Ribat: The Historical Link Between Sufism, Jihad, Islamic Architecture and Dawah

I have come across this word and concept before but not in great detail. IÂ’m going to explore it here because I think this is the key to what makes Awliya and Imams- the real peoples of distinction. Furthermore, its amazing how a few hadith and verses of the Quran were applied so boldly and successfully.
Interesting, written from by a Muslim for a Muslim audience. Particularly useful when applied to the Ground Zero/Cordoba Initiative "mosque".
