This chapter examines theological arguments underpinning Ottoman Bosnian Khalwati sermons on normative and supererogatory rituals. By focusing on the sermon collections of a 17th- century Ottoman Bosnian preacher and Khalwati shaykh, Aḥmad Ḍiyā al-Dīn Muʾadhdhin-zāda al-Mostārī, the aim is to show how the discourse surrounding the rituals was cultivated, on the one hand, to point to their Sufi meanings, and, on the other, to point to their normative and binding value. In this way, it is possible to see how sermons contribute to meaning- making processes in Islamic tradition.
