Le soufisme antinomien réunit des traditions mystiques de l’islam qui entendaient protester contre l’institutionnalisation des grandes confréries soufies, ainsi que la collusion de leurs chefs avec le pouvoir politique. Depuis son arrivée au XIIIe siècle dans le sous-continent indien, la Qalandariyya était par exemple connue pour ses provocations. Les qalandars vivaient à l’écart de la société et ils faisaient de la transgression un mode d’accès privilégié à Dieu. Leur approche se caractérisait également par l’incorporation de répertoires culturels locaux à leur pratique religieuse. La Qalandariyya fut rapidement « normalisée » par les grandes confréries soufies du sous-continent indien, mais le caractère transgressif survit encore dans la poésie qu’ils ont laissée, ainsi que dans leurs rituels comme l’enivrement mystique ou la danse extatique. Les soufis antinomiens placent toujours le renoncement et l’errance au centre de leur vie spirituelle.

Antinomian Sufism unites two mystic traditions of Islam whose aim was to protest against the institutionalisation of the great Sufi brotherhoods, and the collusion of their leaders with politicians. Since their arrival into the Indian Subcontinent in the 13th century, the Qalandariyya were known for their provocation. The Qalandaris lived outside society and made transgression a privileged mode of access to God. They were also characterized by the incorporation of local cultural repertoires into their religious practice. The Qalandariyya were rapidly ‘normalised’ by the great Sufi brotherhoods of the Indian Subcontinent, but the trangressive element still survives in the poetry they have left us, and in their rituals such as mystic intoxication and their ecstatic whirling dance. Antinomian Sufis always place sacrifice and wandering at the heart of their spiritual lives.
