The Great Saljuqs, a Turkish-speaking tribe hailing from > central Asia, ruled the eastern half of the Islamic world for a great > portion of that time. In a far-reaching analysis that combines social, > cultural, and political history, Omid Safi demonstrates how the Saljuqs > tried to create a lasting political presence by joining forces with scholars > and saints, among them a number of well-known Sufi Muslims, who functioned > under state patronage. > > In order to legitimize their political power, Saljuq rulers presented > themselves as champions of what they alleged was an orthodox and normative > view of Islam. Their notion of religious orthodoxy was constructed by > administrators in state-sponsored arenas such as madrasas and khanaqahs. > Thus orthodoxy was linked to political loyalty, and disloyalty to the state > was articulated in terms of religious heresy. Drawing on a vast reservoir of > primary sources and eschewing anachronistic terms of analysis such as > nationalism, Safi revises conventional views both of the Saljuqs as > benevolent Muslim rulers and of the Sufis as timeless, ethereal mystics.

Among the selections are > Ibn Abbas's account of the heavenly journey; al-Taftazani on the > uncreatedness of the Qur'an as God's speech; al-Farabi on the faculties of > the soul; and extracts from Rumi's Mathnawi.
