Abstract:

The Sufi saints, Ulemas and Mashaikhs always had an important place in the history of mankind. These Sufi saints belong to different tariqas but their basic belief has been same and that is “oneness of Allah”. A tariqa is a school of thought or a concept for the mystical teaching and spiritual practices with the intention of seeking the ultimate truth. The history of Moinuddin Chishti, the Sufi saint of Ajmer is much mired in mythology. Therefore, it is often infuriating to shift fact from friction. Loveable and the legends declare Moinuddin Chishti a great saint, many are curious to know why he is considered to be so. This paper explores why Moinuddin Chisti is considered greater above all in the Chishti tariqa. In addition to this, this paper also explores the socio-legal services of Moinuddin Chishti for Muslim world generally and for Rajasthan particularly.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the reflection of the theme of dreams in Sufi writings, mainly manakibs (Lives of Saints), relating to the Middle-Age Transoxiana. Sufism is the earliest form of the spread of the Islamic faith in the world. Sufism has absorbed both some elements of the Qur'anic teachings, and many popular beliefs associated with the belief in supernatural forces. Sufis are people who dedicated their lives to the knowledge of God through various spiritual practices, one of which is, for example, the interpretation of dreams. In these dreams there are various images that are interpreted as flukes of providence, for example, appearing Saint Khidr (or Khoja Khizr) in a dream, who is considered as absolute authority and patron of the Sufis, and who is the bearer of the moral principle; he supports and guides people on the path of virtue. On the opposite side there is the genies community, which is “hostile” towards the Sufi community. Moreover, many Sufi authorities interpreted their presence in dreams or in reality as “good” or “bad” omens. Constant presence of such theme in Muslim hagiographic writings reflects the complex and specific worldview of Sufism. Some historical and Muslim hagiographic works (manakibs) of the late Medieval Transoxiana became the source base of our work. They contain numerous hagiographic episodes that tell us of such unusual phenomena in the life of Sufis. The subject of this article is the study of the dreaming spiritual practice of the Sufis. The purpose of the research is to study the phenomenon of dreams and its significance in Sufism, to consider the place and meaning of such an important hagiographic character as Khoja Khizra and such creatures as jinn in the Sufi’s worldview. The novelty of this work lies in the introduction of new information contained in the Lives of Muslim Saints of Transoxiana in the 16th century.

Abstract:

The article discovers the meaning of one of the central concepts in the teaching of Sufi “insan- i kamil” - a perfect person. This is the last step of the path that dedicated himself to the search for Truth. The term “salik” is used in relation to the traveller. The degree of the perfect person, according to the Sufi world view, can be achieved only by the chosen one. The purpose of the article is discovered on the basis of written sources. Also chosen thoughts of Sufi shaykhs given in work by “Abd al-Husayn Zarrinkub” are used. In addition, samples of Sufi poetry, thoughts of Sufi saints about the hierarchy of saints that existed in the Muslim world were also attracted.

Abstract:

Although spiritual realities do not find a place in the explanatory scheme of modern science, they nevertheless play a significant role in the everyday life of people. This article discusses the interrelationship between blood and spiritual genealogies among Sufi orders in the Muslim world in general and in the Nile Delta of Egypt in particular. Contrary to theories of geographic reductionism that highlight the geographical features of the Delta, this research sheds light on the impact of cultural and religious factors, such as regional Sufi orders and related saint cults, on the inhabitation and perpetuation of the local landscape. Moreover, compared with the rich scholarship of the grand Sufi orders and saints, studies that deal with local branches of dominant Sufi orders are sparse. The relationship between Sufi beliefs and practices in local contexts and in broader national or global (Muslim) worldviews is also considered.

Abstract:

Religion and the print media are two powerful motivators and sources of meaning, information and culture, and their relationship has been there seen since 19th century with the advent of industrial revolution. This research aims to analyze the portrayal of Sufism in the print media by investigating features of Sufi news stories of Urdu newspapers. For this purpose, this study applied qualitative approach to investigate news writings of national newspapers published from the city of saints, Multan. To provide a comprehensive overview, this study has analyzed news stories printed on the occasions of death anniversaries of prolific Sufi saints in four leading newspapers, Jang, Nawa-i-Waqt, Express and Khabrain, to contribute to the contemporary studies of religion and the print media. Probing the dynamics of religious communication, the study found the holy sketch of Sufi saints that portrayed them as great Muslim and spiritual mentors, and a heart of love and religious harmony. Their path and ideologies were recognized as the sources of inspiration for eternal success. The newspaper writings stated that Sufis are the treasures of the divine grace, wisdom and spiritual knowledge whose teachings address the love of God and Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the concept of piety, humbleness, pardon, the uncertainty of the world, and optimism. In this background, this research, with its results, is an important addition for a better understanding of the association of religion and media.

Abstract:

Sufism is associated with the expression of devotion towards God and spreading the message of truth. The Sufis in Pakistan and Balochistan remain the ambassadors of love, peace, respect for humanity, and social harmony. The Sufi Saints have contributed significantly to the literature, philosophy, and theological ideas. The study employs an anthropological perspective to examine the impacts of Saint Mast Tawaklis poetry on the Baloch Society by using qualitative research methods. The technique of triangulation and translation was used to verify the data. The research has been conducted in the district of Kohlu, Balochistan. This research reveals that Saint Tawakli is a famous poet of the Balochi language whose poetry is full of messages of love and respect for humanity. His work accurately depicts a lovers emotion and affection, precisely a source of inspiration for young people.

Abstract:

Encounters between Sufi saints and Muslim rulers have played a long and important role in the textual historical traditions of Muslim South Asia. Historians of the sultanates of Delhi and the Deccan writing in Persian such as Ziya al-din Barani and Abu'l Qasim Firishtah peppered their accounts with such narratives, much to the distaste of their nineteenth century British translators who frequently excised such episodes wholesale. Some of the earliest Sufi literature composed in South Asia, such as the ‘recorded conversations’ (malfuzat) written in the circle of Nizam al-din Awliya of Delhi (d.725/1325), make clear the importance of this topos of the interview between the saint and king. The actual historical nature of such encounters is sometimes difficult to ascertain in view of the didactic and moralizing dimensions to both medieval historiography and Sufi literature in Persian.

Abstract:

This article examines the relationship between the Mughal colonization of the Deccan during the twelfth/eighteenth century and the development of the Sufi traditions of Awrangabad. Concurrent with the defeat of the Deccan sultanates was a process of re-ordering the sacred Muslim landscape of the Deccan into harmony with the cultural and political values of the region's new elites by the importation of Sufi traditions from the north. As a reflection of the wider cultural make-up of the Mughal world, questions of regional, political and ethnic affiliation were articulated by writers whose own remembered homelands lay far from the Deccan. Placing Sufi commemorative texts written in Awrangabad into a wider social and literary context, the article discusses the place of the city's Sufis in the social, political and intellectual life of a short-lived imperial centre. The city's saints are in this way seen as the most semantically rich of all the cultural products of the period.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper addresses Farid al-Din ʿAttār’s views on social and kingly ethics as espoused in the Elāhi-nāma. It offers a holistic reading of its stories, which are suffused with the tenets of Sufism, to illustrate the myriad ways that the Elāhi-nāma adopts and adapts the characteristics and tropes of practical ethics and Sufi hagiographies to advance its views. Indeed, the Elāhi-nāma promotes the ideal Sufi king and society by encouraging its members—saints, kings, and common folk—to be responsible, as individuals, for nurturing their souls, each other, and a love for the divine. It accomplishes this through a number of tale types, such as the saint or ruler who stumbles his or her way into self-awareness, the Sufi master or ruler who falters and is in need of guidance, or the hagiographical portraits of kings-as-Sufi lovers. In order to provide the appropriate context for the arguments herein, the paper explores several prominent themes and tropes from practical ethics and hagiographies and discusses Ebn ʿArabi’s al-Tadbirāt al-elāhiyya fi eslāh al-mamlaka al-ensāniyya for current notions on the responsibility of individuals and kings.

Abstract:

The eighteenth century in Indian History is characterized as an epoch of political anarchy and social chaos that spread unchecked in the wake of the collapse of the Mughal empire. But disintegration of the imperial center and its administrative institutions did not produce any profound effect on the pre-existing pluralistic socio-cultural structure, which was distinguished by widespread Hindu-Muslim unity and culture syncretism in northern India.

Abstract:

Masters of Art
study analyses the concept of al-Karāmah al-Sūfīyah (the Sufi Saintly Miracle) in both its religious and literary dimensions. The researcher will shed more light on this genre of narrative literary phenomena by developing its definition and placing it in the social and historical context of the Sufi thought as a whole. Many communities in the Islamic world embrace and practice the Sufi doctrine and also believe in the Ṣūfī Sheikhs’ saintly miracles and its paranormal aspects, which they also consider to be parallel in its sacredness to the miracles of the Prophets. Furthermore, in this study the researcher will not only focus on the religious significance of the saintly miracle but also on their literary approach and aesthetic dimensions. In fact many of the contemporary Arab scholars and Litterateurs categorize this narrative discourse to fall under the cloak of al-Adab al-‘ajāibī (miraculous literature) due to the nature of its narrative style and structure from which it achieves its goals, such as: Myth – Legend – Superstition – Storytelling, etc. The study will be mainly qualitative. It is a content analysis study in the sense that the researcher will analyse the stylistic, formal and rhetorical techniques of the saintly miracles’ discourse with specific reference to extracts taken from al- Sheikh al-Hassan al- Shadili and al-Sheikh Abdelssalam Bin Machich. The study will use an eclectic theoretical and conceptual framework which combines the historical approach with the reception theory.

This thesis aims at discussing Tong Dynasty．Chu Sui Liang 《Wild goose Tower Saint Teaches Foreword》and goes advanced on its related field upon the“research on the aesthetics of Chinese Writing .” It also includes the references from long time before till nowadays toward 《Wild goose Tower Saint Teaches Foreword》 and narration to the aesthetics of Chinese Writing. Besides, it also helps us understand the beauty of Chinese Writing which effects the eastern and western cultures. By this thesis, we understand how to pay much more care the inheritance and the education on Writing art. At first, we try to discuss the learning background of Chu Sui Liang and his important role in Chinese Writing history and the evaluation toward him. Also, we try to collect all the evaluations toward Chu Sui Liang upon his Chinese Writing art from Tong Song Dynasties. And, in this thesis, we try to find the reason for his well-known fame to be one of three major arists in the beginning of Tong Dynasty. Then, we could follow what Chu Sui Liang has achieved through his “personal character” and “Chinese Writing style”which endow the human being’s existence value and meaning of lives. After that, we could pay our respect from our deep mind toward him. The achievements of Chu Sui Liang on art include two points, first, the inheritance and initiation of culture and the united wisdom from well-breed teaching second, the personal art style of Chu Sui Liang and his holy character with the eternal beauty. 　　　Furthermore, in this thesis, we also try to adopt the basic but logical way to get together the 《Wild goose Tower Saint Teaches Foreword》of Chu Sui Liang. By the ways mentioned above, we could make a clear understanding upon the beauty of a rubbing from a stone inscription, such as the knot word and the arrangement of the art, book carving toward《Wild goose Tower Saint Teaches Foreword》. Following the analysis upon basic way, point draw and the changing style of Chu Sui Liang in the Wild goose Tower Saint Teaches Foreword, we could clearly find the Chinese Writing of Chu Sui Liang and the field atmosphere of religion in both the Sui and Tong dynasties. Besides, we could find the changing style of Chu Sui Liang and his relationship with the government policy, thus, we finally understand the personal value of his character. After that, we could make sure Chu Sui Liang is the very person to be “the instructed leader of Tong Dynasty”, inherited with the elegant tradition and the spirit of brave creation. 　　　In this thesis, I try to analyze the various traits and effects upon the published works of Chu Sui Liang’s 《Wild goose Tower Saint Teaches Foreword》. By the way, I also try to discuss the aesthetic meaning in 《Wild goose Tower Saint Teaches Foreword》and how much influence has been created by Chu Sui Liang, the latter generations on Chinese Writing and the relationship between the aesthetics of Chinese Writing and the latter dynasties. Following the influences of initiation upon the latter writer’s skill, the imitators’introduction, and even the spreading condition, we find that the perfect achievement of《Wild goose Tower Saint Teaches Foreword》,the Chinese Writing, is also a far reaching exploration. Finally, we learn its influence towards the writers in the late Tong Dynasty and all the countries including China and other foreign countries. In this thesis, I also mention that the Chu Sui Liang’s influence created on Japan’s politics and Writing Art. Besides, I also discuss the development of Chinese Writing in other countries. By narrating and defining the meaning of《Wild goose Tower Saint Teaches Foreword》, I sincerely find the beauty of Chu Sui Liang’s Writing and his marvelous writing on thousands of his words. At last, I do understand all the great artists who experience their lives dearly through their works. 　　　In this thesis, I also borrow the points which are Chu Sui Liang’s style of “Writing style is same to his personality”, the beauty upon his personality and his contribution towards Chinese Writing education. By the points above, I also try to suggest using a different view to appreciate the vivid work of Chu Sui Liang’s《Wild goose Tower Saint Teaches Foreword》. In the end, I hope the traditional spirit of Chinese writing could be connected with modern arts by way of writing aesthetics, and make them have a nice connection.

Abstract:

The fourth chapter shows how Deobandis conceived of Sufism itself in two complementary ways: as coterminous with the Shari`a and as a discourse of ethical self-fashioning. It details how Deobandis saw the crux of the Sufi path as the process of divesting the self of base ethical qualities and embodying praiseworthy ones. The chapter demonstrates why the concept of suhbat (“companionship” with Sufi masters) is central for understanding the process by which one acquires the dispositions and affects that aid translating religious knowledge into practice. The corollary to the need for the `ulama to make sense of religious knowledge, explored in chapter 3, is the need for companionship with living Sufis to make sense of the Sufi path—not only because the most reliable knowledge is embodied knowledge, but also because Sufi books contain complex metaphysical concepts that pose spiritual dangers for the uninitiated. The chapter concludes by illustrating how Deobandis reconceptualized the very definition of Sufi sainthood, arguing that any pious Muslim not only can be but also is a saint (wali) by virtue of that piety, as well as how they viewed Sufi saints as moral exemplars rather than miracle workers or conduits for divine intercession.
