The Sun of Knowledge (Shams al-Ma'arif): An Arabic Grimoire in Selected Translation Paperback – December 6, 2021

Al Buni was a Sufi and this is the thread that runs through this work. Forget about Picatrix. This is the book you need to really understand Islamic magick. I am grateful to Al Buni for writing this down and to the translators who breathed life into this work, which has become central to my own practice.

Many thanks to the authors for making this available in English. It's well organized, concise and user friendly with plenty of useful footnotes to help the reader.

I have not had time to study the manuscript, but I am an admirer of old religious beliefs from all over the globe. The book was packaged well, arrived on time, and was new. All pages were clean and without dust. Meaning...no sneezing as I quickly flicked through the pages.

An east read and a good book if you are into mysticism etc .

An incredible book. It will take me a while to absorb it all.

Knowledge is power. I love reading books like this. If you like occult books, I highly recommend!

To the believer: please proceed with upmost caution as your place is jannat can be halted by the teachings in this book. It is heavily banned in Islamic tradition to save the believer from committing the sins of black magic.Yes you can read this with good intentions, but it is Pandora's box. Shaitan's waswasa (whispers) will follow. Please avoid at all costs.

I am impressed that the book came as it appears on the picture. Clear pages to read and easily understand. It's a very good resource for know of the unseen world but based on the Quran script. I totally find nothing scary than little areas which involve calling the spirits. Still it requires a highly religious person to practice that since its dangerous, not everyone can manage as it also requires a person to be more vast with the Holy Quran. How will a person manage to do the ritual which involves reading more than 10 chapters of the Quran? If someone is unaltered then it of no use. Out of all, what i like most from this book is how it teaches spiritual ways to get to closer to Allah, being a highly faithful Muslim, honest and uplifting Iman(Faith) to a standard that one can totally foregone the world and only worship the Most High Allah. I really appreciate it. Nothing strange happened to me since I bought it. Plus the book is just like any other books though, one should never never try those rituals written in it if not prepared to face the reality of the spirits. I have never tried any ritual mentioned in the book. Build your Iman first the you turn on to the book. Good luck 👍. Given it 4 starts because it's written totally in English with some few codes in a strange language no Arabic and some Arabic. I would suggest the Arabic script plus translation in English. Thanks a lot. Great book.
