Description: Ramadan is not just a month of fasting, but a month of spiritual healing. Presented from an interfaith perspective as a means to motivate believers to action, the articles by such famous writers as Muhammad al-Ghazzali, Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani, Imam Jawziyya, Ibn Sireen, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Mawlana Mawdudi and Laleh Bakhtiar include essays on both the Law and the Way. They are divided into the traditional threefold method of spiritual healing, namely, knowledge, inner processing and action. The method produces the seven characteristics of devotees as Goal-Setters and Believers (knowledge, cognition, theoethics), Strategists, Moral Healers, Energizers (inner processing, affect or emotions, psychoethics) and Human Bonders and Master Communicators (action or behavior towards God, self and others, socioethics). -- from publisher
