Abstract

This research aims to study Sufism and Sufi literature in Sudan through a reading of Sudanese Sufi heritage and the role of Maghrebi influences on it. It presents examples of Sudanese Sufi literature and analyzes texts found in Sudanese manuscript Sufi heritage. The research's significance lies in the need for an analytical reading of Sufi literary texts to highlight the importance of this heritage, to uncover its secrets, and to clarify its rhetorical and aesthetic dimensions, which express its historical and human dimensions. The study employs a descriptive and analytical methodology to describe and analyze the heritage and texts of Sufi literature in Sudan. It is based on several axes, including: defining the concept of Sufism; addressing the historical background of the introduction of Sufism to Sudan and the Maghrebi influences on Sudanese Sufi heritage; and examining Sudanese Sufi literature, presenting examples of literary texts and analyzing them through an examination of Sudanese Sufi manuscripts. The study offers several findings, including that Sudanese Sufi literature has carried many noble Islamic meanings and values ​​that have contributed effectively to the wider and faster dissemination of Arab and Islamic culture in Sudan. Furthermore, the transmission of Maghrebi cultural influences played a prominent and crucial role in shaping and developing this great Sufi literary heritage. The study recommended the urgent need to focus on Sufi heritage and literature, to verify and refine it through documented scholarly studies of its rich manuscripts, many of which are housed in numerous libraries. It also recommended holding scholarly conferences and seminars to explore its secrets and aesthetics, and to demonstrate its cultural, educational, and religious value.
