Faith and Religious Experience

In the second volume of his pioneering encyclopedia, "Faith and Religious Experience," Dr. Abdul-Jabbar Al-Rifai invites us to transcend dry, formal religiosity and step into the vast horizon of living spiritual experiences. The book raises profound, daring questions about the nature of the religious experience and its diverse manifestations, including attraction, awe, and divine love. The author beautifully analyzes how genuine faith quenches humanity's "ontological thirst" — the persistent longing to find true meaning in life and overcome existential fragility and anxiety. With his elegant, flowing prose, Al-Rifai distinguishes the sublime experiences of prophets and mystics from delusions, psychological disorders, and superstitions, working to restore the image of God in human hearts as the ultimate source of love and peace.

To taste the sweetness of faith as a personal, heartfelt experience in which you encounter God’s presence, and to liberate your consciousness from narrow, distorted religious interpretations, moving toward open horizons of love, beauty, and spiritual peace.

For every restless soul searching for safe harbors and serenity amidst material chaos, for lovers of philosophy and mystical research, and for readers wishing to understand the internal, spiritual dimensions of religions away from ideological conflicts.
