This social and intellectual history addresses that lacuna by closely re-examining the available primary sources, charting the evolution of the \u003ci\u003esāda\u003c\/i\u003e's Sufi tradition from its early 10th century origins up to the late 16th century. In doing so, it reveals that far from reflecting a provincialist phenomenon, Hadhrami Sufism remained well-integrated within the intellectual and spiritual currents of western Yemen and the Hejaz, exhibiting a sophisticated intellectual engagement with the wider legacy of philosophical Sufism, while retaining its own distinctive features that were equally shaped by the unique and recurring challenges of its social and political mileu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Omar Edaibat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004749063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004749061\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Omar Edaibat","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47965442605311,"sku":"9789004749061","price":168.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c7bc54a-330c-4447-86a4-2ae563b7b086.jpg?v=1767280602","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-b-alaw-sufis-of-omar-edaibat-9789004749061","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
