Description

This scholarly work examines the foundational biographical collections that shaped Sufi historiography and religious thought. The book provides essential literary context for understanding the theological significance and historical importance of Sufi biographical traditions, tracing the development of the tabaqat genre from al-Sulami through to Jami. Readers gain insight into how these biographical narratives functioned as vehicles for preserving spiritual knowledge, documenting the lives of influential Sufi masters, and establishing the intellectual lineage of Islamic mysticism. The study bridges literary analysis with religious history, offering both specialists in Islamic studies and general readers a comprehensive exploration of how biographical writing became central to Sufi intellectual culture. Published by Routledge as part of their established Asian Religion series, this book serves as a critical resource for understanding the intersection of biography, theology, and historical documentation in Islamic scholarship.
