This book presents a thematic collection of hagiographical stories
of Sufi saints, often referred to as friends of Gods. Despite the
diverse wealth of Sufi works, much of the rich, global and
centuries old literature of Sufi warrior-saints, has yet to be
translated into English. Examining hagiographical depictions of
Sufi mujahids, Neale corrects frequent misunderstandings of the
term jihad in relation to Sufi thought and practice. Using Sufi
hagiography, treatises, travel narratives and Muslim histories,
each chapter comprises the lives of Sufi saints during significant
historical events, from the Crusades to the Mongol Invasion and in
regions ranging from Islamic Spain to North Africa and India. Using
Persian and Arabic sources, this compendium of translated
hagiographies gives us a sense of the range, themes and global
dissemination of the Sufi literature on war and heroism.
