Four indispensable works on the foundations of Sufism:
• قوت القاوبب لأبي طالب المكي – Abu Talib al-Makki: Qut al-Qulub (a source of Al-Ghazali’s Ihya )
• عوارف المعارف لالسهروردي – Al-Suhrawardi: ´Awarif al-Ma´arif
• كتاب اللمع في التصوف لأبي نصر السراج الطوسي – Al-Tusi: Al-Luma´
• الرسالة للامام القشيري – Qurshayri: Risala

Imam al-GHazali says in Al-Munqidh min al-Dalal (Deliverer from ignorance):

I began to acquaint myself with their belief by reading their books, such as The Food of the Hearts (Qut al-Qulub) by Abu Talib al-Makki (God have mercy upon him), the works of al-Harith al-Muhasibi, the various anecdotes about al-Junayd, al-Shibli and Abu Yazid al-Bistami (may God sanctify their spirits), and other discourses of their leading authors.
