Samenvatting
This book brings to English-speaking audiences the voice of one of sub-Saharan Africa's greatest Sufi poets: Sëriñ Mbay Jaxate of Senegal. Mbay Jaxate composed poems in his native Wolof tongue using an enriched form of the Arabic script called Ajami. As a moralist and social critic, his poems relentlessly promote the pursuit of spiritual and moral excellence, which he construed as the best investment for everyone to flourish in this life and achieve paradise in the hereafter. The sixty poems in this book make accessible for the first time to English readers his rich African Sufi insights.
