The Esoteric Deviation in Islam - H/C

The Esoteric Deviation in Islam examines movements and interpretations within the Muslim world that strayed from mainstream Islamic teaching through esoteric, hidden, or heterodox readings of scripture.

The book traces how such deviations took root historically and what distinguishes them from orthodox Islamic belief and practice. Presented in hardcover, it serves readers interested in Islamic theology, the history of sectarian movements, and the scholarly effort to define and defend orthodoxy against esoteric reinterpretation. A useful reference for students of comparative Islamic thought and religious history.
