Often described as the soul of Islam, Sufism is one of the most
interesting yet least known facet of this global religion. Sufism
is the softer more inclusive and mystical form of Islam. Although
militant Islamists dominate the headlines, the Sufi ideal has
captured the imagination of many. Nowhere in the world is the
handprint of Sufism more observable than South Asia, which has the
largest Muslim population of the world, but also the greatest
concentration of Sufis. This book examines active Sufi communities
in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh that shed light on the devotion,
and deviation, and destiny of Sufism in South Asia. Drawn from
extensive work by indigenous and international scholars, this
ethnographical study explores the impact of Iran on the development
of Sufi thought and practice further east, and also discusses
Sufism in diaspora in such contexts as the UK and North America and
Iran's influence on South Asian Sufism.
