This module introduces students to key historical figures and themes within the study of Islamic mysticism, familiarising them with not only the key concepts within the Islamic mystical discourse but also the foundational texts of Islamic spirituality as well as the different literary modes of expressing spiritual sentiment such as in poetry and art.
