Muslim Communities Of Grace.
Since The Eighteenth Century, Adherence To Sufism, The Mystical Transfer Of Islam, Has Been Aseociated With Membership In One Of The Sufi Brotherhoods.
These Brotherhoods Constitute Distinct Religious Communities Within The General Community Of Islam.
Jamil M.
Abun-nasr Describes Them As "communities Of Grace" Because His Readings In Sufi Hagiographies Have Convinced Him That Divine Grace Is The Central Element Of Their System Of Beliefs.
In His Reconstruction Of The Development Of The Sufi Tradition, Abun-nasr Examines The Emergence Of Sufism's Central Tenets And The Factors That Account Concerning Their Appeal To Muslims In Different Lands.
Drawing On Original Sufi Sources, He Contends That, In Their Formative Period, Sufi Tenets Were Shaped By The Caliphs' Inability To Live Up To The Ideal The Prophet Represented In The Muslim Community: That Political Leadership Was A Subordinate Function Of Religious Guieance.
He Also Contends That The Sufi Brotherhoods' Form Of Religious Communalism Emerged From The Adaptation Of The Spiritual Authority That Sufis Ascribed To Their Leaders To The Muslims' Major Pious Concerns.
In The Last Two Chapters Abun-nasr Examines The Reaction Of The Sufi Brotherhoods' Shaykhs ToE uropean Colonial Govern, The Campaign Difected Against Them From Muslim Reformer sOf The Salafiyya School, And The Reliance Of The Independent Muslim States' Rulers On Their Support In Counteracting The Hostility Of The Muslim Refomers, Like Well As, Since The 1970s, The Islamists, To Their Secular Growth Plans.
