The works of Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan are one of the great spiritual treasures of the world. At once deeply rooted in the Sufi tradition and strikingly original in insight and expression, Hazrat's teachings remain as potent and meaningful today as they were when originally communicated a century ago, with a message for every human mind and heart, and indeed for humankind collectively.
For some time the need for a new popular edition of Hazrat Inayat Khan's collected works has been apparent. With this in view, Suluk Press now commences its series The Sufi Message of Hazrat Inayat Khan: Centennial Edition. The aim of this series is to provide the full set of Hazrat's best-known teachings in a form that balances fidelity to his original words with sensitivity to the contemporary evolution of the English language.

Inayat Khan opened a new chapter in Sufi history when he brought Sufism from India to North America and Europe in the early twentieth century. Founded in London in 1918, Hazrat Inayat Khan's Sufi Order represents both a faithful continuation of the fourfold lineage he inherited from his predecessors and a visionary renewal of Sufi thought and practice attuned to the needs of today's world. Hazrat's esoteric teachings provide a potent framework for the transformation of human consciousness, while his exoteric teachings trace a glowing template for the spiritual reconstruction of society.In Hazrat Inayat Khan's lifetime his Order was active in the United States, Europe, and India. It has since spread further afield. Once contained in a single organization, several groups working along parallel tracks now maintain and transmit its traditions. While these groups vary in their emphasis on the original form of Hazrat's teaching and practice, their common heritage remains a basis of shared spiritual culture. For all who light their candle from his lamp, Hazrat Inayat Khan is Murshid (the Guide).
