Duchène, éd., La Mongolie dans son espace régional : Entre mémoire et marques de territoires, des mondes anciens à nos jours Valenciennes : Presses de l’Université de Valenciennes, 2020 : 261–93, ill. Le rôle d’une variété de marquages territoriaux, notamment culturels (sanctuaires et lieux de mémoire, en particulier) en Asie centrale est au cœur de recherches saisonnières que l’auteur de ces lignes a entreprises ou dirigées à partir de l’automne 2004 1. Individuels et collectifs, ces travaux visaient à promouvoir une géohistoire de l’islam en général, du soufisme spécialement, et de ses sociabilités gnostiques, en Asie centrale soviétique et actuelle. Cette recherche était axée sur l’étude des manières dont les pratiques et identités religieuses s’inscrivent dans une grande diversité de territoires, dans un contexte marqué, depuis le lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, par les impacts des répressions des années 1920 et 30, puis des déplacements massifs de populations des années 40-50 et par la création de nouvelles communautés territorialisées dans le cadre du système des fermes collectives. En grande partie inédite, interrompue un temps après 2011 par la dégradation du climat politique dans la région et une prévention générale envers la recherche internationale, ce travail s’est focalisé sur l’analyse d’un ensemble de processus hagiographiques dont le rapide développement a pu être observé dans cette partie du monde à partir de la chute du Mur, en novembre 1989, puis la dissolution de l’URSS deux ans plus tard.

  • Religion and Politics: a Study of Sayyid Ali Hamdani
    American International Journal of Available online at http://www.iasir.net Research in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences ISSN (Print): 2328-3734, ISSN (Online): 2328-3696, ISSN (CD-ROM): 2328-3688 AIJRHASS is a refereed, indexed, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary and open access journal published by International Association of Scientific Innovation and Research (IASIR), USA (An Association Unifying the Sciences, Engineering, and Applied Research) Religion and Politics: A Study of Sayyid Ali Hamdani Umar Ahmad Khanday Research Scholar Department of History Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, INDIA. Abstract: Sayyid Ali Hamdani was a multi-dimensional personality. He belonged to Kubraviya order of Sufis. When he landed in Kashmir, the ethical quality was at its most reduced ebb. The pervasiveness of standings and sub-stations in the general public, misuse of ordinary citizens because of conventional Brahmins, had rendered normal individuals defenceless. Individuals were prepared to welcome any change in the framework. Under his effect, the impact of Brahmans declined. His Khanqah was available to all from the Sultan to poor Hindu. He had no reservation in counselling rulers and nobility because he saw that their policies were key to the welfare of people. He was a social reformer other than being a preacher.Among the 700 devotees, who went with him to Kashmir were men of Arts and Crafts Crafts, as a result, several industries of Hamadan (Iran) became well introduced in Kashmir. Key Words: Khanqah, Rights,Ruler, Sayyid Ali Hamdani,Sufi ,Zakhiratul-Muluk I. Introduction Sayyid Ali Hamdani, who belonged to the family of Alawi Sayyids1 was born on 12 Rajab, 714/22 October, 1314 at Hamdan2.

Post Graduate College Rajouri, University of Jammu, Jammu, Jammu and Abstract Kashmir-185131, India. Kashmir has its unique architectural style and values. The wooden architecture is the chief building taste of Kashmir's master hands. It is entirely due to the climatic and seismic conditions of the happy Valley.

A few numbers of buildings, Pather Masjid, Masjid of Akhun Mullah Shah and Hari Parbat Fort, constructed during the period of Muslim rule were erected with grey limestone. The wooden structures occasionally affected by calamities such as earthquakes and fire flames.

  • Abstract the Rise of Islamic Civilization Coincides Strongly with the Spread of Sufi Philosophy in Islam
    Online International Interdisciplinary Research Journal, {Bi-Monthly}, ISSN 2249-9598, Volume-V, Issue-VI, Nov-Dec 2015 Issue Of Sufism and Mysticism: A Case study of the Hazrat Baba Naseeb-Ud-Din-Gazi Reyaz Ahmad Ganaie Doctoral candidate at Department of History, Pondicherry University, India ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abstract The rise of Islamic civilization coincides strongly with the spread of Sufi philosophy in Islam. The spread of Sufism has been considered a definitive factor in the spread of Islam, and in the creation of integrally Islamic cultures, especially in Asia between the 13th and 16th centuries. Sufism produced a flourishing intellectual culture throughout the Islamic world, whose physical artifacts are still present. In many places, a lodge known variously as a Zaouia, Khanqah or tekke would be endowed through a pious foundation in perpetuity waqf to provide a gathering place for Sufi adepts, as well as lodging for itinerant seekers of knowledge. Sufism or tasawwuf, as it is called in Arabic, is generally understood by scholars and Sufis to be the inner, mystical, or psycho-spiritual dimension of Islam. The substance of Sufism is the Truth and the meaning of Sufism is the selfless experiencing and actualization of the Truth. The practice of Sufism is the intention to go towards the Truth, by means of love and devotion. This is called the tariqat , the spiritual path or way towards Allah. The Sufi is one who is a lover of Truth, who by means of love and devotion moves towards the Truth, towards the perfection which all are truly seeking. As necessitated by love's jealousy, the Sufi is taken away from all except the Truth.One of the most important doctrines of Sufism is the concept of the "Perfect Man" al-Insan al- Kamil .
