Read Fritzhof Schuon's "Understanding Islam" for a look at how normal Muslims experience their religion. It has a much different feeling than the boring bland stuff you are presented with by the usual proseletyzers.

If you want to learn about the deeper, more mystical teachings of Sufism, Annemarie Schimmel's "Mystical Dimensions of Islam" is great. She was a teacher at Ankara University, in the Turkish capitol, and a very respected academic in this field. The book itself is very enjoyable.

I wish both of you all the best.

Schimmel says otherwise.
