Reading from his
book:
Masters of the Jinn
A Sufi Novel
Here is a
tale set on the Path of the Heart, a mystical adventure
wherein a modern-day Sufi master sends seven companions on a
quest for the original Ring of Power, and the greatest
treasure of the ancient world - King Solomon's ring. It is the
very same seal ring of a hundred legends, given to King
Solomon by God to command the Jinn, those terrifying demons
of living fire.
By sea and across deserts, they are led by a strange
faqir guide of many names. Through the mightiest of storms and
into a lost city, the travelers come at last to the gateway of
the Subtle Realm, the land of the Jinn.
But the quest has a strange effect on everyone chosen to
go: visions enter their dreams, remembrances and tears fill
their hearts, and mysteries abound; unearthly storms and
unending night, the Gates of Heaven open
at last, and invincible demons of smokeless fire.
It is a tale woven of ancient legends found in the Old
Testament, the Talmud, and the Koran, and although it is set
in the present, the search for the truth of the ring leads
them into a circle of ageless destiny, where the companions
discover not only the fate of the Jinn, but also the Path of
Love and the infinite Mercy of God.
