Muridiyya: Prefatory Remarks

By the year 1,000 C.E. (roughly), Muhammad's movement (astutely named by Norman O. Brown as "the first Protestant reformation" of Biblical religion) had been transformed (one might even venture to suggest "sublimed") by Khorasani theosophy into one of the world's most profound wisdom traditions.

Anyone who spends any time judiciously studying the tradition will find this conclusion all but inescapable.
