ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book presents the work within the broader history of knowledge production on Sufism that has taken place in Western contexts, both academic and otherwise. It provides a genealogical overview of the roots of one of the most profound and far-reaching developments within the historical Islamic tradition. The book contextualizes the Western popularization of Rumi as part of the broader trajectory of the historical reception of Sufism by non-Muslims. It examines the expansive popularization of Rumi through film, music, architecture, cafes, social media, and much more, and in so doing it critiqued the perception that the commodification of Rumi in the global West has adulterated Sufism's purity. The book explores the women's involvement and leadership in Sufism through examples of how Sufi women throughout history have actualized the classical principles of insan al-kamil and walaya.
