About the Book: Sufism and Shari’ah is a study of the religious thought of an outstanding Sufi and a great renovator of Islam, Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi (d. 1034/1624). But more than that it is an investigation into the relation of Sufism with Prophetic Islam, not only in the light of the ideas of Shaykh Sirhindi but also of many great leaders of Sufism and founders of Sufi orders. It distinguishes between the Sufism which has a place in Islam, and that which does not. The view of Sufism which has been elaborated in the book is sure to call for a revision of the image of Sufism which has emerged from the study of the subject over more than a century.
