In the period c. 1880-1940, organized Sufism spread rapidly in the
western Indian Ocean. New communities turned to Islam, and Muslim
communities turned to new texts, practices and religious leaders.
On the East African coast, the orders were both a vehicle for
conversion to Islam and for reform of Islamic practice. The impact
of Sufism on local communities is here traced geographically as a
ripple reaching beyond the Swahili cultural zone southwards to
Mozambique, Madagascar and Cape Town. Through an investigation of
the texts, ritual practices and scholarly networks that went
alongside Sufi expansion, this book places religious change in the
western Indian Ocean within the wider framework of Islamic reform.
