  • Understanding the Concept of Islamic Sufism
    Journal of Education & Social Policy Vol. 1 No. 1; June 2014 Understanding the Concept of Islamic Sufism Shahida Bilqies Research Scholar, Shah-i-Hamadan Institute of Islamic Studies University of Kashmir, Srinagar-190006 Jammu and Kashmir, India. Sufism, being the marrow of the bone or the inner dimension of the Islamic revelation, is the means par excellence whereby Tawhid is achieved. All Muslims believe in Unity as expressed in the most Universal sense possible by the Shahadah, la ilaha ill’Allah. The Sufi has realized the mysteries of Tawhid, who knows what this assertion means. It is only he who sees God everywhere.1 Sufism can also be explained from the perspective of the three basic religious attitudes mentioned in the Qur’an. These are the attitudes of Islam, Iman and Ihsan.There is a Hadith of the Prophet (saw) which describes the three attitudes separately as components of Din (religion), while several other traditions in the Kitab-ul-Iman of Sahih Bukhari discuss Islam and Iman as distinct attitudes varying in religious significance. These are also mentioned as having various degrees of intensity and varieties in themselves. The attitude of Islam, which has given its name to the Islamic religion, means Submission to the Will of Allah. This is the minimum qualification for being a Muslim. Technically, it implies an acceptance, even if only formal, of the teachings contained in the Qur’an and the Traditions of the Prophet (saw). Iman is a more advanced stage in the field of religion than Islam. It designates a further penetration into the heart of religion and a firm faith in its teachings.

  • The Prophet (Discussion Questions)
    The Prophet (Discussion Questions) 1. Is Lebanese or Arab patriotism discernable? What is Gibran's view of America? Is there a political dimension to his work? 2. Can you identify with any of the characters? Does Gibran want you to identify with them? Do you think somebody in Lebanon would feel closer or less close to them? Why? 3. What is the prophet's message? What is his vision of human relationships in society? 4. How, overall, does Almustafa rate his ministry to Orphalese? 5. Can Gibran's writing be classified as immigration literature or are there more universal themes at work here? Could it just be romantic idealism? 6. How does Almitra figure in The Prophet? 7. How does Almustafa view nudity? 8. How does Almustafa relate to cities? 9. What is the function of human labor? 10. What is God's function in The Prophet? Is God a creator, provider, or savior, or does God serve some other function? 11. Does Almustafa's enigmatic promise to return through reincarnation fit in with his teachings on human nature? https://www.grpl.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/The-Prophet.pdf The Prophet (About the Author) Kahlil Gibran, known in Arabic as Gibran Khalil Gibran, was born January 6, 1883, in Bsharri, Lebanon, which at the time was part of Syria and part of the Ottoman Empire. In 1885 Gibran emigrated with his mother and siblings to the United States, where they settled in the large Syrian and Lebanese community in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1904 Gibran began publishing articles in an Arabic-language newspaper and also had his first public exhibit of his drawings, which were championed by the Boston photographer Fred Holland Day.

As an artist, Gibran created hundreds of drawings and paintings and as an author he wrote in both English and Arabic. Gibran died at the age of 48 in New York The Khalil Gibran Collection Volume I. Gibran was a hopeless romantic, he strongly believed in the power of generosity and in taking the best out of every experience, good or bad. Here are 26 Kahlil Gibran quotes to teach you about the deep meaning of love. Out of The Khalil Gibran Collection Volume I have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars. One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life. If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. Your children are not your children. I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers. Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution. No human relation gives one possession The Khalil Gibran Collection Volume I another—every two souls are absolutely different. In friendship or in love, the two side by side raise hands together to find what one cannot reach alone.

  • The Prophetic Books of William Blake : Milton
    W. BLAKE'S MILTON TED I3Y A. G.B.RUSSELL and E.R.D. MACLAGAN J MILTON UNIFORM WirH THIS BOOK The Prophetic Books of W. Blake JERUSALEM Edited by E. R. D. Maclagan and A. G. B. Russell 6s. net : THE PROPHETIC BOOKS OF WILLIAM BLAKE MILTON Edited by E. R. D. MACLAGAN and A. G. B. RUSSELL LONDON A. H. BULLEN 47, GREAT RUSSELL STREET 1907 CHISWICK PRESS : CHARLES WHITTINGHAM AND CO. TOOKS COURT, CHANCERY LANE, LONDON. INTRODUCTION. WHEN, in a letter to his friend George Cumberland, written just a year before his departure to Felpham, Blake lightly mentions that he had passed " nearly twenty years in ups and downs " since his first embarkation upon " the ocean of business," he is simply referring to the anxiety with which he had been continually harassed in regard to the means of life. He gives no hint of the terrible mental conflict with which his life was at that time darkened. It was more actually then a question of the exist- ence of his body than of the state of his soul. It is not until several years later that he permits us to realize the full significance of this sombre period in the process of his spiritual development. The new burst of intelle6tual vision, accompanying his visit to the Truchsessian Pi6lure Gallery in 1804, when all the joy and enthusiasm which had inspired the creations of his youth once more returned to him, gave him courage for the first time to face the past and to refledl upon the course of his deadly struggle with " that spe6lrous fiend " who had formerly waged war upon his imagination.

  • “In the School of Prophets Throws Fresh Light on the Integral Relationship Between Prophecy and Mysticism in Merton's Life A
    “In the School of Prophets throws fresh light on the integral relationship between prophecy and mysticism in Merton’s life and writings. Mining a range of sources sometimes overlooked in Merton studies, Ephrem Arcement ably guides the reader beneath the surface of the many-faceted diamond that is Merton’s paradoxical spirituality of solitude and social engagement, resistance and hope. Especially in Merton’s engagement with poetic visionaries like Blake and Vallejo, Arcement gestures to Christian hope as seeking to cut through the ‘great tangled knot of lies’ in mass society even while recognizing the ‘flowering of ordinary possibilities’ hidden in everyday life. An aptly rich and multilayered study of Merton’s Christ-haunted spirituality, still drawing us in, one hundred years after his birth.” — Christopher Pramuk Associate Professor, Theology Xavier University Author of At Play in Creation: Merton’s Awakening to the Feminine Divine “Ephrem Arcement situates Merton’s prophetic life and witness, most pronounced in the final decade of his life, within a much broader understanding of the prophetic vocation, integrating many seemingly diffuse elements from throughout Merton’s life. In the School of Prophets is a thoughtful, challenging treatise that underscores Merton’s stature as a true man of God, like the prophets of old, calling us forward and challenging us to labor for the fidelity to God to which Merton himself strived. This is a refreshing and vital approach to understanding Merton’s prophetic vocation.” — Dr. Paul M. Pearson Director
