"A holy gift: Jamal Rahman has mined the great jewel of Sufi wisdom and laughter, sharing its healing powers via every page of this book." -Rev. Susan Sparks, senior pastor (and comedian), Madison Avenue Baptist Church; author, Laugh Your Way to Grace: Reclaiming the Spiritual Power of Humor "Lovely ... help[s] us understand our human condition. What makes it particularly valuable are the tips and exercises to help us incorporate ancient wisdom into our modern lives." -Amir Hussain, professor of theological studies, Loyola Marymount University "A true gift for seekers of all faith traditions.... Be prepared to laugh out loud!" -Rev. Jane Vennard, author, Fully Awake and Truly Alive: Spiritual Practices to Nurture Your Soul "Marvelous.... Lasers into the heart of the matter with delicious humor. Truly a lovely book for people of all faith traditions." -Kay Lindahl, co-founder, Women of Spirit and Faith; co-editor, Women, Spirituality and Transformative Leadership: Where Grace Meets Power "There are many books on Sufism, but none like this! The wisdom presented here, made all the more sharp by the liberating humor that carries it, is a scalpel cutting away everything that distracts us from Truth." -Rabbi Rami Shapiro, author, Perennial Wisdom for the Spiritually Independent: Sacred Teachings-Annotated and Explained "In case you were tempted to characterize Islam as dogmatic or somber, [here is] the Mulla, and his most eloquent spokesperson, Imam Jamal Rahman. Be prepared to laugh your head off and then ... have a direct and transformational encounter with the wild wisdom of the Sufis." -Mirabai Starr, author, God of Love: A Guide to the Heart of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, "A holy gift: Jamal Rahman has mined the great jewel of Sufi wisdom and laughter, sharing its healing powers via every page of this book." --Rev.

Be prepared to laugh your head off and then ... have a direct and transformational encounter with the wild wisdom of the Sufis." --Mirabai Starr, author, God of Love: A Guide to the Heart of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, Sufism is Islam's mystical dimension, and Sufi stories are used to teach "larger" lessons. The protagonists for most stories are famous Sufi luminaries; however, Mulla Nasruddin is the main character in several of the stories. In the stories, the main character typically does "stupid" things to expose our fallacies or show us what is truly important. This collection of stories is divided into nine sections. Each section contains about half a dozen chapters, and each section takes the reader into a higher level of consciousness (which Sufis typically work toward). Each chapter contains a couple of stories, but the bulk of the chapter is devoted to explaining the lesson. The stories, although humorous, serve to embellish the lesson rather [than] form an integral part of it, and each chapter ends with sections for further reflection and practice. Although the stories included are generally intended for children, this book is more suitable for older readers and adults. A chapter can be read quickly, but the reflection and practice last a lifetime., Sufism is Islam's mystical dimension, and Sufi stories are used to teach "larger" lessons.

Synopsis
Combines the legendary stories of Islam's great comic foil, Mulla Nasruddin, with sayings from the Qur'an, the Prophet Muhammad, Rumi, Hafiz and other Islamic sages. Shows how spiritual seekers of all traditions--as individuals or in a group--can apply the Mulla's wisdom teachings to their spiritual lives with easy-to-follow spiritual practices., Combines the legendary stories of Islam's great comic foil, Mulla Nasruddin, with sayings from the Qur'an, the Prophet Muhammad, Rumi, Hafiz and other Islamic sages. Shows how spiritual seekers of all traditions-as individuals or in a group-can apply the Mulla's wisdom teachings to their spiritual lives with easy-to-follow spiritual practices., A first-of-its-kind combination of the legendary wisdom stories of Islam's great comic foil with spiritual insights for seekers of all traditions--or none. "We would do well to heed the Mulla's wisdom. One day, inevitably, our personal storms will not abate before causing destruction. Something will break our hearts and cause us to ask deeper questions. At that point we will become spiritual seekers, each in our own way.... We will begin to hear deep inside the mysterious calling of our soul to fulFill the purpose for which we were created." --from the chapter "The Storms in Our Lives" The mythical Mulla Nasruddin is a village simpleton and sage rolled into one. His wisdom stories, timeless and placeless, emanate from a source beyond book learning, and contain several layers of meaning. In this unique presentation, Imam Jamal Rahman weaves together spiritual insights with the Mulla's humorous teaching stories and connects them to the issues at the heart of the spiritual quest. Addressing such topics as human vulnerability, the rigors of inner and outer spiritual work, the hazards of the ego and more, he roots the Mulla's stories in Islamic spirituality by pairing them with sayings from the Qur'an, the Prophet Muhammad, Rumi, Hafiz and other Islamic sages. Together, these sources combined with spiritual practices will awaken your spirit with laughter and inspire you to transform yourself and the world around you.
