufism but by musicians of all kinds.
