What Kabbalah is to Judaism, Sufism is to Islam. This esoteric sect has made significant contributions to the religion; however, many conservative Muslims disagree with popular Sufi practices, particularly saint worship, the visiting of tombs, and its incorporation of non-Islamic customs. As a result, Sufism has become a target for Islamic reformist and modernist movements.

Seyyed Hossein Nasr, the preeminent Sufi scholar in the United States, explains the beliefs and vision of the mystical heart of Islam in The Garden of Truth, along with a history of Sufi saints and schools of thought. Readers of this book will find that Islam is much more than what is often depicted in the media.

Seyyed Hossein Nasr, one of the world's leading experts on Islamic science and spirituality, is a professor of Islamic Studies at George Washington University. Author of over fifty books and five hundred articles, Professor Nasr is a well known and highly respected intellectual figure both in the West and the Islamic world. Nasr was born in Tehran, raised from the age of twelve in the United States, and is a graduate of MIT and Harvard.

"Only Professor Nasr could have given us such a beautiful and authoritative book on Sufism, its genesis, practices, disciplines and states, both historically as well as practically ... This modern classic will challenge the serious reader to realize and experience directly the ever-present inner garden of eternal truth. A brilliant gift to a confused world."

- Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri, Sufi Master, author and founder of the Academy of Self Knowledge (ASK).

Great design and easy to put together!
Color: Black - Square
Works very well and this is easily put together! I filled mine with water and it is more than heavy enough to withstand a strong gust of wind. Highly recommended!

Nice base in general
Base seemed nice coming out of the box. Good size, though double check it will work for your needs as my mistake it was just a bit too big. Filled with water, it is a decent base to utilize with an umbrella I feel. Not sure if others' bases had this, too, but mine has some kind of object rolling around the side. No way to get it out. Not sure if when the hole is drilled into the top, it's from that? Also, when filling with water, there were unpleasant fumes coming out. Water mixing with the rubber material on the inside? All that said, for the price, this is a good option to consider for an umbrella base.

Sturdy, Reliable, and Visually Pleasing - A Must-Have Patio Accessory!
I recently purchased the Best Choice Products 55lb Capacity Fillable Umbrella Base Stand for my backyard patio, and I have to say, I'm absolutely thrilled with this purchase. This umbrella stand has quickly become a reliable and crucial part of our outdoor setup. To start off, the assembly was straightforward and didn't take up much time. The instructions were clear, easy to understand, and within minutes we were able to get it set up. No additional tools or complex steps were necessary, which was a great relief as I'm not exactly a DIY person. I filled it with sand, which brought it to its maximum capacity of 55lbs, and the stability it provides is exceptional. We've had several windy days since I've purchased the stand, and not once has my patio umbrella tilted or tipped. The 2 adjustment knobs on the sides help to secure the umbrella pole firmly, which provides an additional layer of stability. The stand's faux wicker design is another aspect I absolutely love. It beautifully complements my other patio furniture and adds a touch of sophistication to my outdoor decor. The plastic used for the stand is of high quality and convincingly mimics the look of real wicker without the associated maintenance or weathering concerns. Being a round base, it conveniently fits in our patio corner without taking up too much space. Moreover, it's been outside in various weather conditions - from intense sun to rain showers - and it hasn't shown any signs of wear or color fading. The material seems durable and capable of withstanding different weather patterns, which is exactly what I needed. Also, despite being sturdy and heavy when filled, the base is easy to move around when empty. This makes it convenient to store away during the winter or rearrange when we want to change up our patio layout.
