The Mystics of Islam: Sufism

By Reynold Alleyne Nicholson

Book Overview

"Mystics of Islam" is one of the earlier works to ever treat upon the subject of magic and practices within the Sufi context. As a broad academic overview, it nonetheless delves deep into the subject. From the whirling dervishes to the concept of fana and far more, Sufi spirituality is here detailed, differentiated from main-line islamic theology, and its historical basis and then-modern materials expounded upon from the days of its birth through the early 20th century.
