The Book and the Roses: Sufi Women, Visibility and Zikir in Contemporary Istanbul - In Association with the Swedish Research Institute in Istanbul S.
Catharina Raudvere
Sufism is Islam's principal mystical tradition, perceived as largely occupied by men. This book reveals the place of women in Sufi spiritual tradition and practice, particularly at the zikir prayer. Concentrating on Sufi women living in Istanbul, it effectively examines Islam as a lived practice.
