Al Hallaj by Louis Massignon
martyr mystique de l'Islam
An exhaustive study of a 10th-century Sufi mystic who was tried and executed in Baghdad, tracing his life, ecstatic teachings, and the social, legal, and theological forces that condemned him. Drawing on vast Arabic and Persian sources, it reconstructs his sayings and discipleship, interprets the notorious utterance “I am the Truth,” and examines themes of union, love, and martyrdom. The work situates his legacy within Islamic mysticism and the Abbasid milieu, revealing the enduring tension between orthodoxy and ecstatic experience.
