ABSTRACT
In his book about popular religion in Egypt, Morroe Berger poses several stimulating questions on the nature of Egyptian Sufism:
The present discussion of the kind of Sufism which Sha˚ra\nê advocates and the social background reflected in his Sufi doctrine cannot provide a complete answer to Professor Berger’s questions. Yet, it would seem that an analysis of the elements of Sha˚ra\nê’s Sufism may serve to illustrate, though in a limited fashion, one chapter in the history of Sufism in Egypt.
