“Sayr al-‘ibād ilā al-ma’ād” Reaches Second Edition

The significant work “Sayr al-‘ibād ilā al-ma’ād” (The Journey of the Servants to the Hereafter) by Hakim Abul-Majd Majdud ibn Adam Sanai Ghaznavi (commonly known as Sana’i) has reached its second print run through Hekmat Publication. This allegorical poem is a foundational text in Persian mystical literature and a precursor to later epic works by poets like Rumi.

The decision to publish a second edition reflects the enduring demand for this classic work and its continued relevance to contemporary readers interested in Sufism, Persian poetry, and philosophical thought. Hekmat Publication aims to make this masterpiece more accessible to students, scholars, and general readers alike, reaffirming its place in the canon of world literature.
