Sufism and Politics in the North Caucasus
In: Nationalities papers: the journal of nationalism and ethnicity, Band 29, Heft 4, S. 661-688
ISSN: 1465-3923
After the collapse of communism in Russia, which is the home of more than 14 million Muslims, there has been an Islamic revival that has been part of the process of political and intellectual liberalization of society. The major Islamic enclaves of the Russian Federation are located in the Volga-Urals, the North Caucasus, and central Russia. Russian Muslims are concentrated in the eight autonomous republics of Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Adyghea, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia, Ingushetia, Dagestan, and Chechnya. Most Muslims belong to theHanafi madhhab(the juridical school) of Sunni Islam, although Dagestani and Chechen Muslims adhere to theShafii madhhabof Sunni Islam. There is also a small Shia community in southern Dagestan. A large number of Dagestanis, as well as Chechens and Ingushes, profess Sufism—a mystical form of Islam, which is also known as parallel Islam.

Devotion to the Prophet and His Family in Egyptian Sufism
In: International journal of Middle East studies: IJMES, Band 24, Heft 4, S. 615-637
ISSN: 1471-6380
Scholary works on Sufism have been almost entirely concerned with the classical textual tradition and have given scant attention to the contemporary practice of Sufism. Such Studies as have been done in Egypt inadequately reflect actual popular beliefs and practices by exhibiting tendencies either to interpret contemporary sufism in light of classical Sufism,to dismiss popular Sufism as a degradation of "true" Sufism,or to conclude, in light of the presentation of Sufism propagated by the Supreme Council of Sufi Orders, that there is nothing that distinguishes contemporary Sufism from any other branch of Islam.Contemporary Sufism must be studied as a complete system, not merely a degradation of another system. It developed from classical Sufism but is not identical with it, and offers a world view and rituals that distinguish it from other Islamic currents. The centrality of devotion to the Prophet and his family is one aspect of Egyptian Sufi religious life that distinguishes it from that of other Egyptian Muslims, and bears interesting
parallels to Shicism, perhaps providing evidence for what Marshall Hodgson called "the moulding of Islam as a whole in a ShiStic direction."4 This article will document and analyze devotion to the Prophet and the ahl al-bayt and its associated beliefs in Egyptian Sufism, and compare them with their analogues in ShiSsrn.

The tariqa on a landcruiser: The resurgence of Sufism in Yemen
In: The Middle East journal, Band 55, Heft 3, S. 399-414
ISSN: 0026-3141
In der relativ freien politischen Atmosphäre nach der Vereinigung der beiden jemenitischen Staaten hat sich eine intensive öffentliche Debatte über die Zukunft des Landes und die religiös-politische Identität entfaltet. Der Beitrag erklärt das Wiederaufleben des Sufismus im Jemen im Kontext dieser gesellschaftlichen Debatte und stellt die Sufi-Gemeinschaft von Tarim (Hadramaut), die Dank ihres charismatischen Führers 'Umar Habib bekannt und populär geworden ist, exemplarisch vor.
