Sufis and Anti-Sufis: The Defence, Rethinking and Rejection of Sufism in the Modern World - Routledge Sufi Series 1st edition
Sirriyeh, Elizabeth (University of Leeds, UK)
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.
