THE FIFTH LETTER: Written in the face of the tendency of some people to attach too much importance to Sufism at the expense of serving the cause of spreading the truths of belief, this letter points out the three sorts of sainthood and that the way of 'greater sainthood' is following the Practices of the Prophet (PBUH) and direct service to the truths of belief at this time.
