"It has been argued that the mystical Sufi form of Islam is the most sensitive to
other cultures, being accommodative to other traditions and generally tolerant to
peoples of other faiths. It readily becomes integrated into local cultures and they
are similarly often infused into Sufism. Examples of this reciprocity are commonly
reflected in Sufi poetry, music, hagiographic genres, memoires, and in the ritualistic
practices of Sufi traditions. This volume shows how this often-side-lined tradition
functions in the societies in which it is found, and demonstrates how it relates to
mainstream Islam. The focus of this book ranges from reflecting Sufi themes in the
Qur'anic calligraphy to movies, from ideals to everyday practices, from legends to
actual history, from gender segregation to gender transgression, and from legalism
to spiritualism. Consequently, the international panel of contributors to this volume
are trained in a range of disciplines that include religious studies, history, comparative
literature, anthropology, and ethnography. Covering Southeast Asia to West Africa
as well as South Asia and the West, they address both historical and contemporary
issues, shedding light on Sufism's adaptability. This book sets aside conventional
methods of understanding Islam, such as theological, juridical, and philosophical,
in favour of analysing its cultural impact. As such, it will be of great interest
to all scholars of Islamic Studies, the Sociology of Religion, Religion and Media,
as well as Religious Studies and Area Studies more generally"
