Shi'i Islam and Sufism: Classical Views and Modern Perspectives: Shi'i Heritage Series

Editat de Denis Hermann, Mathieu Terrier
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 dec 2019
I.B. Tauris in association with the Institute of Ismaili StudiesOffering new perspectives on the relationship between Shi'is and Sufis in modern and pre-modern times, this book challenges the supposed opposition between these two esoteric traditions in Islam by exploring what could be called "Shi'i Sufism" and "Sufi-oriented Shi'ism" at various points in history. The chapters are based on new research in textual studies as well as fieldwork from a broad geographical areas including the Indian subcontinent, Anatolia and Iran. Covering a long period stretching from the early post-Mongol centuries, throughout the entire Safawid era (906-1134/1501-1722) and beyond, it is concerned not only with the sphere of the religious scholars but also with different strata of society. The first part of the volume looks at the diversity of the discourse on Sufism among the Shi'i "ulama" in the run up to and during the Safawid period. The second part focuses on the social and intellectual history of the most popular Shi'i Sufi order in Iran, the Ni'mat Allahiyya. The third part examines the relationship between Shi'ism and Sufism in the little-explored literary traditions of the Alevi-Bektashi and the Khaksariyya Sufi order. With contributions from leading scholars in Shi'ism and Sufism Studies, the book is the first to reveal the mutual influences and connections between Shi'ism and Sufism, which until now have been little explored.

Recenzii

The edited volume, Shi'i Islam and Sufism: Classical Views and Modern Perspectives offers new, powerful insights into the long-debated issue regarding the intellectual interactions and mutual influences occurring between Shi'i Islam and Sufi doctrines and practices. Despite the long-standing and extensive body of studies on Sufism and the considerable progresses made over the past few decades in the field of Shi'i Studies, the mutual relationship between Imami Shi'ism and Sufism has been little explored. The present work, thanks to the contributions of some amongst the most renowned scholars in the field of both Sufism and Shi'ism, effectively contributes to build a comprehensive historical picture of these two major currents within Islam, both from a textual and doctrinal point of view. Moreover, by probing political, historical, doctrinal and sociological developments, this volume offers a systematic exploration of the Shi'i-Sufi relationship. This is attained by looking, inter alia, at the social history of Shi'i-Sufi brotherhoods such as the Ni'matullahiyya, and by analyzing the way the relations between Shi'ism and Sufism have been depicted and perceived in other literary Sufi traditions. Particularly significant is that the present volume also seeks to examine the nature and advance of alternative literature to anti-Sufi discourses in Shi'i pre-modern and modern works.
