Sufism, the mystical or aesthetic doctrine in Islam, has occupied a
very specific place in the Islamic tradition, with its own history,
literature and devotional practices. Its development began in the
seventh century, almost immediately after the early conquests, and
spread throughout the Islamic world. The Cambridge Companion to
Sufism traces its evolution from the formative period to the
present, addressing specific themes along the way within the
context of the times. In section discussing the early period, the
devotional practices of the earliest Sufis are considered. The
section on the medieval period, when Sufism was at its height,
examines Sufi doctrines, different forms of mysticism and the
antinomian expressions of Sufism. The section on the modern period
explains the controversies that surrounded Sufism, the changes that
took place in the colonial period and how Sufism transformed into a
transnational movement in the twentieth century. This inimitable
volume sheds light on a multifaceted and alternative aspect of
Islamic history and religion.
