Muhammadan Mysticism In Sumatra is a book written by Raymond LeRoy Archer that explores the mystical traditions of Islam in the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the various forms of Islamic mysticism, or Sufism, that have emerged in Sumatra, and how they have been influenced by local culture and traditions. Archer examines the teachings and practices of the various Sufi orders in Sumatra, and how they have evolved over time. He also explores the role of Sufism in shaping the religious and cultural identity of the people of Sumatra, and its impact on their daily lives. The book is based on extensive fieldwork and research conducted by the author, and provides a unique insight into the rich and diverse spiritual traditions of Sumatra. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history and culture of Islam in Southeast Asia, and the mystical traditions that have shaped it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
