- W342869832 abstract "The Divine Flood: Ibrahim Niasse and the Roots of a Twentieth-Century Sufi Revival. By Rudiger Seesemann. New York: Oxford University Press, 2011. Pp. x, 331; map, photographs, bibliography, index, glossary. $65.00. Historical scholarship concerning Sufism in Senegal has most often focused on the Murid Sufi order to the relative exclusion of the larger Tijani order (Tijaniyya) and the smaller Qadiriyya and the Lay enne. Furthermore, with few exceptions, most scholars have focused their studies on the leadership of the orders be they founding saints such as Amadu Bamba, Senegalese representatives of international orders such as Al-hajj Malik Sy, or iconic figures such as Ibra Fall. Recent scholarship has revolutionized the field through research methodology that makes critical use of indigenous written and oral sources and rejects colonial era paradigms. Rudiger Seesemann 's The Divine Flood employs this revolutionary approach in a brilliant examination of the career of Ibrahim Niasse (1900-1975), a complex figure who has been frequently overshadowed by the likes of Bamba and Sy in the literature of Senegalese Sufi leaders and yet established a transnational movement not matched by any of his predecessors or contemporaries. Niasse is chiefly known for establishing the Community of the Divine Flood within the Tijaniyya order. According to members of the community, the founder of the Tijani order, Ahmad al-Tijani, foretold that a flood, or fayda, of spiritual illumination would descend upon his followers during troubled times. In 1929, Ibrahim Niasse declared himself to be the bringer of that flood and began to teach his disciples a rigorous form of spiritual training, or tarbiya, that would enable them to perfect their faith through the attainment of mystical knowledge of God. Many in the Tijaniyya doubted Niasse. However, the opposition to his training and his status as the preeminent saint of his time and supreme leader of the Tijaniyya served, according to Seesemann, to solidify a sense of collective identity within the community as it spread far outside of Senegal, particularly after World Warn. Seesemann relies on an impressive array of Niasse' s writings in Arabic in various forms from poetry to polemics to travelogues. Use is also made of a wide range of primary sources mostly written by Tijani Sufis that have been employed over time by both supporters and detractors of Niasse. Seesemann also conducted interviews with over a dozen prominent intellectuals some of whom were sons of Niasse. …" @default.
