Sufi and Bhakti Performers and Followers at the Margins Of
religions Article Sufi and Bhakti Performers and Followers at the Margins of the Global South: Communication Strategies to Negotiate Situated Adversities Uttaran Dutta The Hugh Downs School of Human Communication, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85281, USA; [email protected] Received: 13 January 2019; Accepted: 15 March 2019; Published: 18 March 2019 Abstract: Throughout the globe (particularly in the global South), religious orthodoxy and their discriminatory intolerances are negatively impacting religious freedom of underserved populations, particularly those who practice/follow alternate spiritual praxis, like the Sufi and Bhakti performers from rural and geographically remote spaces of South Asia. Hindu and Islamic fundamentalist discourses/doctrines are propagating their conservative religious agendas and thereby creating tensions and separatism across the subcontinent. Such religious extremism is responsible for the threatening and even murdering of nonsectarian torchbearers, and their free thoughts. This study focused on various alternate communication strategies espoused by Sufi and bhakti performers and followers in order to negotiate and overcome their marginalized existence as well as to promote the plurality of voices and values in the society. This article identified the following communication strategies—innovative usages of language of inversion or enigmatic language; strategic camouflaging of authors’/writers’ identity, and intergenerational communication of discourses and spiritual values to ensure freedom and survival of their traditions. Keywords: Sufi; bhakti; South Asia; enigmatic language; performance 1. Introduction Throughout the globe, religious dogma and orthodoxies are negatively affecting, and even sometimes destroying, religious freedom of underserved and marginalized populations, particularly those who practice and follow alternate spiritual praxis (Mamoon 2008; Robinson 2001). Rural and geographically remote spaces of South Asia are not an exception. -

Leiden: LOT (Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics), 2007, 438 pp. ISBN 9789078328247. Price: EUR 32.27 (paperback). ALEXANDER ADELAAR Asia Institute, University of Melbourne [email protected] The traditional languages in Indonesia’s West Kalimantan Province are pre- dominantly Malayic and Bidayuhic (although some other language groups are also represented). Mualang belongs to the Ibanic branch of the Malayic lan- guage group and is spoken in the Belitang Hulu, Belitang Hilir and Belitang districts of Sekadau Regency (formerly part of Sanggau Regency). Based on purely linguistic criteria, it is clearly in a dialect relation with Iban, one of the main languages in Sarawak and a minority language in West Kalimantan. It is probably even more like Iban than some other Ibanic languages, which have not developed the diphthongs that are so typical of Iban and Mualang (for example, datay ‘come’; jalay ‘road’; tikay ‘mat’). Notable differences between the two varieties are that Iban does not exhibit nasal preplosion and postplo- sion (see below), and that Iban has acquired a transitive suffix –ka, whereas in Mualang this element is still a preposition. According to Tjia, another dif- ference is that in Iban mid vowels are phonemic whereas in Mualang they are allophones of high vowels, but this is just a matter of analysis, as Scott (1957) was able to show that Iban high and mid vowels were still allophones, in spite of the rather non-phonemic Iban spelling conventions. -
Islamic Esotericism in the Bengali Bāul Songs of Lālan Fakir Keith Cantú [email protected]
Research Article Correspondences 7, no. 1 (2019): 109–165 Special Issue: Islamic Esotericism Islamic Esotericism in the Bengali Bāul Songs of Lālan Fakir Keith Cantú [email protected] Abstract This article makes use of the author’s field research as well as primary and secondary textual sour- ces to examine Islamic esoteric content, as mediated by local forms of Bengali Sufism, in Bāul Fa- kiri songs. I provide a general summary of Bāul Fakiri poets, including their relationship to Islam as well as their departure from Islamic orthodoxy, and present critical annotated translations of five songs attributed to the nineteenth-century Bengali poet Lālan Fakir (popularly known as “Lalon”). I also examine the relationship of Bāul Fakiri sexual rites (sādhanā) and principles of embodiment (dehatattva), framed in Islamic terminology, to extant scholarship on Haṭhayoga and Tantra. In the final part of the article I emphasize how the content of these songs demonstrates the importance of esotericism as a salient category in a Bāul Fakiri context and offer an argument for its explanatory power outside of domains that are perceived to be exclusively Western. Keywords: Sufism; Islam; Esotericism; Metaphysics; Traditionalism The history of the Bāul Fakirs includes centuries of religious innovation in which various poets have gradually created a folk tradition highly unique to Bengal, that is, Bangladesh and West Bengal, India. While there have been several important works published on Bāul Fakirs in recent years,1 in this ar- ticle I aim to contribute specifically to scholarship on Islamic esoteric con- tent in Bāul Fakiri songs, as mediated by local forms of Sufism.2 Analyses in 1. -
The 2021 Syrian Presidential Election
July 2021 The 2021 Syrian Presidential Election Political deadlock and Syrian Burnout Hadia Kawikji Introduction The legitimacy of any position is based on two main elements, first the manner in which the individual attained the position, and second is the ability of the individual to fulfill the related responsibilities. For the first point, Bashar al-Assad’s Presidency in Syria was attained through heredity within a ludicrous system following his father who seized the power via a military coup. Both father and son ruled Syria for the last half a century with de-facto legitimacy, through nominal referendums completely dominated by the Ba’ath party. This was instead of an election that reflects the Syrian people’s will. In terms of the ability to fulfill the responsibilities of the presidency, many indicators showcase the regime’s failures to the Syrians. The recent years have witnessed the collapse of the Syrian pound to unprecedented levels, along with the displacement of more than half of the Syrian population,1 and the rise of extreme poverty to 82%,2 with the fact that 37% of the Syrian territories are outside of the regime’s control. Additionally, the violation of the Syrian decision is evidenced by the control of the Lebanese “Hezbollah”, Iranian militias, and Russian troops controlling over roughly 85% of the Syrian borders, finally yet importantly, the Syrian regime’s inability to protect its territory is illustrated by the haphazard attacks by Israel on Syrian land at any given time. In March 2011, the majority of the Syrian people called for the removal of the Assad regime and the transition to a democratic country. -
Nur Muhammad" Concept in Malay Manuscripts: Tajalliy and Faidhun's Perspective Study
The Controversy of "Nur Muhammad" Concept in Malay Manuscripts: Tajalliy and Faidhun's Perspective Study Sangidu1, Harun Joko Prayitno2, Elita Ulfina3, Sherif Sa’ad El-Jayyar4, Awla Akbar Ilma5 {[email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] } Universitas Gajah Mada, Yogyakarta, Indonesia1, Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta, Surakarta, Indonesia2, IAIN Surakarta,Surakarta, Indonesia3, Bany Suef University, Egypt4, Suez Canal University, Egypt5 Abstract. The issue of the concept of "Nur Muhammad" in the general perspective still cannot resolve the nature of beings and life. This research is intended to explore the controversy surrounding the concept of "Nur Muhammad", focusing particularly on the manuscript Hikayat Nur Muhammad but also considering other Malay manuscripts to explore how "Nur Muhammad" was understood. In the context of Islamic philosophy, the concept of tajalliy (emanation) holds that everything in the universe, including human beings, originate from the "Nur Muhammad", the Almighty, viewed as the source of all light. Disagreement over the process through which the universe and its contents were created, including human beings, has created conflict between the Ahlu Wachdatil-Wujūd (Syaikh Hamzah Fansuri, Syaikh Syamsuddin As-Samatrani, and their followers) and the Ahlu Wachdatisy-Syuhūd (Syaikh Nuruddin Ar-Raniry and his followers). This research has found that the Ahlu Wachdatil-Wujūd have held that the process through which "Nur Muhammad" spread from ta`ayyun tsāniy (second reality) or a`yān tsābitah (fixed reality) to a`yān khārijiyyah (reality outside Dzāt, Wujūd, and His essence) was not a process of creation, but rather one of radiance or tajalliy. -
Hamzah Fansuri: Pelopor Tasawuf Wujudiyah Dan Pengaruhnya Hingga Kini Di Nusantara
DOI: 10.21274/epis.2017.12.1.261-286 HAMZAH FANSURI: PELOPOR TASAWUF WUJUDIYAH DAN PENGARUHNYA HINGGA KINI DI NUSANTARA Syamsun Ni’am Fakultas Tarbiyah dan Ilmu Keguruan IAIN Tulungagung [email protected] Abstrak Artikel ini ingin melacak aspek historisitas dan kontinuitas tasawuf yang tumbuh dan berkembang di Nusantara. Hamzah Fansuri adalah sufi pertama yang mengajarkan tasawuf berpaham wujudiyah (panteisme) di Nusantara. Tasawuf paham wujudiyah diperoleh Hamzah Fansuri dari Ibnu ‘Arabi, Abu Yazid al-Bisthami, al-Hallaj, al-Rumi, al-Attar, al-Jami, dan lain- lain. Karya Hamzah Fansuri yang dianggap monumental yang hingga kini memeliki pengaruh besar di Nusantara adalah Asrar al-‘Arifin, al-Muntahi, dan Syarab al-‘Asyiqin. Tidak sedikit kajian yang muncul tentang tasawuf Hamzah Fansuri ini baik dari pengkaji Barat maupun Timur. Pengaruhnya pun tidak hanya di wilayah Jawa, namun juga hingga ke Negeri Perak, Perlis, Kelantan, Terengganu, dan lain-lain. Adapun struktur artikel ini terdiri dari pendahuluan, biografi singkat Hamzah Fansuri berikut karya- karyanya, ajaran tasawuf wujudiyahnya, pengaruhnya di Nusantara dan dunia, dan Kontribusi Hamzah Fansuri terhadap perkembangan studi Islam di Nusantara. Akhirnya ditemukan bahwa tasawuf wujudiyah Hamzah Fansuri telah memberikan pengaruh luas, tidak hanya dalam lanskap kajian tasawuf, namun juga pada kajian Islam pada umumnya. Pengaruh kuat dalam kajian tasawuf setelahnya adalah munculnya dua kelompok yang berbeda. Satu kelompok mengapresiasi dan mengembangkan ajarannya hingga kini, dan kelompok lainnya justru menentang dan menganggapnya sebagai ajaran tasawuf sesat (heterodoks). Syamsun Ni’am: Hamzah Fansuri................. [This article is trying to trace the aspect of tasawuf historicity and continuity that has grown and developed in Nusantara. Hamzah Fansuri is the first Sufi who teaches tasawuf referred to wujudiyah (panteism) in Nusantara. -
Rekonstruksi Konsep Fakir Dan Miskin Sebagai Mustahik Zakat
Rekonstruksi konsep fakir dan miskin sebagai mustahik zakat Dede Rodin Fakultas Ekonomi dan Bisnis Islam UIN Walisongo Semarang E-mail: [email protected] Among asnaf} are entitled to receive zakat is faqir> and miskin> , but both groups are often interpreted overlap.This article aims to reconstruct the concept of faqir> and miskin> with perspective of the Qur’an. This is because that, in addition to the Qur’an is believed by Muslims as the main source of law, also the concept of faqir> and miskin as well as ‘illat that causes both as mustahik zakat will make the distribution of zakat in accordance with its objectives. The study of the verses of the Qur’an about the faqir> and miskin> , results the conclusions: First, faqir> is who are deterred from livelihoold as work reason or udhur. The work reason is due to religious activity or work shar’i as da’wah and jihad. While the udhur reason caused by kauni destiny like a disability, palsied, and old. Thus, ‘illat for faqr groups derived from God’s glory and the exam so that they get the respect, zakat and other compensation. The glory reason coming from the work shar’iyyah, while the test reason comes from udhur kauniyyah. While the miskin> are literally means sakana; silent and not moving, that miskin> terms describe the result of a weak state of a person because he chose sakana lifestyle (silent, static, not developing skills in his life). As a result he became poor and do not have anything whatsoever to fulfill their needs. -
The Body, Subjectivity, and Sociality
THE BODY, SUBJECTIVITY, AND SOCIALITY: Fakir Lalon Shah and His Followers in Contemporary Bangladesh by Mohammad Golam Nabi Mozumder B.S.S in Sociology, University of Dhaka, 2002 M.A. in Sociology, University of Pittsburgh, 2011 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2017 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences This dissertation was presented by Mohammad Golam Nabi Mozumder It was defended on April 26, 2017 and approved by Lisa D Brush, PhD, Professor, Sociology Joseph S Alter, PhD, Professor, Anthropology Waverly Duck, PhD, Associate Professor, Sociology Mark W D Paterson, PhD, Assistant Professor, Sociology Dissertation Advisor: Mohammed A Bamyeh, PhD, Professor, Sociology ii Copyright © by Mohammad Golam Nabi Mozumder 2017 iii THE BODY, SUBJECTIVITY, AND SOCIALITY: FAKIR LALON SHAH AND HIS FOLLOWERS IN CONTEMPORARY BANGLADESH Mohammad Golam Nabi Mozumder, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2017 I introduce the unorthodox conceptualization of the body maintained by the followers of Fakir Lalon Shah (1774-1890) in contemporary Bangladesh. This study is an exploratory attempt to put the wisdom of the Fakirs in conversation with established social theorists of the body, arguing that the Aristotelian conceptualization of habitus is more useful than Bourdieu’s in explaining the power of bodily practices of the initiates. My ethnographic research with the prominent Fakirs—participant observation, in-depth interview, and textual analysis of Lalon’s songs—shows how the body can be educated not only to defy, resist, or transgress dominant socio-political norms, but also to cultivate an alternative subjectivity and sociality. -
Tanggung Jawab Nafkah Suami Fakir
El-Usrah: Jurnal Hukum Keluarga https://jurnal.ar-raniry.ac.id/index.php/usrah/index Vol. 3 No.2 Juli-Desember 2020 ISSN: 2549 – 3132 ║ E-ISSN: 2620-8083 Tanggung Jawab Nafkah Suami Fakir Perspektif Mazhab Mālikī dan Relevansinya dengan Konteks Kekinian Soraya Devy Suheri Fakultas Syari’ah dan Hukum UIN Ar-Raniry Email: [email protected] Abstrak Ulama mazhab pada umumnya sepakat suami tidak dibebani kewajiban untuk memberi nafkah selama ia tidak mampu. Namun, berbeda apakah tanggung jawab nafkah tersebut tetap dibebankan kepada suami dalam bentuk utang ataupun tidak. Dalam masalah ini terdapat perselisihan di kalangan ulama. Penelitian ini diarahkan pada pemikiran mazhab Mālikī tentang tanggung jawab nafkah suami fakir. Berdasarkan masalah stersebut, maka rumusan adalah: Bagaimanakah dalil dan metode istinbāṭ yang digunakan mazhab Mālikī dalam menetapkan Tanggung Jawab Nafkah Suami Fakir?, dan Apa saja konsekuensi hukum suami tidak mampu membiayai isteri (fakir) menurut mazhab Mālikī?. Data-data yang dikumpulan dianalisis dengan cara deskriptif-analisis. Hasil analisa penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Dalil yang digunakan mazhab Mālikī yaitu ketentuan QS. al-Ṭalāq ayat 7. Ayat ini digunakan sebagai dalil gugurnya nafkah suami yang sedang mengalami kesulitan harta atau fakir. Dalil lainnya mengacu pada ketentuan QS. al- Baqarah ayat 231, QS. al-Nisā’ ayat 19, QS. al-Ṭalāq ayat 6, dan hadis riwayat Imām Mālik dalam al-Muwaṭṭa’ dari Sa’īd bin Musayyab. Dalil ini digunakan sebagai dasar hukum bolehnya isteri memilih bercerai dengan suami fakir. Metode istinbāṭ yang digunakan mazhab Mālikī, yaitu metode bayanī dan istiṣlāhī. Metode bayanī digunakan dalam kaitan gugurnya nafkah suami fakir terhadap isterinya. Sementara metode istiṣlāhī digunakan dalam kaitan konsekuensi hukum isteri dibolehkan memilih bercerai dengan suami dengan timbangan kemaslahatannya. -

R. Feener a Re-Examination of the Place of Al-Hallaj in the Development of Southeast Asian Islam
R. Feener A re-examination of the place of al-Hallaj in the development of Southeast Asian Islam In: Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde 154 (1998), no: 4, Leiden, 571-592 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl Downloaded from Brill.com09/30/2021 12:59:33AM via free access R. MICHAEL FEENER A Re-Examination of the Place of al-Hallaj in the Development of Southeast Asian Islam For decades, the academic study of Islam in Southeast Asia has been domin- ated by a preoccupation with the role of mysticism in the region. From the earliest descriptions in Raffles' History of Java of 1817 to the anthropological writings of Clifford Geertz (Geertz I960, 1968), the mystical orientation of Southeast Asian Islam has been assumed a priori. Such an orientation has dominated the contents of several Leiden dissertations, and eventually led to Professor Johns' thesis concerning the role of Sufi turuq in the Islamization of the region.1 While there is no denying that some schools of Islamic mystic thought have been influential in the development of Islamic civilization in Southeast Asia, it seems inadvisable to continue taking the 'mystical' nature of Islam in the region as a given. Rather, we should refrain from letting the nebulous term 'Sufism' bias us in our investigations of the actual situation in both its historical and contemporary contexts. It was just such a predisposition to find the 'mystical' in Southeast Asian Islam that was evident in the Dutch publications cited by Massignon in his Passion.2 Going by indications in this handful of studies, Massignon came to imagine a much more prominent role of 'Sufism', and of Hallajian elements therein, than it may have actually played.
