This publication is the Arabic edition of “Writings of the Heart“ by Professor Dr. Çınar. It outlines an understanding of Sufism in which science and wisdom, sincerity and benevolence, a noble character and thoughtfulness predominate, far removed from superficiality and superciliousness, being purposeful and protecting the consciousness of the Ummah.
“Writings of the Heart” is the culmination of longstanding and intensive scientific research undertaken by Professor Dr. Çınar. As the subtitle “Sufism and a Noble Character in the light of the Qur’an and the Hadith” implies, the content of the book has been edited in conformity with the primary sources of Islam, the Qur’an and the Hadith. Depending on the specific topics Professor Dr. Çınar offers the reader broad perspectives including traditional and modern sources and relevant Islamic scientific disciplines, for example, doctrines of faith, Sufism, and Islamic jurisprudence. Professor Dr. Çınar discusses the problems of Sufi-movements developed under the umbrella of Tarīqa and Sufism and aligned to political and business organizations. Moreover, the professor shows how these movements have diverged from the core of Sufism while detailing solutions based on Sufi principles considering how to escape from this trap.
