The Rise of the Ni‘matullahi i Order: Shi'ite Sufi Masters against Islamic Fundamentalism in 19th-Century Persia: Iranian Studies Series
Autor Reza Tabandehen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 mar 2021
Islamic mysticism experienced a remarkable revival in nineteenth-century fundamentalist Persia. Sparked by the return of the Sufi master Ma‘um Ali Shah from India, the Ni‘matullāhī Order rapidly spread throughout the region amid fierce opposition from Shi‘te clerics. Rise of the Ni‘matullāhī Order charts the movement’s unlikely rise across three generations of Sufi masters. Reza Tabandeh demonstrates how Ma‘um Ali Shah, Majdhub Ali Shah, and Mast Ali Shah sustained the revival by reinterpreting classical Sufi teachings for a Shi‘ite context.

Recenzii
“A valuable and accessible work on the revival of Sufism in nineteenth-century Iran. Tabandeh illustrates successfully the precarious efforts of Ni‘matullahi Sufis to carve out their space in the religious landscape of Iranian Twelver Shiism.”
“This insightful study is an astute and sensitive portrayal of one of the world’s most important repositories of esoteric Islam, the Ni‘atullahi Sufi order. Drawing upon an impressive range of sources, many still in manuscript form, Tabandeh paints a compelling and fascinating portrait of the history and spiritual traditions of this Shi‘i community of mystics.”
“The book offers a clear image of the Ni‘matullahi order’s migration, its revival and reformation, and its leaders’ political and religious involvement in Iranian society. . . . I would like to congratulate the author for his detailed research and studies of Sufism and providing original reference material for students, scholars and researchers in the field.”
