| Opplysninger | " Islamic Spirituality: Theology and Practice for the Modern World examines and explores the inner dimensions of Islam, Islamic spirituality. Major sources of religious authority in Islam, the Qurʼan and Hadith are examined, as well as the writings of important figures in the historical development of Islamic spirituality. Both classical Sufis and Sufism are explored as well as contemporary mystics. Key figures discussed include medieval Islamic theologian Al-Ghazali (d.1111), and Said Nursi (d.1960), arguably one of the most important contemporary theologians in relation to Islamic spirituality. Discussing Sufi traditions both historical and contemporary allows the author to ground esoteric classical Sufi texts in contemporary ideas and practices. Exploring spirituality in relation to key contemporary issues such as ecology, Zeki Saritoprak demonstrates how, when and where Muslims can practice Islamic spirituality in the Modern world. Providing an overview of the intellectual and theological basis of Islamic spirituality, and including the author's own translations of a selection of key texts, this volume is ideal reading for courses on Islamic spirituality and Islamic mysticism.
