Sufi Qamus: Language of the Future

The work is essentially a dictionary (qamus). It is a book full of definitions and meanings. Each human is a qamus. When one sincerely looks within their own self and contemplates the inner signs (ayat) and meanings (ma'ani) they may come to know Allah. To make the journey into the self, and through the levels of the Self, is the most serious task to which an individual can turn. However, this cannot be achieved without a guide. Without a guide, the one intending to travel will be unable to read the words of the dictionary and similarly unable to understand their definitions. An authentic Spiritual Guide (Murshid) will take the traveller safely to the Sacred Centre. Through verbal expression ('ibarah) and symbolic allusion (isharah) or indications, the Murshid will assist the murid and explain the words within their qamus. Whenever an individual speaks or writes down what is within themself, they are opening their own qamus for others to read. This book thus becomes a companion of the companion, assisting the traveller who is accompanying their Murshid in order to know their self and their Lord.
