Abstract
NAFIS AL-BANJARI
(MUHAMMAD NAFĪS B. IDRĪS AL-BANJARĪ)
[Indonesia; late 18th century]

Muhammad Nafīs was an 18th-century Malay Sufi from the sultanate of
Banjar in southeast Borneo. He is the author of the once widely read
Malay Sufi work al-Durr al-nafīs, that has frequently been condemned
by other `ulamā as heterodox because of its unmitigated wahdat alwujûd
metaphysics.
