On the Path: Counsels of Imam Al Junayd is a journey through a number of counsels of the great Muslim sage and scholar Imam Abu Muhammad Junayd Al Baghdadi. When most Muslim scholars fall either more towards the legalistic tradition or the more spiritual tradition known as Sufism, Imam Al Junayd was known as the “Shaykh of the Two Camps” because he was a master of both. In this series I begin with a biography to introduce who Imam Al Junayd was, and then go through 14 of his most famous counsels. In a time of great strife and division between Muslims, Imam Al Junayd serves as a great reminder that a true realization of Islamic ideals can only come about by bringing about the law and spirit of this tradition together.
