Abstract:The spiritual dimensions of Sufism have received relatively little attention from scholars. This paper represents an effort to fill this gap. Two primary themes are developed here: the first centres on efforts to define, conceptualize and understand Sufism both as a set of ideas and as a method of spiritual training. The second theme centres on one specific example of Sufi teaching in West Africa, that represented by Tierno Bokar Salif Tali, a Tijani shaikh, who died in Mali in 1940. Notes.
