| Abstract
|
:
|
The Journeys of a Taymiyyan Sufi examines the life and doctrine of �Im�ad al-D�in A�hmad al-W�asi�t�i (d. 711/1311), a little-known �Hanbal�i Sufi master from the circle of Ibn Taymiyya (d. 728/1328). The first part of this book follows al-W�asi�t�i's physical journey in search of spiritual guidance through a critical study of his autobiographical writings. This provides unique insights into several important manifestations of Sufism that he encountered as he travelled from W�asi�t to Baghdad, Alexandria, Cairo, and finally, Damascus. The second part focuses on his spiritual journey through a study of his Sufi writings, which convey a distinct type of Sufism that was specifically formulated within the boundaries of traditionalist theology as he understood it.
