Sufism

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapter

Abstract

![CDATA[The historical authenticity of Sufism is based upon the human experience of certain Muslim pious charismatics, with the mystic label being a later medieval denotation. Sufism may be approached in three ways: as a cultural catalyst for localized religious identities, as a sociopolitical force exploring the underlying tension between agency and structure, and as ontology, relating to the social–psychological aspects of Sufism in the Islamic experience.]]
