This was a heated debate in fourteenth century Andalusia that\u003cbr\u003e\nextended beyond the confines of Sufi circles. Ibn Khaldun (d. 808\/1406), the\u003cbr\u003e\ncelebrated fourteenth century social theorist and historian, ventured into this\u003cbr\u003e\ndebate with a treatise that is as relevant today as it was then. Ibn Khaldun on\u003cbr\u003e\nSufism: Remedy for the Questioner in Search of Answers is the first ever\u003cbr\u003e\ntranslation into English of this treatise-Shifa al-Sa il li-Tahdhib al-Masa il.\u003cbr\u003e\nThough Ibn Khaldun is renowned for his seminal works, the Muqaddima and the\u003cbr\u003e\nThar, which are considered milestones in the fields of medieval sociology and\u003cbr\u003e\nthe philosophy of history, little is known about his religious and spiritual\u003cbr\u003e\nlife. In her introduction to Ibn Khaldun on Sufism, Dr Yumna Özer seeks to\u003cbr\u003e\nrestore Ibn Khaldun and his work to the context from which his theories arose,\u003cbr\u003e\nboth in intellectual and religious terms; she also draws a vivid painting of\u003cbr\u003e\nSufism in the fourteenth century and rethinks Ibn Khaldun s relationship with\u003cbr\u003e\nSufism. The translation itself addresses the dichotomies or synergies between\u003cbr\u003e\nreligious law and the Sufi path, the roles played by jurists, and that played\u003cbr\u003e\nby Sufis, and the particular position of the Sufi shaykh or spiritual master.\u003cbr\u003e\nIbn Khaldun on Sufism: Remedy for the Questioner in Search of Answers provides\u003cbr\u003e\na rare glimpse into the world of the fourteenth century legists and Sufis and\u003cbr\u003e\ninto Ibn Khaldun s own spiritual life and thought.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YUMNA OZER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44245250244668,"sku":"9789696402084","price":719.2,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/97896964020841.jpg?v=1776800635","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/ibn-khaldun-on-sufism-remedy-for-the-questioner-in-search-of-answers","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
