Fawzy Mohammed Abuzeid Sufism in Quran & Sunna Introduction Page ( 1 ) Fawzy Mohammed Abuzeid Sufism in Quran & Sunna Sufism in Quran & Sunna Sheikh Fawzy Mohammed Abu Zeid Original text is in Arabic, Translated by Mr. Gamal Abd El-Hameed, Professor of English Language Introduction Page ( 2 ) Fawzy Mohammed Abuzeid Sufism in Quran & Sunna First Arabic Edition, Cairo, Egypt 2005 ISBN Arabic Edition 977-17-2334-5 Al-Eman Wal-Hayaa Publisher +202-25252140 Introduction Page ( 3 ) Fawzy Mohammed Abuzeid Sufism in Quran & Sunna In the Name of Allah, the most Gracious the Most Merciful Intoduction Praise be to Allah, the Donor and the Generous. It is Him who granted us all good things. Blessings and peace of Allah be upon the prophet, the pen by whom Allah wrote in the preserved book, our master, Mohammed, the great honour of life and the source of light for the Arabs and non- Arabs. Allah blesses him, his family who gave life to the hearts from nothing, his companions and his followers who followed this example. There are violent attacks against Sufism, in the past and nowadays, these attacks are not based on religion or science or logic. A wise person uses his mind to judge things. Logically, there are premises lead to results and a religious person never says any thing from his own view, but he passes it on the decree of Allah, the book of Allah (the Quran) and the Sunna of the prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and says only what matches the book of Allah and the Sunna of the beloved prophet. Anyone who studies at a scientific institution follows the scientific methods on every scientific case. If we fulfill these scientific methods, e.g.: observation, experimentation, watching and how to make a perfect scientific research, we’ll find that the Europeans who excelled the world in scientific research put Sufism at the top of proved scientific cases which all people need, for overcoming their problems, psychological stability, reforming souls, increasing body immunity, hearts’ purity and to promote manners and morals which lead to societies’ happiness. Lots of things were proved and registered by them in world famous universities, but people who attack Sufism without evidence or a logical proved reason don’t see this. So we should and must face them. We tried in our monthly sessions held at the center of The General Association for Daawa (Calling) to Allah in Hadayek El-Maadi Cairo, to put Sufism in its right place and to originate its rules from the verses of the Quran, the words of the prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and the life and behavior of the prophet and his companions. Introduction Page ( 4 ) Fawzy Mohammed Abuzeid Sufism in Quran & Sunna God, praise to him, granted us success in doing this. We put this out in a book named: Sufism in Quran & Sunna Someone may ask: Does Sufism exist in the Quran and Sunna? We say: Yes, we proved that in this book for God’s sake and to clarify the reality and we want nothing but His satisfaction. About how to become a Sufi (mystic), Imam Al-Ghazzali said: (The way to that is: beginning with striving against one’s self, or the erasing of bad manners, cutting all the attachments and coming thoroughly to God. When this happens, God assumes his servant’s heart He takes the responsibility of enlightening it with learning. When God shoulders one’s heart, it is filled with mercy and light and he knows the secrets of the heavens, and the heart could see with God’s mercy and he could recognize facts. The servant should only get himself ready by purifying himself and true intention and looking forward to what God grants him by his mercy.) And about the same way Ibn-Khaldun said: (The prophet’s companions were like that, and they had great deal of dignities but they didn’t care about that. There were lots of dignities in the life of Abo Bakr, Omar Othman and Ali followed by lots of pious people mentioned in El-Qushayri’s book: Resalah and others who followed them.) This is about the way, but according to the topic, the feeling and the conditions, the mystics generaly referred to the great importance of following the law of God. Imam Abu El-Hassan El-Shatheli says: (Whoever call to God not following the model of the prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), he is a heresiarch.) He also says: (If the pious don’t attend the five prayers with people at the mosque, don’t care for him.), Also, among his best words about this: (There is no dignity greater than believing and following the Sunna when someone is given them, and he is eager to others, then he is a great liar, or he is mistaken in his knowledge and doing the good, like someone who met the king and is satisfied with him and in the same time he is looking forward to taking care of animals and doesn’t want satisfaction.) Introduction Page ( 5 ) Fawzy Mohammed Abuzeid Sufism in Quran & Sunna All the mystics follow this way, one of them: Abu Yazeed El-Bastami said in strength and truth: (If you see someone who has given so many dignities that he can walk into the air, don’t be deceived until you see what he does with the orders, prohibitions and the instructions of the Islamic law.) Imam El-Gonayd mentioned, more than once, the connection between Sufism and the Islamic law eg: (All the roads are closed in front of people except people who follow the Sunna of the prophet.) He also said: (That who doesn’t memorize the Quran and write the Sunna can’t be followed in this matter, because our knowledge (Sufism) restricted to the origins of the Quran and the Sunna.) Imam Al-Ghazzali, by word and deed and in his private and general life was limited to the Islamic law, he says: (Researchers say: If you see someone flying in the air and walking on the water and he commits something against the Islamic law, you should know that he is a devil.) In fact, the highest example for all the mystics is the prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). They always try to follow him, because he is their ideal in everything they do, they do this according to this verse in the Quran: "Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much." (Surat Al-Ahzab, Verse 21) Imam Dr Abd El-Halim Mahmoud said in his book: Kadeyet Al- Tasawof (The Matter of Sufism), page 48: ( Sufism, mystics ( in Islam ) have a spiritual method, this method depends in its origin, way and aim on the Noble Quran and the Sunna. This method was experimented and flourished by them. The essence of this method is what they called: the grades and the status. The grades are the spiritual degrees passed by someone who wants to reach God’s satisfaction, in each degree he stops for a period of time and strives his self until God guides him to the next degree, to go gradually from noble to nobler and from high to higher. The statuses are the spiritual breathes blow on Introduction Page ( 6 ) Fawzy Mohammed Abuzeid Sufism in Quran & Sunna someone, he becomes refreshed for seconds, then it passes leaving nectar, the spirit is eager to return to breathe it.) We beg our God to make this work only for his sake, his satisfaction and benefit for its readers. "Our Lord! Keep perfect our Light for us and grant us forgiveness. Verily, You are Able to do all things." (Surat Al-Tahrim, Verse 8).

    The Socio-Educational Reformatory Contributionof Muslim Scholars

    The Socio-educational Reformatory Contributionof Muslim Scholars(‘Ulama and Sufis)in Medieval Indian Subcontinent: A study of some prominent Scholars Abdul Mannan Khan Doctoral candidate Shah I Hamdan Institute of Islamic Studies University of Kashmir, Srinagar India. Azad Hussain Aakhoon Doctoral candidate Shah I Hamdan Institute of Islamic Studies University of Kashmir, Srinagar India. Sheraz Ahmad Mir Doctoral candidate Shah I Hamdan Institute of Islamic Studies University of Kashmir, Srinagar India. Abstract Every society despite its foundational fervour organizes itself on some normative, ethico-philosophical, devotional or transcendental phrases etc of which the folk or intellectual personages like scholars reflect its pattern. Similarly while exploring the medievel society in subcontinent manifests same character in wholistic essence. However the Muslim scholars from the very inception of Muslim state distinguished themselves entirely from the previous starta beyond the respective expections and narratives. The Ulama in various domains excelled utmost in pristical and efficient way to cater the diverse and contemporary needs or challenges. To analyse the muslim intellectual contribution in terms of social efficacy and political acuemen, we need to explore the educational perspectives in chronological and analytical way. The theo-centric educational setup designed in the light of its teachings presented the civilized outlook of the scripture of knowledge both of religious and non-religious sciences. This sacred system seems to have developed around the learned men to whom disciples thronged to acquire the knowledge irrespective of denominations. The progress of learning, expansion and consolidation of the central authority, cultural influences as those of Muslim mystics (sufis) and the employment of skilled men in the royal professional life paved the way for the rise of downtrodden people to climax in the society.

E-mail: [email protected] Mob.09559840136 Fax.0522-2740240 Caste system pre-Islamic Arabian society: Before the advent of Islam, the Arabs considered the non-Arabs, inferior (‘Ajmi) to them. Even Arab people pride on their own tribes. The Quraish tribe was servant of K’abah, so prided on them. But their attitude was not like Indian caste system. They were marrying with different tribes. They used to do all kind of works. We can find such evidences in pre- Islamic era. Till now they use job titles with their names, like Haddad, (blacksmith/ ironsmith) Zayyat (oil presser), Najjar (carpenter), Hazza (shoes maker), Khayyat (tailor) etc. There were two classes in pre-Islamic Arabic society i.e. free and slave. The free man could take benifits (physical relations) with slave woman but revers was not allowed. By this example we can say that pre-Islamic Arabian society was divided into a society of upper and lower class, in other word it was based on class not caste. A famous antheropologist Dr. Ghaus Ansari writes: “The pre-Islamic Arabian society was devided into tribes and clans; social grades within the clan or tribe were unknown. Although rivaliries between different clans of the same tribe or between different tribes were quite common, and although inter-clan or inter-tribal fueds were also frequent, yet the the conception of superiority or inferiority of one clan or tribe in comparision to another clan or tribe 1 was unknown in the sense it has come to acquire in existing plural socities.”P0F Caste and Islam: Islam is an egalitarian religion.

    The Tomb of Sheikh Sayyid Amir Kulal. Shah Bahauddin Naqshaband

    The tomb of Sheikh Sayyid Amir Kulal. Shah Bahauddin Naqshaband (ral) was born in the village of Qasr al-Arifan near Bukhara in the year 711 AH/1317 CE. He is reported to have had miraculous powers even during his childhood. When he was still a youth Muhammad Baba as Samasi, a Sheikh of the Naqshabandi Tariqa asked for him and to fulfill this request he went to the village of Samas in order to serve him. Of this period of time Shah Bahauddin (ral), has this to say, “Rising in the morning hours at least three hours before fajr I would perform the sunnah prayers and thereafter in the position of sajda (prostration) ask Allah Almighty to give me the power to carry the pain of His Divine love. Thereafter I would pray salat ul fajr with my Sheikh. It seems that my Sheikh was aware of my supplication, for he told me, “You will have to change your method of supplication as Allah Almighty does not like His servants to ask for difficulties. He might however in order to test his creatures give them some difficulties. This is different. The servant should not however ask to be in difficulties because this will not be showing proper respect to Allah Almighty. Therefore change your supplication and instead say “to this weak servant of Yours, oh my Lord grant Your pleasure”. “After the death of Sheikh Muhammad Baba Samasi I went to Bukhara and also got married there. I lived in Qasr al-Arifan near Seyyid Amir Kulal in order to serve him.” It is related that Sheikh Baba Samasi had a long time ago told Seyyid Amir Kulal to take good care of shahBahauddin Naqshaband.
