Description: "This is the first complete translation and interpretation of The Path of Muhammad: A Book on Islamic Morals and Ethics (al-Tariqah al-Muhammadiyyah), composed in the 16th century by the Sufi scholar Imam Birgivi, and still in use today as an Arabic text in many of the most important universities in the Islamic world.
