Journal of Social Science Studies ISSN 2329-9150 2020, Vol. 7, No. 2 Transformations of Iran Sufism in the 12th and 13th Centuries Seyed Mohammad Hadi Torabi PhD Research Scholar, University of Mysore, India E-mail: [email protected] Received: January 10, 2020 Accepted: March 20, 2020 Published: March 28, 2020 doi: 10.5296/jsss.v7i2.16760 URL: https://doi.org/10.5296/jsss.v7i2.16760 Abstract The 12th and 13th centuries are among the most important periods in the history of Sufism in Iran. During this period, the emergence of many great elders of Sufism and the establishment of the most famous ways and organized dynasty in Sufism by them, the formation of some of the most important treasures of Islamic Sufism, such as the dressing gown and the permission document of the dynasty, the systematic growth and development of the Monasteries as formal institutions and the social status of Sufis and the influence of Sufism in the development of Persian and Arabic prose and poetic, which in this study, briefly, the transformation and effects of Iranian Sufism are examined. Keywords: Cultural equations, Political equations, Religion, Sufism 1. Introduction Iranian Sufism, which has formed in the context of Islamic Sufism and its influence on the Sufism of the ancient religions in Iran, such as Zoroastrianism and Manichaean, has seen tremendous transformations over time, which undoubtedly caused cultural, political, social and even economic changes that have arisen in Iran has led to many ups and downs in the path of growth and excellence. Prior to the 12th century, Sufism continued to exist as a belief system based on knowledge and paths and a mystical view of religion, in which many groups and branches were formed, but differences of them were mostly in the field of thought and had little effect on the space of the community. -
Varieties of South Asian Islam Francis Robinson Research Paper No.8
Varieties of South Asian Islam Francis Robinson Research Paper No.8 Centre for Research September 1988 in Ethnic Relations University of Warwick Coventry CV4 7Al Francis Robinson is a Reader in History at the Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, University of London. For the past twenty years he has worked on Muslim politics and Islamic institutions in South Asia and is the author of many articles relating to these fields. His main books are: Separatism Among Indian Muslims: The Politics of the United Provinces' Muslims 1860-1923 (Cambridge, 1974); Atlas of the Islamic World since 1500 (Oxford, 1982); Islam in Modern South Asia (Cambridge, forthcoming); Islamic leadership in South Asia: The 'Ulama of Farangi Mahall from the seventeenth to the twentieth century (Cambridge, forthcoming). Varieties of South Asian Islam1 Over the past forty years Islamic movements and groups of South Asian origin have come to be established in Britain. They offer different ways, although not always markedly different ways, of being Muslim. Their relationships with each other are often extremely abrasive. Moreover, they can have significantly different attitudes to the state, in particular the non-Muslim state. An understanding of the origins and Islamic orientations of these movements and groups would seem to be of value in trying to make sense of their behaviour in British society. This paper will examine the following movements: the Deobandi, the Barelvi, the Ahl-i Hadith, the Tablighi Jamaat, the Jamaat-i Islami, the Ahmadiyya, and one which is unlikely to be distinguished in Britain by any particular name, but which represents a very important Islamic orientation, which we shall term the Modernist.2 It will also examine the following groups: Shias and Ismailis. -

Universal Government of the Mahdi
Published on Al-Islam.org (https://www.al-islam.org) Home > Universal Government of the Mahdi Universal Government of the Mahdi Author(s): Ayatullah Naser Makarem Shirazi [3] This text, authored by Ayatullah Makarim Shirazi sheds light on the nature of the universal government that will exist with the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (AFS) at the end of time. His method of government, awaiting his reappearance and the way victory will be achieved by this great peacemaker is discussed and presented. Category: Imam al-Mahdi [4] Person Tags: Imam Mahdi [5] Biography of the Author The eminent scholar, Ayatullah al-`Uzma al-Hajj ash-Shaykh Nasir Makarim Shirazi was born in the year 1345 AH (1924 CE) in the city of Shiraz, Iran to a religious family who were well known for their great level of spirituality and noble ethical traits. His Eminence finished his elementary school studies in Shiraz and due to his eagerness to learn, his powerful memorizing capabilities, and other great talents, he was regarded as one of the extraordinary students from amongst his fellow classmates. Thus, he was able to complete two years of studies in one year! The conditions that existed in Iran in those days obligated this young man, who possessed such a talent and great aptitude, to choose the path of University studies to increase his knowledge and attain advanced levels of secular studies. However through the hand of fate, the blessings of the Maintainer of the Universe, and his own internal desires, this young man developed an attraction to becoming better acquainted and delve deep into the genuine teachings of Islam. -
Historia Szyizmu
Historia Szyizmu Ghulam Hasan Muharrami Tlumaczenie: Barbara Szydłowska W imię Miłościwego i Litościwego Boga Historia Szyizmu Wstęp Historia Szyizmu - historią żywej szkoły i walecznych zwolenników Historia szyizmu (tashayyu’) stanowi nieodłączną część historii Islamu. Jest ona kontynuacją czasów zapowiedzi religii Islamu pod przewodnictwem Proroka Islamu (s.) i członków Jego Szkoły (Ahl al-Bayt). Pochodzenie nazwy Shi’ah związane jest z postacią samego Świętego Proroka (s.).1 Pierwszy zalążek szyizmu powstał dzięki grupie wspaniałych i wyróżniających się Współtowarzyszy (sahabah) i naśladowców Proroka (s.), którzy według instrukcji tego Świętego (s.) uwierzyli w konieczność przewodnictwa jego następcy, którym był Ali ibn Ali Talib. Po śmierci Proroka (s.), zwoływaniu potajemnych spotkań w Saqifah jak też tworzeniu dwuznacznej atmosfery wokół wyborów kalifa, dokonuje się w historii szyizmu radykalny zwrot ku innej ścieżce. W związku z tym, że szyici twardo opowiadają się za swoim liderem (Ali) i są wierni przesłaniom Ahl al-Bayt’u, w rezultacie dzielnie znosząc wszystkie trudności, nie wyrzekają się swoich ideałów i wierzeń. W efekcie powstrzymują się od udziału w rządach ówczesnej epoki i niechętnie się do nich ustosunkowują. Chociaż występujące różnice między szyitami a zwolennikami kalifatu oficjalnego (ci pierwsi zostali wcześniej wyznaczeni przez Proroka (s.) na prawowitych następców) przejawiają się w tym, że jednak Szyici po śmierci Proroka (s.) odwołują się w dalszym ciągu do wybitnych nauk i dziedzin Islamu (zasady wiary, prawoznawstwo, hadis, tafsir i pozostałe nauki wypływające z głównego żródła wiedzy, jakimi są Imamowie i Ahl al-Bayt). Szyici stopniowo odłączają się od zwolenników kalifatu oficjalnego i zaczynają kreślić nową linię działań nadając swoim myślom i kulturze nowy wymiar. Kwestia ta sama w sobie odbiła się nadzwyczajnym echem w historii i kulturze szyickiej. -

It concerns an incident during the Prophet's illness when he asked for writing materials to dictate a will, but the people present around him said that he was talking nonsense. This event is a point of controversy between the two largest sects of Islam. This book presents the reality of what happened and who was the person involved who had the audacity to cast such aspersion on the Messenger of Allah (S).

Ernest Scott
Ernest Scott IL POPOLO DEL SEGRETO Traduzione ALESSANDRO BARSANTI INTRODUZIONE Per molti secoli è esistita una strana leggenda in Oriente. Dice che in qualche posto nascosto, magari sulle alte montagne dell'Asia Centrale esiste una gruppo di persone che possiedono poteri eccezionali. Questo centro agirebbe, almeno in alcuni aspetti, come, il governo segreto del Mondo. Frammenti di questa Ieggenda arrivarono in Occidente durante le crociate. L'idea fu rinnovata dal pensiero Rosacroce e reintrodotta con alcuni variazioni in questo secolo, da Mme. Blavatsky, animata e periodicamente rinnovata da numerosi autori e viaggiatori come Talbot Mundi ed Ossendowski. Ernest Scott, in questa amena e documentata opera ci espone i suoi studi e ricerche su questo appassionante tema. 1 Capitolo 1 LA TRADIZIONE NASCOSTA Un cometa attraversa il cielo e scuote la terra, e gli uomini si accendono con l'energia del suo passaggio. Asteroidi urtano e spargono la loro sostanza attraverso il firmamento. Nella terra, un continente affonda, un'isola emerge dall'oceano. Un deserto si trasforma in un nuovo mare, terra fertile diventa deserto. Nazioni, intere razze, nascono, declinano e scompaiono: lasciando solo leggende per lasciare un segno della loro esistenza e del loro passare. Forse è tutto accidentale? Forse non c’è alcun significato in tutta la spinta e la forza cieca della collisione? O magari tutto ha un proposito intenzionale, con la sua ragione e significato in un momento presente immensamente maggiore di quello che possiamo immaginare? Fino a poco tempo fa c'erano pochi dubbi nella mente degli uomini sulla risposta. Le cose accadevano intenzionalmente. L'intenzione poteva essere benigna a livello umano, o poteva essere ostile, ma ad un certo livello, in una certa scala, aveva significato.
