Sufism and Politics

Exploring the political dimensions of Sufism, this volume examines its dual role as both a spiritual outlook and a social institution within Muslim societies. It highlights Sufism's influence on the societal and theological aspects of Islam throughout history, addressing themes such as charismatic authority, state relations, and the politics of sainthood. The collection of articles encourages new scholarly reflections on Sufism's adaptability to political changes and its significant contributions to ongoing debates about the intersection of politics and religion in Islam.
