Song of the Prophets

​Insights on the harmony and unity of the ideals of all faiths.

Now more than ever before, the world needs Hazrat Inayat Khan’s thoughtful insights on the essential unity of religious ideals as a path to interfaith understanding. In clear and eloquent language, he identifies the spiritual thread that unifies the messages of the world’s great religious teachers.

Based on original transcripts, this volume attempts to present the teachings in the very words that Hazrat Inayat spoke; it contains most of the material from sermons given at interfaith Universal Worship services between 1924 and 1926, with additional material on the great teachers of humanity.

Hazrat Inayat Kahn, founder of the Sufi order in the West, was born in India in 1882. A master of classical Indian music by the age of twenty, he relinquished a brilliant career to devote himself to the spiritual path. In 1920, acting upon the guidance of his teacher, he became one of the first teachers of the Sufi tradition in the West. For a decade and a half he travelled throughout Europe and the US giving lectures and guiding an ever-growing group of seekers. In 1926, he returned to India where he died the following year.
