What's your comparison of Sham Al Maarif Sufi Mystic Book and the Ghayat Al-Hakim Arabic Book also would you combine some of the knowledge from both books?
what's better, worse or even different between the Sham Al Maarif Sufi Mystic Book and Ghayat Al-Hakim Arabic Book would love an in-depth explanation video Thanks.


I perfer you using Sham Al Maarif Sufi Mystic Book as your foundation & Ghayat Al Hakim Arabic Book as a somewhat of a extension to your foundation I like Sham Al Maarif Sufi Mystic Book more than Ghayat Al Hakim Arabic Book.
