Sufism in the Contemporary Shii Seminary?

This paper investigates the intersection of Sufism and philosophy in the Shii context during the post-Mulla Sadra era. Specifically, it traces the scholars who emphasized Sadrian philosophical and mystical approaches on both theoretical and practical levels and identifies the roots of the Sufi order in the Shia seminary after 1850, namely the Sufi school of Najaf. I argue that these scholars were connected to Sufi orders such as the Dhahabiyya and the NiModified Letter Turned Commamatullahi order, contrary to the claim that they were not affiliated with any formal Sufi order. Furthermore, I highlight the reluctance of the masters and followers of the contemporary "Sufi School of Najaf" to reveal their Sufi connections in the anti-Sufi dominant environment of the seminary. Ultimately, this paper provides a comprehensive understanding of the connections between philosophy and Sufism in the post-Mulla Sadra era and speculates on the roots, origin, and development of such a school in the contemporary ShiMODIFIER LETTER LEFT HALF RINGi seminary.
