Contemplating Sufism : Dialogue and Tradition Across Southeast Asia

A Book Sharing session by Dr. Khairudin Aljunied

Contemplating Sufism: Dialogue and Tradition across Southeast Asia is an upcoming book by Khairudin Aljunied that explores the factors and forces that have enabled Islam to assert and embed itself in Southeast Asia. Using a unique “contemplative histories” methodology, Khairudin Aljunied reveals multiple undercurrents that continue to influence Sufi thought and practices. The book argues that the Sufis employed creative and spirited dialogues with themselves and those they encountered to sustain their importance in Southeast Asia for many centuries. Contemplating Sufism is filled with vignettes and anecdotes of Southeast Asian Sufism, including the author's ethnographic observations and personal experiences living and learning about Sufism.
