Despite its continuing appeal in the Muslim world, Sufism has faced
fierce challenges in the last 250 years. This volume assesses the
evolution of anti-Sufism since the middle of the eighteenth century
and Sufi strategies for survival. It also considers the efforts of
a few significant Muslim intellectuals to contemplate a future for
a mystical approach to Islam without traditional Sufism. Many
studies of Islam in the modern period have focused on the attempts
of Muslim 'modernists' or 'fundamentalists' to come to terms with
western modernity, and Sufis have often been marginalised in the
process. Elizabeth Sirriyeh redresses this neglect by assigning to
Sufism a central place in the broader history of Islam in the
modern world and by examining how changing understandings of
Sufism's role in modern conditions have affected Muslims of all
shades of opinion.
