The book argues that Western Sufism is not just a modern New Age trend but has deep roots going back to the Abbasid period, shaped by interactions between Islamic spirituality and Western philosophical traditions. It traces this evolution through medieval, early modern, and modern periods, showing how Sufi ideas were reinterpreted in Europe and later integrated into movements emphasizing universal spirituality, psychology, and esotericism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"658\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAuthor: \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"author notFaded\" data-width=\"\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"a-link-normal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Mark-Sedgwick\/e\/B001IXOEIW\/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1\"\u003eMark Sedgwick\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"658\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"author notFaded\" data-width=\"\"\u003ePages: 350\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Books Mind","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54002751013148,"sku":null,"price":1200.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/9736\/4508\/files\/WhatsAppImage2026-03-26at4.43.51PM_1_58804bd6-d69f-49d9-9520-84de07a3ab8d.jpg?v=1774526316","url":"https:\/\/www.booksminds.com\/products\/western-sufism-from-the-abbasids-to-the-new-age","provider":"Books Mind","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
