About this title

Synopsis

The Sufi tradition, commonly associated with the Whirling Dervishes and the poetry Rumi, is introduced here in a new guide.
William C. Chittick offers insight into the origins, context, and key themes of this movement. After a general overview of the tradition, he draws upon the words of some of the greatest Sufi writers - among them Ibn Arabi, Beha Walad and Rumi - to give a perspective on the teachings and beliefs of Sufism and its proponents. Areas covered include the history and growth of Sufism, and its relationship to Islam; the mystical and spiritual properties of music and dance; the qualities of Sufi writing, with many examples; the beliefs, practices and philosophies of Sufism as seen through the eyes of several major figures; and Sufism in the modern world.
This book will be appreciated by anyone interested in Sufism, from those who know nothing about it to students, scholars and experts alike.
