Karamustafa, Professor & Chair, Department of History, University of Maryland. ?Scholars of Sufism have long been waiting for an analytical survey of Junayd?s writings. This work is therefore most timely. It is meticulously researched and written with great care and attention to detail. Early medieval Baghdad comes alive in the text. This is indispensable reading on early Sufi history?. - Lloyd Ridgeon, Reader in Islamic Studies, University of Glasgow. ?Arin Salamah-Qudsi?s book brings together Junayd?s scattered writings, offering insights into the mysteries and paradoxes he addressed in a language that both veils and reveals the secrets of existence and the human soul?. - Francesco Chiabotti, Professor for Islamic Studies, INALCO (Paris). This book presents a full and updated portrait of al-Junayd al-Baghd?d?, a towering figure in the history of Islamic piety and thought. Examining the character of Junayd as both an architect of the Sufi mainstream as well as a charismatic and pragmatic personality, the book explores Junayd?s sophisticated relationships within Sufi circles as well as the broader circle of Islamic piety. Besides constructing a balanced portrait of Junayd, this book also examines Junayd?s legacy in order to flesh out some of the socio-religious and historical settings of that period.
