Sufis and Salafis in the Contemporary Age explores the dynamics at
play between what are usually understood as two very different
forms of Islam, namely Sufism and Salafism. Sufism is commonly
understood as the peaceful and mystical dimension of Islam whereas
Salafism is perceived as strictly pietistic and moralist, and for
some it conjures up images of violent manifestations of Islam. Of
course these generalisations require more nuanced investigation,
and this book provides a number of case studies from around the
Islamic world to unpack the intricate relationship between the two.
The diversity of the case studies that focus on Islamic groups in
India, Iraq, Egypt, Morocco, Turkey and South East Europe reflect
the multiplicity of relationships that exist between the Salafis
and Sufis. The specific case studies are framed by an introduction
that provides essential historical background and definitions of
the terms, and also by general studies of the Sufi-Salafi
relationship which enable the reader to focus on the large picture.
This will be the first book to investigate the relationship between
Sufism and Salafism in such a wide fashion, and includes chapters
on "traditional" Sufis, as well as from those who consider that
Sufism and Salafism are not necessarily contradictory.
