This book examines the theological, philosophical and Islamic mystical dimensions of the Suhraward� sufi order from the 13th to 15th centuries. The Suhraward�s were a legally grounded and intellectually vibrant sufi order whose mystical path was based on exchanges and debates on the Qur'an and on the Prophet's customs.
