- 요약This study approaches the gendered dynamics of Sufi spirituality in the context of two major Persian hagiographical anthologies, ʿAṭṭṭar of Nishapur's Taḏkerat al-awliyaʾ and Jami of Herat's Nafahat al-uns min ḥazarat al-quds, to reveal what can be learned from their portrayals of female mystics. These texts, central to the literary tradition of Sufi sainthood, largely support patriarchal hierarchies of spirituality that render female spirituality either invisible or only acceptable through symbolic defeminization. Whereas accounts of male mystics present them as the archetypes of spiritual merit, women such as Rabiʿah al-ʿAdawiyya are only acknowledged as mystics if they are described in male-coded terms or by placing them outside the confines of normative femininity. Employing terms like ḍaʿifah ("weak") and ʿawrah ("defective") to describe female mystics reveal the way that gendered language was employed to affirm and simultaneously undermine their sanctity, even as their miraculous agency and theological acumen render them figures of demonstrable spiritual standing.The study further discusses futuwwah (chivalric manliness), a moral and ethical ideal at the core of Sufi thought, emphasizing how it has historically excluded women from its frameworks. Although intended as a universal spiritual code, futuwwah remained enmeshed in masculine norms, ultimately delimiting women's participation and enacting differing ideals for their spiritual activities. This research illuminates how these gendered representations and the implications thereof helped maintain the spiritual virtues of women but confided their portrayals to a patriarchal lens. Ultimately, the project makes a case for an expanded understanding of Islamic mysticism that embraces not just female Sufis but their gender as part of the path, rather than both "thereby".
