- Synopsis
- Followed by many millions of Muslims throughout the world, Sufism is the heart of Islamic spirituality. However, not only is there still in the West a widespread ignorance of Islam and Sufism, there is also, thanks to the &“Islamic&” terrorists, a widespread hostility. This book offers a succinct, yet comprehensive overview of Sufism&’s fundamental doctrines and spiritual practices. Stoddart highlights Sufism&’s intricate symbolism and explains the central role of the invocation of the Name of God in Sufi spiritual practice. An appendix includes central Koranic, Prophetic, and traditional Sufi sayings.
