The soaring voice of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the ecstatic dance of the Whirling Dervishes, the rapturous verse of Jalaluddin Rumi—all are expressions of Sufism, often regarded as the mystical tradition of Islam. Who are the Sufis? They are more than mystics; they are empowered by the Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad. They are guided by saints and masters. They belong to orders ranging from North Africa and Turkey to India and Central Asia. In addition to prayer and fasting, they practice techniques of meditation. They recite poetry, delight in music, and perform dance, all towards one goal—union with God, the Divine Beloved. This comprehensive introduction clarifies the concept of Sufism and discusses its origin and development. In addition, the author discusses the important issues of Sufism's relationship with the larger Islamic world and its encounters with fundamentalism and modern secularism, along with the appropriation of Sufism by non-Muslims and the development of Sufi traditions in the West.… (mais)

A solid, readable introduction to Sufism. His dismissal of the idea of Sufis as a proselytizing vanguard was, to me, unexpected. It seems like Nile Green in "Sufism: A Global History" was pretty keen on that theory.

My only criticism is the structure felt a little sloppy at times, like his train of thought was frequently off the tracks. As readers we've been conditioned to expect (with good reason!) that ideas within a paragraph, for example, will be closely related to each other, and as the author moves from sentence to sentence to develop these ideas, they will flow from one into the other in a logical manner. I frequently found myself re-reading sections of this book because I felt Ernst was just going from one idea to the next – within a paragraph – with very little, if anything, threading them together.

All in all a good book, though, and I'd recommend it to someone interested in a serious but not stilted introduction to Sufism. ( )

This book can also be called Sufism 101. A very good introduction to this branch of Islam that is basically associated with Shia'ism since it's adherents follow the tenets of Ali and the Imams. Sufism is probably the only moderating factor in this otherwise widely misunderstood religion and may be the answer to solving it's centuries long confrontations with other faiths.
