Overview

In the seventh century, a mystical approach to losing self and attaining unity with Allah arose within Islam. This approach became known as Sufism. These 11 key texts span the historical and geographic spread of this inward-focused movement within Islam. Explore Indian, Arabian, Moroccan, Egyptian, Spanish, and Persian Islamic writings in this collection of devotional and theological works from highly influential Sufi Muslim scholars. Individual volumes are also filled with examples from the later Sufi renaissance in the thirteenth century AD.

These carefully curated examples of Islamic spirituality are important for the study of world religions and missional strategy, as well as comparative religion.
