Despite that Sufism is presently gaining ground in Jordan, there is a lack of comprehensive studies and scientific research on the topic. This book dives deep in the history and present-day state of Sufism and its many manifestations in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. There is much to learn from this book about the rivalry between Salafism and Sufism and the footprint both traditions left and continue to leave on Jordanian institutions and society at large.

The Author critically reviews conspiracy theories about Sufism. He also explains the reasons for the often-distorted public image of Sufism in Jordan.

In his last chapter, the Author gives his most interesting insights into the female side of Sufism and about Sufi Art, Literature and Culture. Mohammed Abu Rumman concludes the book by addressing the question of the ability and role of Sufism in reforming Muslim societies.
