description: Rabia al-Adawiyya was an unconventional Muslim woman from Basra known as "the First of Sufis", the original Sufi poet-saint, a predecessor to Rumi and Hafiz. Rabia's passionate verses and witty teaching stories are designed to incite us to illumination. Thanks to the interpretations of Charles Upton, this may be the world's most accessible and meditative book on Rabia.
