Shams al-maʻārif al-kubrá (Larger Sun of knowledge), by Abū al-ʻAbbās Aḥmad ibn ʻAlī al-Būnī (died 1225), a well-known Ṣufī scholar from the city of Būnah (Bône), now ʻAnnābah (Annaba, Algeria), who died in Cairo. This work is designated "al-kubrá" (the larger) to distinguish it from the author's two other treatises: "al-wusṭá"́ (the middle) and "al-ṣughrá" (the smaller).

The present work is a lithographed edition, printed from an original copy from India, in four parts, as follows: al-Juzʼ al-awwal (Part one: Pages 1-132), al-Juzʼ al-thānī (Part two: pages 1-116), al-Juzʼ al-thālith (Part three: pages 1-124), al-Juzʼ al-rābiʻ (Part four: Pages 1-148), followed by an index of contents for the four parts (Pages 1-7).

i have a very old book of shamsul maarif al kubra in arabic,its almost 150 years old printed in egypt.i have other works of Al Buni,if its in hand of someone who fears God on his creation thats good otherwise its missuse can couse more trouble then benefit.
The author himself has warned to be used in the proper way.It is still the top book in this field.
i know someone who practices Shams Al maarif but does not teach or provide assistance to others on this as she says it is strictly prohibbited to provide any part of this book and to teach anyone the correct methods of its practice unless you know that person better than you know yourself, and beleive they are pious like an angel. So, she just helps whoever asks for help in their issues and problems.
