| Summary: | Introduction
Hamka (1908-1981)’s Tasauf Modern (Modern Sufism) first
published in August 1939 was a compilation of an earlier year and
a half series of articles on ‘happiness’ from the weekly columns of
the magazine Pedoman Masjarakat (Guidance for Society) where
he was its chief-editor. The first article which appeared through
the magazine’s circulation, dated 21st April, 1937, came with the
reminder from the author, that he was writing in response to
the requests of the magazines’ faithful followers, especially the
elderly who had gone through so much of life’s hardships (pahitgetir).1 |
