Sufism and Early Islamic Piety : Personal and Communal Dynamics offers a new story
about the formative period of Sufism. Through a fresh reading of diverse Sufi and
non-Sufi sources, Arin Salamah-Qudsi reveals the complexity of personal and communal
aspects of Sufi piety in the period between the ninth and thirteenth centuries. Her
study also sheds light on the interrelationships and conflicts of early Sufis through
emphasising that early Sufism was neither a quietist or a completely individual mode
of piety. Salamah-Qudsi reveals how the early Sufis' commitment to the Islamic ideal
of family life lead to different creative arrangements among them in order to avoid
contradictions with this ideal and the mystical ideal of solitary life. Her book enables
a deeper understanding of the development of Sufism in light of the human concerns
and motivations of its founders
