This is a meticulous translation of an important juridical opinion on a key element of Muslim spritual practice, the remembrance of God (dhikr). At the same time, it is a useful introduction to the life and teachings of one of the most prominent representatives of traditional Islamic scholarship, Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti. Readers interested in the debates surrounding Sufism and Islamic ethics will find this a valuable contribution based on sound documentation.
Carl W. Ernst, William R. Kenan, Jr., Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Imam al-Suyuti is one of the towering landmarks of Islamic scholarship. This fatwa from a famous Qur'anic exegete, a leading authority in all the Qur'anic sciences, traditionist, jurisprudent, grammarian and historian, given with his characteristic lucidity and authority, obviates the need to look for more on the same subject.
Mostafa al-Badawi, author of Sufi Sage of Arabia: Abdallah ibn Alawi al-Haddad
Building on Imam al-Suyuti's authoritative account, the accompanying appendices and running commentary by Shaykh Gibril Haddad make this the ultimate reference on the subject of loud dhikr for the Muslim public.
Muhammad Afifi al-Akiti, Fellow of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies, University of Oxford
