What reading level is Aspects of Islam book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In reading it, you would never imagine that it was intended for the guidance of darwishes. You could never guess that it stood in connection with expressions of religious emotion. It is evi- dent that his ideal, so far as he had energy to have one, was to smooth out all those things, to bring the darwish fraternities down to what I suppose he would call "sane religion. " I am tolerably sure that he will never reduce them to that plane, and I am quite sure, if he ever did succeed in doing it, he... would take the real, the essential religious life out of Islam.
But this attitude of his and of his like, for he does not stand alone, is, you must remember, a purely modern one. The old theologians and scholars of Islam had no such feeling of being THE MYSTICAL LIFE 183 half ashamed of religious emotion. Their atti- tude towards it was that it was either of God or of the devil. They either denounced it as a thing utterly false and to be abhorred and rejected and said that any one who had anything to do with it was to be cast forth ; or else they accepted this manifestation as one of the means of worship that God had appointed for men in this world.
