Sufism in Eighteenth-Century India

This book explores the convergence and interrelation of the text of N-la-yi -Andal-b with its context. It considers the development of the notion of the -ar-qa-yi Müammadiyya as an intellectual achievement in the history of ideas in Islam generally and also as an important part of Sufism in South Asia.
