Synopsis

What if much of what you have heard about Sufism is only part of the story?

Is Taṣawwuf (Sufism) truly rooted in Islam, or is it a later innovation? Did the great scholars of Sunni Islam reject it, or did they recognize it as a legitimate path of spiritual purification?

In Taṣawwuf: The Misunderstood Tradition, Cherif Fadel Aidara goes beyond modern polemics and returns to the Qur’an, Sunnah, and the writings of Islam’s classical scholars.

Through the testimony of figures such as Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, al-Nawawī, Ibn Ḥajar, al-Dhahabī, Ibn Kathīr, Ibn al-Qayyim, al-Qurṭubī, ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī, and Ibn Taymiyya, the book explores what Taṣawwuf historically represented and where the classical scholars drew the line between authentic spirituality and excess.

Special attention is given to Ibn Taymiyya’s relationship with Sufism and the Qādirī tradition, as well as major controversies surrounding ṭarīqa, dhikr, bayʿa, tawassul, tabarruk, wilāya, karāmāt, ilhām, and kashf.

At its heart, this is a book about purifying the soul, remembering Allah, cultivating sincerity, and pursuing iḥsān.

Before Taṣawwuf is defended or condemned, it deserves to be understood.
