Medieval Islamic mysticism, also known as Ṣūfism, created spiritual practices, institutions, and literary works that fostered and cultivated competing visions of the ideal spiritual path in the Islamic world. Muslim mystics embedded the ideals of these visions
within spiritual hierarchies between masters and disciples, institutions such as Ṣūfī lodges and brotherhoods, and literary works like anthologies of poetry and the hagiographic tales of pious exemplars. As most of these mystics were men, they characterized
their ideal spiritual path as the acme of manly virtues, a chivalric piety they called “youthful manliness” ( <em class="x_ContentPasted0 ContentPasted0">futuwwah</em> in Arabic and <em class="x_ContentPasted0 ContentPasted0">javānmardī</em> in Persian). Zari
will delve deeply into all the examples of Sufi women, their existence, and their role in <em class="x_ContentPasted0 ContentPasted0">Tazkirat al-Awliā by Attār</em> (12th century) and <em class="x_ContentPasted0 ContentPasted0">Nafahāt al-Uns Min Haḍarāt
al-Quds</em> by Jāmi (15th century). </p>
