Books by Moin Ahmad (Senior Research Fellow Nizami

This book examines the traditions, rituals, experiences, and legacy of the Sabri branch of the Chishti order. Challenging the notion of Sufism as an ossified relic of the past, it presents evidence of growing interaction, accommodation, and intermingling within Sufi orders. It also highlights the active involvement of the Chishti-Sabris in the much discussed reformist upsurge in north India and explains how they addressed questions posedby colonial rule while still adhering to their mystical heritage.
