The Requirements of the Sufi Path: A Defense of the Mystical Tradition by Ibn Kh

Description: The Requirements of the Sufi Path by Ibn Khaldūn, Carolyn Baugh, JesÚs R. Velasco Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Sufism through the eyes of a legal scholarIn The Requirements of the Sufi Path, the renowned North African historian and jurist Ibn Khaldn applies his analytical powers to Sufism, which he deems a bona fide form of Islamic piety. Ibn Khaldn is widely known for his groundbreaking work as a sociologist and historian, in particular for the Muqaddimah, the introduction to his massive universal history. In The Requirements of the Sufi Path, he writes from the perspective of an Islamic jurist and legal scholar. He characterizes Sufism and the stages along the Sufi path and takes up the question of the need for a guide along that path. In doing so, he relies on the works of influential Sufi scholars, including al-Qushayr, al-Ghazl, and Ibn al-Khab. Even as Ibn Khaldn warns of the extremes to which some Sufis go—including practicing magic—his work is essentially a legal opinion, a fatwa, asserting the inherent validity of the Sufi path.The Requirements of the Sufi Path incorporates the wisdom of three of Sufisms greatest voices as well as Ibn Khaldns own insights, acquired through his intellectual encounters with Sufism and his broad legal expertise. All this he brings to bear on the debate over Sufi practices in a remarkable work of synthesis and analysis.An English-only edition. Author Biography Ibn Khaldn (d. 808/1406) was a Tunisian-born scholar, jurist, sociologist, and historian, best known for his influential work on history, The Book of Lessons (Kitb al-Ibar), and the prolegomenon to that work, the Muqaddimah.
