The Book of Certainty

Seminar#6

by Reza Shah-Kazemi

In this series, Dr Reza Shah-Kazemi will discuss The Book of Certainty

by Dr Martin Lings, also known as Shaykh Abū Bakr Sirāj ad-Dīn. The

talks will be in the form of seminars where Reza will start by reading a

few pages from the book, then elucidate some of the meanings. The

audience will then be invited to participate and engage in a Q&A

session.

The Book of Certainty: The Sufi Doctrine of Faith, Vision and Gnosis was

first published in 1992 by the Islamic Texts Society. The book

expresses the language of Sufism, that is, Islamic mysticism, some of

the universal truths which ‘lie at the heart of all religions’.

Dr Lings was asked by friends in Egypt in the early 1950s to write a

book before he leaves. He wrote this book attempting to distil the

quintessence of Sufi Qur’anic exegeses, wove into that a universal

prospective. His aim of writings was to make accessible some of the

great germs of Universal Spirituality expressed through commentaries of

Qur’anic verses.

We would like to thank the Institut Kajian Dasar (IKD), Institute for

Policy Research in Kuala Lumpur for their help in organising this

webinar.
