I’ve gotten permission from Dr. Alan Godlas (Abdul Haqq), who is a professor at the University of Georgia for Islamic and Sufi studies, to repost his Facebook postings on Islam and Sufism. Abdul Haqq has several of his own websites: http://www.uga.edu/islam/Sufism.html
All translations are done by Abdul Haqq Godlas unless otherwise noted.
