Summary

This book explores the development of Persian Sufism, exploring in particular the ethic of futuwwat . It demonstrates how this Iranian code of honour emphasised selflessness, loyalty, humility, generosity, courage and bravery, showing itself to be a practical philosophy of the everyday rather than just a metaphysical phenomena.
