Abstract

 
This book has been compiled by Dr Abbas Iqbali and Seyyed Reza MirAhmadi and published in SAMT University Press for the 2-credite course “Reading mystical texts”, the field of Arabic Language and literature, MA. In this book, at first the authors have defined some common mystical words and terms, then, have inserted some selected classic and modern mystical texts for students in order to make familiar them with these kinds of texts.
Since the authors’ aim was to write a book for the use of students in all higher education institutions, the defects of the book should have been minimal. Although the authors have used the salient mystical books, I found many mistakes in the book, both in form and content, during my teaching in the classrooms. So, I discussed them in this article with the aim to make it better for the use of students. I hope this book will be published with less mistakes in the future.
