Pure Gold from the Words of Sayyidī ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Dabbāgh - Aḥ - Bog

Around 1720 in Fez A¿mad b. al-Mub¿rak al-Lamä¿, a religious scholar, wrote down the words and teachings of the Sufi master ¿Abd al-¿Az¿z al-Dabb¿gh. Al-Dabb¿gh shied away from official religious studies but, having reached illumination and met with the Prophet Mu¿ammad, he was able to explain any obscurities in the Qur¿¿n, ¿ad¿ths and sayings of earlier Sufis. The resulting book, known as the Ibr¿z, describes how al-Dabb¿gh attained illumination and access to the Prophet, as well as his teachings about the Council of the godly that regulates the world, relations between master and disciple, the darkness in men's bodies, Adam's creation, Barzakh, Paradise and Hell, and much more besides.
