Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Sharafat, East Jerusalem" in English language version.
A case in point is the abu al-Wafa' family, which founded no fewer than three Sufi centers in and around Jerusalem during the Mamluk period. The family was headed by Shaykh Badr al-Din abu al-Wafa' (d. 1253), a Sufi who was held in high esteem by his peers (qutb). ... During the tenure of his grandson as head of the tariqa (order), a new lodge was constructed in the village of Sharafat, about three kilometers southwest of Jerusalem. The presence of this institution further expedited the Islamization process because the Christian community in this settlement, according to Mujir al-Din, was also forced to leave soon after the Sufis' arrival.
