Drawing on rare Persian manuscripts preserved in medieval Sufi shrines, Carl Ernst reveals the mystical teachings of the Chishti Sufi order as taught by the ecstatic Shaykh Burhan al-Din Gharib (c.1337) and his disciples. His study engages with key issues, such as the basis of Islamic political power in South Asia.
