内容説明

The great Sufi mystics of Islam drew their inspiration from direct, ecstatic communication with God, and were therefore seen to be gifted with divine, even miraculous powers of intercession and healing. Eventually, their graves or the places associated with them became important places of pilgrimage, attracting the people of many faiths. For the Muslim devotee, the saint often become a close substitute for the prophet Muhammad. The aim of this study is to provide students of religious and South Asian studies with a definition of the role of the Sufi mystics in Islam. The text places Mu'in al-Din in a historical context and attempts to disentangle the Mu'in of history from the legendary creation of later chronicles.
