This course is an introduction to Islamic spirituality with a focus on Sufism, often referred to as the "mystical" tradition of Islam. It offers a historical and topical survey of the tradition's foundational beliefs, practices, and diverse expressions. The course will examine the rise of Sufi orders, the experiential dimension of Sufism, "theosophical" Sufism, and, finally, the contribution of Sufism to the Islamic arts and literatures. |
