This book pivots around the ideas of al-Ḥakīm al-Tirmidhī, the first Muslim theologian and mystic to write on the topic of wilāya. By looking at its structural roots in Arab and Islamic social organization, Aiyub Palmer has reframed the discussion about sainthood in early Islam to show how it relates more broadly to other forms of authority in Islam. This book not only looks anew at the influential ideas of al-Tirmidhībut also challenges current modes of thought around the nature of authority in Islamicate societies"-- OP - 219 CN - BP189.33 .P35 2020 SN - 9004416552 SN - 9789004416550 SN - 9789004408302 KW - Ḥakīm al-Tirmidhī, Muḥammad ibn ʻAlī, : active 898.
