I've owned this book for a while an I have a few questions about it for those that have more 'ilm than me.

1. Does this book have a sanad back to Shaykh 'Abd al-Qadir (was this book actually written by him or is it only attributed to him?)

2. Has anyone read the Arabic version and if so, where can I purchase a copy?

3. Does this book have any relation to this book: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d8/Secret_of_secrets_a.jpg/200px-Secret_of_secrets_a.jpg
The article is on wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretum_Secretorum

Assalaamualaikum

Yes, its a brilliant book, for some people it takes longer to read than others, as it is a lot to take in, i recommend it to those who are on the Path.

I think it is quite difficult to undestand excactly what's meant many places. But I've heard it should be easier if one reads Ghunyat al Talibin first. I haven't read Ghunyat myself, though.
