Global Sufism
Sufism has become a global phenomenon. As a result, new forms have developed inside, and in particular outside, the Muslim world that differ from the traditional structures. Many scholars versed in classical Sufism have been dismissive of the modern and Western New Age ‘esotericism’ that parades under the name of Sufism with little or no regard for its Islamic basis. This collection of papers, however, takes these phenomena seriously as expressio…

Ibadism and law in historical contexts
Not Sunnis and not Shi’is, the Ibāḍī Muslims of Oman and some areas of North Africa form a “third branch” of Islam, with their own version of the Sharīʿa law. The development of this law displays many interconnections with the political history of the Ibāḍīs, which spanned from an independent sultanate in Oman, through minority status under Sunni rule in Tunisia and Libya, to isolated desert communities in Algerian Sahara. This article gives an o…

Religious Revolts in Colonial North Africa
The resistance to imperial expansion could often be based in religious movements, and in the Muslim world there are several examples of resistance based around Sufi orders. This paper discussed two such cases. In Algeria, ‘Abd al-Qadir based his resistance to the French invasion (1832–47) partly on his legitimacy as a Sufi shaykh, but this had little impact on the organizational form of his combat. The Sanusi resistance to the Italians in Libya (…

Sufi and Scholar on the Desert Edge. Muhammad ben 'Ali al-Sanusi and His Brotherhood
The Sanusiya was one of the most influential Islamic movements in North Africa and the Sahara in the nineteenth century. It organised the Beduin of the desert and desert fringes into a Sufi movement that combined religious piety with trade. Later, it played a key role in the resistance to French and Italian colonialism. The basis of the movement was laid by the Maghrebi scholar Muhammad b. Ali al-Sanusi (1787-1859), who saw his task as being to a…

Between God and the Sultan
The contrast between religion and law has been continuous throughout Muslim history. Islamic law has always existed in a tension between these two forces: God, who gave the law, and the state--the sultan--representing society and implementing the law. This tension and dynamic have created a very particular history for the law--in how it was formulated and by whom, in its theoretical basis and its actual rules, and in how it was practiced in histo…
