If any one thing marks early modern history, it is religious transformation.Confessional and pietist movements, both European firsts, are prominent examples of such catalysts for change. 1 In large parts of the Islamic world in the 15 th and 16 th centuries, it was Sufi piety that carried the day.The historiographical record reveals strikingly new imaginaires and novel modes of connectivity to the past.The focus in this paper is on the manifold ways in which new forms of religiosity redefined the landscape of politics in the eastern Islamic world.It traces invocations of the past in Fakhr al-Dīn Kāshifī's (d.1532) Rashaḥāt 'ayn al-ḥayāt 2 (Sprinklings from the Fountain of Life), a 16 th -century collected biography of Naqshbandī Sufi masters, to argue that the classificatory schema adopted by the author reveals a template of secularity that marks a significant departure from past manners of adherence.1 On religious change rather than incremental secularism as the engine of change in early modern Europe, see Jonathan Sheehan, "Enlightenment, Religion and the Enigma of Secularization: A Review Essay
