The Sacred Knowledge
The Altaf al-Quds of Shah Waliullah
Shah Waliullah of Delhi
TRANSLATED BY G. N. JALBANI
REVISED AND EDITED BY DAVID PENDLEBURY
The Sacred Knowledge is regarded as a fundamental text in both East and West by students of Sufi thought. Through
Professor Jalbani’s rendering, the book shows how the 18th century
mystic of Delhi discharged his task. In Waliullah’s own words, ‘The purpose
behind writing this discourse is that only those problems pertaining to
perception and the mystical unveiling are mentioned.’
