MEETINGS WITH MOUNTAINS
For nearly one half a century acclaimed British photographer Peter Sanders has traveled the earth to capture images of the saints of Islam. In the traditional world, these people of purity, knowledge and illumination have been the role models, benchmarks and exemplars of what it is to be human. The goal of this spiritual tradition is nothing less than direct experience or ma’arifa (gnosis) of God’s presence. The fulfillment and embodiment of this tradition is the Friend or Intimate of God. This lengthy search has finally culminated in the publication entitledMeetings with Mountains, Encounters with the Saints and Sages of the Islamic World.

world’s and galaxies, then consider the atomic perspective within each cell of all existing things, it’s impossible to hold on to yourself without losing your breath in total submission to His immeasurable and majestic glory.The next most powerful testimony of His infinite wisdom and mercy is when you encounter His humble servants, whose hearts radiate like the sun and who tower above your own shadowy character, like mountains.
Peter Sanders has helped us glimpse the light of these God-centered souls and through his journey of life, through the flames and raging emotions of the sixties and finding Islam – like myself – he managed to see the truth which blows through and all around us. This is truly a blessed book, of places and moments spent in such awesome and elevated company. May God reward you forever for your noble efforts, Peter.

I have climbed the seven highest peaks on the planet and, each time I’ve reached the summit, I’ve felt close to the great Prophets – Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, peace be upon them – who ascended celestial heights to guide humanity. My aspirations as a mountaineer, in an extraordinary way, mirror the aspirations of Peter Sanders as a photographer. He has traveled the world seeking out spiritual mountains and leaving us an incomparable visual record of these blessed beings for posterity. ‘Meetings with Mountains’ is a unique testament to the transcendence of the human spirit.
