Inspired by the Author’s personal search for the Divine,
Life of a Sufi novel is centred on the idea that Sufism may be best described as Islamic mysticism or asceticism, which through belief and practice, helps attain closeness to God by way of direct personal experience of deity. The process of taking a concept and turning it into a book is challenging, but the experience is internally demanding and fulfilling and the reader will find a joyous moment of participation in this process.

The Early Days
Sunlight came through his opaque curtains, and Mario’s body immediately jerked up to consciousness to the sound of obnoxiously loud car horns from the street.
Despite not being fully conscious, he mustered up enough will to walk to his window and draw his curtains to see what all the commotion was about. To his surprise, there had been a car accident; unusual for this area.
What a shame, he could not help but think, before shutting his curtains again. He decided to ignore what was occurring and instead tried to sleep again; he had been losing sleep for quite a while now.
Just as he felt himself dozing off, he heard his door open. He silently prayed that it was anyone but his mother, but it seemed like his luck had run out, as he heard his mother speak.
“Good lord, it’s so late and you’re still in bed? When are you going to start behaving Mario? You need to start behaving and start becoming responsible, you’re old enough. I’ve had enough of you.”
Every day it was the same lecture, over and over again by his mother, Tara. Tara was a middle-aged woman who once used to be beautiful but the hard days of life had hardened and matured her pale face, with white hair which she never thought of dyeing. She was tired from life, after spending 25 years with Henry, his father.
