This issue explores the enduring theme of surrender and devotion within Sufism. In his discourse, Submission, Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh emphasizes the Sufi path of giving oneself wholly to God and the Master, welcoming hardship as Divine Will. Articles examine the foundations of Sufi practice and thought — from William C. Chittick’s exploration of the Sufi way, to Carl W. Ernst on stages of love in early Persian Sufism, and Leonard Lewisohn on annihilation in ‘Ayno’l-Qodhāt’s Tamhidat. Stories and poems deepen the issue’s reflections on surrender, remembrance, and love, while the News section marks a milestone with the opening of a new Nimatullahi Center in Sydney, Australia.
