In the sixth and early seventh centuries (12th and early 13th AD) some half dozen charismatic Sufi masters emerged across the Abode of Islam, explains Ohlander (religious studies, Indiana U.-Purdue U.), who are linked with a complex of social, religious, and cultural trends identified with the Sufi order, or tariqa, a fundamental institution of Islamic mysticism. He describes the education, work, and impact of Umar (539-632/1144-1234), one of these masters based in Baghdad, exploring such aspects as the makings of a Sufi master, writing authority, and imperial and other projects.
