He turned to tasawwuf\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(Islamic mysticism) at a very young age, and came to be regarded as an extraordinary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eteacher, mystic, and an authority on Islam. Thousands were drawn to him and became his\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efollowers, and to this day his poetry and prose-collected in Persian and Arabic texts that\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eare widely regarded as masterpieces-inspire and instruct scholars, seekers and the pious\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efaithful alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbdullah Ansari's tomb in Herat, in modern-day Afghanistan-a country ravaged in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003erecent decades by discord and violence-remains a place of pilgrimage and peace for\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emillions. In that beautiful sanctuary and elsewhere-including Panipat in India, where his\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edescendants settled in the thirteenth century-his legacy and teachings continue to give\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esolace to humanity, guiding us towards humility and compassion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis compilation of Abdullah Ansari's invocations, prayers and counsels, selected\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efrom translations by two celebrated scholars, is a book of wisdom for all times.
