Contributors address Sufi ideas about the fate of human beings in this and future life under three rubrics: (1) cosmogony and eschatology (“where do we come from?” and “where do we go?”); (2) conceptualizations of the world of the here-and-now (“where are we now?”); and (3) visualizations of realms of existence, their hierarchy and mutual relationships (“where are we in relation to other times and places?”).    Contributors are Christian Lange, Alexander Knysh, Noah Gardiner, Stephen Hirtenstein, Saeko Yazaki, Jean-Jacques Thibon, Leah Kinberg, Sara Sviri, Munjed M. Murad, Simon O’Meara, Pierre Lory, Mathieu Terrier, Michael Ebstein, Binyamin Abrahamov and Frederick Colby.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents   List of Figures   Abbreviations   Notes on Contributors      Introduction: What Is Sufi Cosmology?    Christian Lange and Alexander Knysh      Part 1: Sufi Cosmogony and Eschatology   1 Cosmo-Eschatology in Sufi Thought and Practice    Noah Gardiner      2 Cosmogonic Myths in Sufism    Stephen Hirtenstein      3 Classes of Beings in Sufism    Saeko Yazaki      4 Sufi Views on Time and History    Jean-Jacques Thibon      5 Sufi Views of Life in the Grave    Leah Kinberg      6 Paradise in Sufi Thought    Christian Lange      7 Hell in Sufi Thought    Christian Lange      Part 2: Sufi Views of the World   8 Zuhd in Islamic Mysticism    Sara Sviri      9 Sufi Views of Nature    Munjed M.
