Over the past few years, an increasing number of academic publications have
focused on the life and work of the Sufi master and theologian Abū l-Qāsim
‘Abd al-Karīm b. Hawāzim al-Qushayrī (d. 465/1072 in Nishapur). While this
increased interest has filled in many gaps in our understanding of this man,
an important figure for the Islamic mystical tradition, Nguyen’s monograph
represents the first in-depth inquiry into Qushayrī and his doctrine.
