Re-centering the Sufi Shrine : A Metaphysics of Presence Hardback
by Irfan Moeen Khan
Part of the Islamkundliche Untersuchungen series
Hardback
Description
Recentering the Sufi Shrine is a study of ritual, Sufi eschatology, and vernacular theopoetics of pilgrimage to Sufi shrines in the Indus region of Pakistan.
The book examines the distinction between two different ritual contestations over pilgrimage to Sufi tombs: (1) an exposition of Tariqa-i Muhammadiyya's millenarian Scripturalist reform of Sufism, and (2) Bulleh Shah's (d. 1767) vernacular Sufism, a hard-hitting Sufi-poet of textual ("bookish") knowledge of religious scholars.
This is the first work examining the legal theology of ritual intervention in using scripture to regulate the resurrected bodies of saints, on the one hand, and the ritual metaphysics of presence in understanding the significance and meaning of Sufi shrines, on the other.
