'A'ishah al-Ba'uniyyah (d. 923 H/1517 AD) of Damascus was one of the
great women scholars in Islamic history. A mystic and prolific poet and writer, 'A'ishah composed more works in
Arabic than any other woman before the twentieth century. Yet despite her
extraordinary literary and religious achievements, 'A'ishah al-Ba'uniyyah
remains
largely unknown. For the first time her key work, The Principles of
Sufism, is available in English translation.

The Principles of Sufism is a mystical guide book to help others on their spiritual
path. She recounts the fundamental stages and states of the spiritual
novice’s transformative journey, emphasizing the importance of embracing both
human limitations and God’s limitless love. Drawing on lessons and readings
from centuries-old Sufi tradition, 'A'ishah advises the seeker to repent of
selfishness and turn to a sincere life of love. In addition to his lucid
translation, Th. Emil Homerin provides an insightful introduction, notes and a glossary
to 'A'ishah al-Ba'uniyyah’s remarkable account of the pursuit of mystical
illumination.
