Short description:
Hadhrami Sufism revisted. A history of the Ban? ?Alaw?sof Hadhrawt, Yemen, this study charts the evolution of their spiritual tradition from its early premodern origins, exploring the spiritual life of this Arabian hinterland, while overturning our academic knowledge of its scholarly culture through a careful examination of its contributions to the intellectual legacy of philosphical Sufism.
MoreLong description:
While a considerable scholary literature exists on the the Ban? ?Alaw? s?da?s Indian Ocean diaspora and their more recent history in Hadhramawt, their premodern origins remain poorly understood, with lingering concerns surrounding the reliablity of available sources on their formative history in the valley. This social and intellectual history addresses that lacuna by closely re-examining the available primary sources, charting the evolution of the s?da?s Sufi tradition from its early 10th century origins up to the late 16th century. In doing so, it reveals that far from reflecting a provincialist phenomenon, Hadhrami Sufism remained well-integrated within the intellectual and spiritual currents of Western Yemen and the Hejaz, exhibiting a sophisticated intellectual engagement with the wider legacy of philosophical Sufism, while retaining its own distinctive features that were equally shaped by the unique and recurring challenges of its social and political mileu.
