The Glimpse, the inner teaching of Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazzali's Mishkat al-Anwar (the Niche for Lights) Abdullah Dougan
Shaikh Abdullah Isa Neil Dougan (1918-87)
Religion was an integral part of life in the family Abdullah was born into. Christianity claimed his attention at an early age. Later he realised the urgency of finding a method of channelling energy into inner development. This led him first to the Gurdjieff movement then to Sufism. He was initiated as a Naqshbandi Sufi and in the subsequent twenty years expanded his teaching to include Gnostic ideals.
The Mishkat al-Anwar, an examination of the Light-Verse in the Koran and the symbolism of the Veils-Tradition, was written in the eleventh century by al-Ghazzali, a man of formidable intellect working in the Muslim tradition, who understood that spiritual realisation entailed making a jump from the limitations of the mind and sensory experience. Abdullah discusses the inner teaching of the Mishkat al-Anwar, explaining truths which are as relevant to twenty-first century man as to seekers a thousand years ago.
