Sufis and Anti-Sufis (eBook, ePUB)

The Defence, Rethinking and Rejection of Sufism in the Modern World

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Despite its continuing appeal in the Muslim world, Sufism has faced fierce challenges in the last 250 years. This volume assesses the evolution of anti-Sufism since the middle of the eighteenth century and Sufi strategies for survival and considers the efforts of a few significant Muslim intellectuals to contemplate a future for a mystical approach to Islam without traditional Sufism.
