dc.description.abstractThere are one hundred and five Sufis in the Tabaqat al-Sufiyya, which was organized as five classifications by Abu Abdurrahman al-Sulami (d. 412/1021). The period they lived in corresponds to the years 161-378 Hijri. In this article, the regional and city distributions of the classifications of the Sufis in Tabaqat are discussed in the form of tables. The ratios in the tables showing the region and city distributions of each classification are presented in percentiles. While creating the tables pointing to the regions, Sulami's statement was taken as a basis. Therefore, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Hejaz, Egypt, and Khorasan regions were determined as the top headings. The Khorasan province in Iran was separated from Afghanistan and the Khorasan regions extending to the east of Afghanistan in an attempt to partially eliminate any potential confusion. Thus, possible confusion has been tried to be relatively eliminated. According to the data obtained from the classifications, the Sufi population in the Hijaz, Maghrib, and Egypt regions remained at low levels. It has been observed that this situation is at a higher level in other regions. It is seen that especially Iraq, Khorasan, and Iran regions are richer in terms of Sufi population. When this situation is evaluated on the basis of cities, it is understood that there are more Sufis in Baghdad and Nishapur than in other cities. However, when the temporal process of the classifications is taken into account and the tables in question are evaluated as a whole, it is observed that the Iran region in general, and Nishapur city, in particular, come to the forefront towards the last classifications due to various reasons. Another inference to be obtained from the data reflected in the tables is that the Sufis, who were mostly located in the central cities in the first classifications, also spread to relatively small villages and towns in the process. Thus, it turns out that Sufism has gained a place in different segments of society over time. Another issue that is wanted to be emphasized in the article is the sufism schools pointed out by the narrations transmitted by Sulami from various Sufis. Today, Sufi school names such as Basra, Baghdad, and Egypt have become widespread in studies compiled in the form of Sufi history, introduction to Sufism, and Sufi handbooks. For instance, the school of Basra, one of the Sufi schools, is characterized on the one hand by Hasan al-Basri's (d. 110/728) understanding of fear and sorrow and on the other by Rabiat al-Adawiyya's (d. 185/801) attitude of divine love. This situation brings with it some problems in dealing with Sufi schools over regions. As a matter of fact, different understandings of Sufism in the same regions can be ignored with this classification. Three different narrations, which indicate different understandings of Sufism in the region, in person, and the same city, conveyed by Sulami, can bring a new perspective to the phenomenon of Sufi schools, which are common today. Therefore, it may come to the fore to re-examine the phenomenon of Sufi schools, which has continued until today, in line with the new questions and findings that will arise from the tables presented in the article.en_US
