| Σύνοψη: | Islam became established in Asian societies in a relatively short time and, throughout history, entered into a deep process of inculturation. Sufis gradually became important figures in the Asian religious life of its population. They gathered around themselves groups of followers who were identified and bound together by the special mystic path (ṭarīqa) of the teacher. By the twelfth century, these ṭarīqas began to provide the basis for more permanent fellowships or brotherhood. Consequently, Sufi orders emerged as major social organizations in the Islamic community in Asia and as the main reference for ‘popular religiosity’. This article will concentrate on the situation in some of the main countries of continental Asia. |
