Tribute By Non-Muslims
American cultural anthropologist Katherine Pratt Ewing visited Darul Ehsan in 1977 for her research study and wrote a tribute to ali: "The presence of a living representative of the sufi traditions, who possesses all attributes of the original sufi pirs further reinforces the position that the pirs were not mysterious, magical figures of the mystical past, but were pious men. They performed for their era what living sufis can do today for ours."

Famous quotes containing the word tribute:
“Although my parents have never been the kind to hint around about grandchildren, I can think of no better tribute to them than giving them some.... I can’t help thinking that the cycle is not complete until I can introduce them to a child of their child. And I can think of no better comfort when they are gone than to know that something of them lives on, not only in me but in my children.”
—Anne Cassidy. “Every Child Should Have a Father But....,” McCall’s (March 1985)
