Ḥasan b. Ê¿AlÄ« al-Ê¿UjaymÄ«âs (d. 1113/1702) KhabÄyÄ al-zawÄyÄ âSecrets of the Lodgesâ & RisÄla fÄ« á¹uruq al-ṣūfiyya âTreatise on Sufi Ordersâ
The distinguished position of the seventeenth-century ḤijÄz attracted Sufis from across the Islamic world, making it the largest Sufi center of that era, with more than forty Sufi orders active during the Ottoman period. Most of the regionâs many scholars were associated with Sufism and affiliated to these orders; their lives and Sufi activities more broadly were documented by one of their number, al-Ê¿UjaymÄ«, in two texts. These texts, critically edited here for the first time, constitute some of the best evidence for the character of spiritual life in the ḤijÄz during the seventeenth and early eighteenth century.
Naser Dumairieh, Ph.D. (2018), McGill University, researches post-classical Islamic theology and Sufism. He has published on the intellectual history of the Ottoman ḤijÄz, including Intellectual Life in the ḤijÄz before Wahhabism (Brill, 2021), and critical editions including al-BarzanjÄ«âs al-JÄdhib al-ghaybÄ«.
