ISBN: 9789004140134 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 255 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This first history of the Rashīdi Aḥmadiyya argues for a new explanation of the great Sufi revival of the eighteenth century, and also defines a new paradigm of development and change in Sufi orders.
