Works
- Muslim Saints of South Asia: the eleventh to fifteenth century. — London—N.Y.: Routledge, 2004[3][4][5][6][7].
- Barr-e saghir ke awliya aur unke mazar. — Lahore: Mashaal, 2007
…After Dr. Annemarie Schimmel, Professor Anna Suvorova is perhaps the best scholar on mysticism in the western world. Her book Muslim Saints of South Asia was recently translated into Urdu. Titled Barre Sagheer key Aulia aur un key Mazar, it deals very objectively with the history of our shrines and saints. Although a lot has been written on mysticism, Suvorova has presented it as a living tradition, thus attracting the reader and creating an interest in the subject. Mysticism is not to be discussed, it is something to be practiced and it’s very difficult to write about the spiritual experience. Suvorova, however, has managed to share her spiritual experience so that the reader wants to know more, visit the shrines she mentions and share her experience.
