ABSTRACT
A number of scholars have been utilising the phrase ‘transglobal’ or ‘trans-national’ to describe the formation of diaspora communities. For example, Pnina Werbner refers to the Pakistani communities in Britain as ‘transnational communities of co-responsibility’. 1 Sufism has arrived in Britain as part of the process of migration which has seen the creation of South Asian diasporas, now supplemented by communities from Turkey, Malaysia, North and sub-Saharan Africa, all places where Sufism in the Muslim context flourishes. Consequently it would be accurate to assert that the dominant form of Islamic expression in Britain is a traditional version of the religion highly influenced by Sufism.
