Sufism in Ottoman Damascus: Religion, Magic, and the Eighteenth-Century Networks of the Holy: Routledge Sufi Series
Autor Nikola Pantićen Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 sep 2023
This book highlights considerable overlaps between Sufis and ʿulamā’ with state appointments in early modern Province of Damascus, arguing for the possibility of sociologically defining a Muslim priestly sodality, a group of religious authorities and wonder-workers responsible for Sunni orthodoxy in the Ottoman Empire. The Sufi-ʿulamā’ were integral to Ottoman networks of the holy, networks of grace that comprised of hallowed individuals, places, and natural objects.
Sufism in Ottoman Damascus sheds new light on the appropriate scholarly approach to historical studies of Sufism in the Ottoman Empire, revising its position in official early modern versions of Ottoman Sunnism. This book further reapproaches early modern Sunni beliefs in wonders and wonder-working, as well as the relationship between religion, thaumaturgy, and magic in Ottoman Sunni Islam, historical themes comparable to other religions and other parts of the world.

Recenzii
"This book probes directly and robustly the relations between official state religion, Muslim jurisprudence and magical practices as they actually occurred, untroubled by common clichés found in both contemporary sources and in modern scholarship."
Aziz Al-Azmeh, Central European University
"This book is a vivid contribution to the study of thaumaturgy and magic in Ottoman Islam. In eighteenth-century Damascus, Sufism was recognized by Sunni Muslims as producing wonders. Based on a thorough analysis of baraka conceived as praeternatural grace, it sheds original light on charismatic power in religion, but also in political life. Nikola Pantic’s book should be read by all those interested the power of extraordinary phenomena to regulate the sacred."

Descriere
This book analyzes thaumaturgical beliefs and practices prevalent among Muslims in eighteenth-century Ottoman Syria. The study focuses on historical beliefs in baraka, which religious authorities often interpreted as Allah's grace, and the alleged Sufi-ulamaic role in distributing it to Ottoman subjects.
