This book is 'Allamah Hasan Mustafawi's exposition of the known treatise on mystical wayfaring (Risaleh-ye Sayr wa Suluk) widely attributed to Sayyid Mahdi Bahr al-Ulum al-Burujirdi al-Najafi (died 1212 AH/1797-98). Though concise, this book has made clear all stages and stations of mystical wayfaring and the degrees of perfection of the human soul in the best and most comprehensive mode of expression and substantiated by holy Qur'anic verses, noble traditions (aḥādīth), and rational proofs. As 'Allamah Mustafawi describes, "This noble treatise, which in my manuscript is entitled Tuhfat al-Muluk fī 's-Sayr wa 's-Suluk and in other manuscripts as Risalah fi 's-Sayr wa 's-Suluk, has been one of the best books ever written in the field of mystical wayfaring, and the purification and refinement of the soul. In fact, this nondescript has not yet come across another book on this subject that is as firm, indisputable, accurate, and comprehensive as this treatise." The eminent author has elaborated and elucidated this treatise, which if meticulously and enthusiastically studied and examined, it is clear that apart from tactfully explaining the concepts and subjects of the esteemed Sayyid, he has also independently stated many divine fundamentals, principles, truths, and knowledge according to his enlightened viewpoint within the framework of the book's exposition-fundamentals and concepts that bespeak of this noble man's unique cognizance and mastery of mystical wayfaring (sayr wa sulūk).
Shining Sun is a tribute to the life and thought of the renowned Islamic scholar, Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Tabataba’i, written soon after his death by one of his students. Shining Sun includes an overview of Tabataba’i’s life and transcriptions of discussions between Tabataba’i and his students. These discussions cover history, philosophy, mysticism, theology, and the Qur’an. Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Tabataba’i (1902-1981), commonly referred to as the most learned (‘Allamah), was a prominent Muslim scholar who breathed new life into the Shi‘a seminaries by establishing courses on the interpretation of the Qur’an and by introducing a novel method of Qur’anic interpretation. He was a master of Islamic philosophy and a model of spirituality. "‘Allamah Tabataba’i is undoubtedly the major Shi`a thinker of modern times, and his impact on Persian philosophy and theology is incomparable. Anyone who approaches his work is bound to be impressed by it, and the fertility of his thought can be seen in the considerable contributions that his many students have continued to make to Islamic philosophy. It is wonderful to see the Persian tradition of respecting great personalities in writing continuing in modern times." - Oliver Leaman, University of Kentucky, USA

Penned by His Eminence 'Allāmah Ḥasan Muṣṭafawī, who was himself a man of divine gnosis and knowledge, this valuable and precious treatise mystically guides the enthusiasts who are engaged in traversing the stations of mystical wayfaring and way of the truth and reality - station by station. While elucidating in a classical, decisive and convincing manner all the phases, stages and stations from a spiritual perspective, the erudite author had the following ideas in mind: To quote divine verses [of the Qur'an] and sayings of the holy saints[awliyā'] of God who are recipients of divine inspirations and treasuries of mystical knowledge; To explain the underlying concepts of those holy verses and noble traditions; To remind the faithful, nay everyone who is interested in spiritual perfection[kamāl] and bliss[sa'ādah], of the truths and features of perfection and bliss; To deal with the salient features and manner of mystical wayfaring[sayr wa sulūk] and traversing the different phases [marāḥil] of perfection so that the mystical wayfaring is done through a correct program, and thus, bear fruit; To shed light on the salient features and order of the stages[manāzil] of wayfaring so as to avoid straying, error, mistake, and deviation; To state the effects and signs of each of these stages so that the wayfarer[sālik] himself could examine carefully and identify exactly the stages which he imagines to have traversed and the stage [manzil] he is currently treading; and To state the principles and fundamentals of the science of ethics ['ilm al-akhlāq] as well as the essentials of divine knowledge[ma'ārif-e ilāhī] to which every faithful needs to pay heed.
