Author's Message

Understanding Sufism requires more than studying its history—it involves exploring its beliefs, rituals, ethical values, and spiritual practices that have shaped generations.

Detailed Description

SUFISM in SUDAN: Historical Study – Doctrine, Rituals and Practice, 1504–2024 (Vol. 2) provides a comprehensive academic examination of the theological foundations, devotional rituals, and spiritual practices that have characterized Sudanese Sufism for more than five centuries.

The book explores the essential principles of Sufi doctrine, including spiritual purification, remembrance of God (Dhikr), discipleship, ethical discipline, and the relationship between the spiritual guide (Sheikh) and the disciple (Murid). It explains how these traditions have influenced religious education, community life, and the preservation of Islamic values throughout Sudan.

Drawing upon historical records and scholarly research, Dr. Abdulgalil A. Salih traces the development of Sufi rituals and their adaptation to changing social and historical contexts between 1504 and 2024. The study also highlights the role of Sufi institutions in promoting spirituality, moral education, cultural continuity, and social cohesion.

Designed for researchers, students, and readers interested in Islamic studies, African history, and comparative religion, this volume serves as an important reference for understanding the enduring legacy of Sufism in Sudan.
