Talk:Sufi literature

Merging Sufi poetry into Sufi literature
Sufi poetry is normally discussed within the context and scope of broader Sufi literature, which is often poetic and allegorical even when it is not specifically poetry. The distinction between Sufi poetry and Sufi devotional or liturgical lyrics is also quite blurred. Poetry is central to Sufi literature, and most of the material on this Sufi literature stub is already about poets and their poetry. Given that neither of these articles has much substance and that many sources deal with Sufi poetry as part of a broader discussion about Sufi literature, including tertiary sources such as Encyclopedia Britannica, (as well as the fact that no editors currently seem to be working to expand this material,) it makes a lot of sense to merge these stub/start-class articles pending further content development. Islamic poetry/Arabic poetry/Persian poetry also exist as competing locations for related material. Iskandar323 (talk) 10:12, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

The article definitely needs a chapter on that topic. Marriex (talk) 08:39, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
