Islam is thought of as a religion that hinders any type of development, creating a government based solely on religious philosophy. This premise is quite false. Inherent in Islam are modernizing elements, especially within the political sphere. One of the earliest issues to confront the Islamic community was the organization of government after the death of Muhammed. Because this was a very central issue among Muslims, different vehicles for expressing political activism arose in the Islamic community. One response came from Sufi brotherhoods. Sufi brotherhoods evolved from their initial essence of a closer union with God to one that incorporated political activism and sectarianism. Because of their politically active nature, brotherhoods have been able to speak for their communities, and in many cases have turned into viable political parties.

520 $a Islam is thought of as a religion that hinders any type of development, creating a government based solely on religious philosophy. This premise is quite false. Inherent in Islam are modernizing elements, especially within the political sphere. One of the earliest issues to confront the Islamic community was the organization of government after the death of Muhammed. Because this was a very central issue among Muslims, different vehicles for expressing political activism arose in the Islamic community. One response came from Sufi brotherhoods. Sufi brotherhoods evolved from their initial essence of a closer union with God to one that incorporated political activism and sectarianism. Because of their politically active nature, brotherhoods have been able to speak for their communities, and in many cases have turned into viable political parties.
520 $a This has been noted many times by those who study Sufism, but the reasons why such a transformation has occurred has been rarely examined. This study traces the transformation of the Sufi brotherhoods in the Sudan and China and seeks to identify the underlying causes in order to explain why they have been able to become a modern political force, expressing the goals of their followers.
520 $a A study of this type is important since Western stereotypes of Islam, especially with the resurgence of Islamic activism, are basically inaccurate. There is a fundamental misunderstanding between the West and Islamic world in regards to political thought and action. The West is unable to comprehend that Islam is able to transform from within to meet the changes occurring in the modern world. It is inconceivable that Islam, especially Sufism, has the innate ability to adapt itself Sufi brotherhoods, however, are excellent examples of how Islam is able to change from traditional religious affiliations into modern secular ones, exercising power in the political arena.
520 $a By use of primary sources, the Qur'an and writing of those such as Al-Ghazali, in addition to secondary sources, this study analyzes the evolution of the Sufi brotherhoods in the Sudan and China to explain why they transformed into vehicles of modern political response.
