"Using the original writings of two Egyptian Sufis, Muhammad Wafa' and his son 'Ali, this book shows how the Islamic idea of sainthood developed in the medieval period. Although without a church to canonize its "saints," the Islamic tradition nevertheless debated and developed a variety of ideas concerning miracles, sanctity, saintly intermediaries, and pious role models. In the writings of the Wafa's, a complete mystical worldview unfolds, one with a distinct doctrine of sainthood and a novel understanding of the apocalypse. Using almost entirely unedited manuscript sources, author Richard J.A. McGregor shows in detail how Muhammad and 'Ali Wafa' drew on earlier philosophical and gnostic currents to construct their own mystical theories and notes their debt to the Sufi order of the Shadhiliyya, the mystic al-Tirmidhi, and the great Sufi thinker Ibn 'Arabi. Notably, although located firmly within the Sunni tradition, the Wafa's felt free to draw on Shi'ite ideas for the construction of their own theory of the final great saint."--Jacket

Né à Murcie en 1165, mort à Damas en 1240, Ibn Arabî - "le Maître spirituel par excellence" - exerce depuis huit siècles une influence majeure sur la mystique musulmane. Critiquée, aujourd'hui comme hier, par les adversaires du soufisme, son oeuvre immense offre en particulier la première formulation globale et cohérente d'une doctrine de la sainteté en islam. Cet enseignement, qui ne sépare jamais l'énoncé doctrinal de l'expérience visionnaire, expose une vaste typologie des saints fondée sur la notion d'héritage prophétique. Il décrit avec précision les étapes et les épreuves redoutables du voyage spirituel. Mais si cet itinéraire est d'abord une montée vers Dieu, il ne trouve son accomplissement que dans le retour vers les créatures, faisant ainsi du saint l'indispensable médiateur entre Ciel et terre
