This study reveals the world of Sufi ritual with particular
reference to two major Sufi orders. It examines the ritual and
practices of these orders and surveys their organisation and
hierarchy, initiation ceremonies, and aspects of their liturgy such
as dhikr (litany) and sama (mystical concert). Comparisons are made
with the five pillars of Islam (arkan), and the Sufi rituals,
together with the arkan, are examined from the perspective of
theology, phenomenology, anthropology and semiotics. The work
concludes with an examination of the Sufi in the context of
alienation. This is a major work which highlights the importance of
Sufi ritual and locates it within the broader domain of the Islamic
world.
