Mary and Jesus in Islam and Islamic Mystic Tradition (Sufism) Adel Gaballa

This book is devoted to serve the international interfaith efforts, to establish permanent peace and mutual love and understanding among all the religions of the world. The contents of the book describe Mary and Jesus in the scriptures of Islam and Islamic mystical writings. Such knowledge will contribute to dissolving any misunderstanding or misinformation about what the world of Islam thinks about the Christian faith. But most importantly, these writings should teach us how to live our lives, how to deal with fellow humans, and how to deal with our own egotistical and spiritual crises. What should Mary's life and words teach us? What did Jesus say, how did he face the crises of his life, and what can we learn from them to uplift our own lives? The book also covers the loving relationship between a mother and her son. And, surprisingly, the book covers the vast Sufi literature about Mary and Jesus, and how they both occupied a loving space in the hearts of many Muslim Mystics, men and women alike. Hopefully, this book takes the reader into a heart-uplifting spiritual journey with our beloved Mary and Jesus.
