    Dost-Muhammad Preface to the Bahram Mirza Album Dost-Muhammad (fl. 938-72/1531-64) of Gawashwan, a village near Herat, prepared in 951/1544 for Bahram Mirza (1517-1549), brother of the Safavid Shah Tahmasp (r. 1524- 76) and patron of the arts, an album of calligraphic specimens and paintings that is now in Istanbul, Topkapi Sarayi Miizesi (H.2154). In the florid preface he wrote for the album he traces the history of calligraphy, master-pupil relationships in the calligraphic art, the his- tory of painting and painters, and inventories the scribes and artists who were employed in Shah Tahmasp's studio.

  • Cholland Masters Thesis Final Draft
    Copyright By Christopher Paul Holland 2010 The Thesis committee for Christopher Paul Holland Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Rethinking Qawwali: Perspectives of Sufism, Music, and Devotion in North India APPROVED BY SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: Supervisor: __________________________________ Syed Akbar Hyder ___________________________________ Gail Minault Rethinking Qawwali: Perspectives of Sufism, Music, and Devotion in North India by Christopher Paul Holland B.A. Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin May 2010 Rethinking Qawwali: Perspectives of Sufism, Music, and Devotion in North India by Christopher Paul Holland, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2010 SUPERVISOR: Syed Akbar Hyder Scholarship has tended to focus exclusively on connections of Qawwali, a north Indian devotional practice and musical genre, to religious practice. A focus on the religious degree of the occasion inadequately represents the participant’s active experience and has hindered the discussion of Qawwali in modern practice. Through the examples of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s music and an insightful BBC radio article on gender inequality this thesis explores the fluid musical exchanges of information with other styles of Qawwali performances, and the unchanging nature of an oral tradition that maintains sociopolitical hierarchies and gender relations in Sufi shrine culture. Perceptions of history within shrine culture blend together with social and theological developments, long-standing interactions with society outside of the shrine environment, and an exclusion of the female body in rituals.

  • Mystical Thoughts of Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti and Chishtiyya Sufi Order
    T.C SELÇUK ÜNİVERSİTESİ MEVLÂNA ARAŞTIRMALARI ENSTİTÜSÜ MEVLÂNA VE MEVLEVİLİK ARAŞTIRMALARI ANABİLİM DALI MEVLÂNA VE MEVLEVİLİK ARAŞTIRMALARI BİLİM DALI MYSTICAL THOUGHTS OF KHWAJA MUINUDDIN CHISHTI AND CHISHTIYYA SUFI ORDER (MUİNİDDİN ÇİŞTİ- TASAVVUFİ GÖRÜŞLERİ VE ÇİŞTİYYE TARİKATI) Mahir NİRATHİNMEL PUTHİYAPURAYİL KOORANTAKATH YÜKSEK LİSANS TEZİ Danışman Dr. Öğr. Üyesi Hakan KUYUMCU Konya – 2018 II III IV PREFACE The Persian term ‘Khwaja’ carries the meaning of ‘master’. In Indian sub continent, the general usage of the word ‘khwaja’ stands for Khwaja Muinuddin Hasan al Chishti. Similarly we can see the word ‘Moulana’ (in Arabic language the word moula also carries the meaning of ‘master’) represents jalauddin Rumi. The magic of being collective noun, a particular noun in their life is not accidental. Vice versa, it was the result of admiration of the people. When we know the importance of the message that they conveyed to the humanity, we can certainly say that they deserve to be called so. As far as concerning Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti he had heavy responsibilities in Indian subcontinent as the people had degenerated in religious, social, political and cultural facets. By spreading the everlasting messages of love, consideration, charity and broadmindedness he redirected the flow of the history of Indian subcontinent. The records show that by the attraction to his charming personality, about 90 million people had embraced Islam. Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti was the contribution of Chishtiyya Sufi order, a well known and far rooted mystical way in the world established by Abu Ishaq al Shami in Herat, Afghanistan in 930 CE. From the beginning of its formation, it is standing for the spreading of the universal message of Islam.

    ABD AL-RAHMAN JAMI: “NAQSHBANDI SUFI, PERSIAN POET A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Farah Fatima Golparvaran Shadchehr, M.A. The Ohio State University 2008 Approved by Professor Stephen Dale, Advisor Professor Dick Davis Professor Joseph Zeidan ____________________ Advisor Graduate Program in History Copyright by Farah Shadchehr 2008 ABSTRACT The era of the Timurids, the dynasty that ruled Transoxiana, Iran, and Afghanistan from 1370 to 1506 had a profound cultural and artistic impact on the history of Central Asia, the Ottoman Empire, and Mughal India in the early modern era. While Timurid fine art such as miniature painting has been extensively studied, the literary production of the era has not been fully explored. Abd al-Rahman Jami (817/1414- 898/1492), the most renowned poet of the Timurids, is among those Timurid poets who have not been methodically studied in Iran and the West. Although, Jami was recognized by his contemporaries as a major authority in several disciplines, such as science, philosophy, astronomy, music, art, and most important of all poetry, he has yet not been entirely acknowledged in the post Timurid era. This dissertation highlights the significant contribution of Jami, the great poet and Sufi thinker of the fifteenth century, who is regarded as the last great classical poet of Persian literature. It discusses his influence on Persian literature, his central role in the Naqshbandi Order, and his input in clarifying Ibn Arabi's thought. Jami spent most of his life in Herat, the main center for artistic ability and aptitude in the fifteenth century; the city where Jami grew up, studied, flourished and produced a variety of prose and poetry.

Books in the series are academic monographs of intellectual distinction that mark a significant advance in the field. Isfahan and its Palaces Statecraft, Shi ’ ism and the Architecture of Conviviality in Early Modern Iran Sussan Babaie This beautifully illustrated history of Safavid Isfahan (1501–1722) explores the architectural and urban forms and networks of socio-cultural action that reflected a distinctly early modern and Perso-Shi ’ i practice of kingship. An immense building campaign, initiated in 1590/1, transformed Isfahan from a provincial, medieval and largely Sunni city into an urban-centered representation of the first Imami Shi ’ i empire in the history of Islam. The historical process of Shi ’ ification of Safavid Iran, and the deployment of the arts in situating the shifts in the politico-religious agenda of the imperial household, informs Sussan Babaie’s study of palatial architecture and urban environments of Isfahan and the earlier capitals of Tabriz and Qazvin. Babaie argues that, since the Safavid claim presumed the inheritance both of the charisma of the Shi ’ i Imams and of the aura of royal splendor integral to ancient Persian notions of kingship, a ceremonial regime was gradually devised in which access and proximity to the shah assumed the contours of an institutionalized form of feasting.

  • Ethnohistory of the Qizilbash in Kabul: Migration, State, and a Shi'a Minority
    ETHNOHISTORY OF THE QIZILBASH IN KABUL: MIGRATION, STATE, AND A SHI’A MINORITY Solaiman M. Fazel Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Anthropology Indiana University May 2017 i Accepted by the Graduate Faculty, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Doctoral Committee __________________________________________ Raymond J. DeMallie, PhD __________________________________________ Anya Peterson Royce, PhD __________________________________________ Daniel Suslak, PhD __________________________________________ Devin DeWeese, PhD __________________________________________ Ron Sela, PhD Date of Defense ii For my love Megan for the light of my eyes Tamanah and Sohrab and for my esteemed professors who inspired me iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This historical ethnography of Qizilbash communities in Kabul is the result of a painstaking process of multi-sited archival research, in-person interviews, and collection of empirical data from archival sources, memoirs, and memories of the people who once live/lived and experienced the affects of state-formation in Afghanistan. The origin of my study extends beyond the moment I had to pick a research topic for completion of my doctoral dissertation in the Department of Anthropology, Indiana University. This study grapples with some questions that have occupied my mind since a young age when my parents decided to migrate from Kabul to Los Angeles because of the Soviet-Afghan War of 1980s. I undertook sections of this topic while finishing my Senior Project at UC Santa Barbara and my Master’s thesis at California State University, Fullerton. I can only hope that the questions and analysis offered here reflects my intellectual progress.

  • Tadhkirat Al-Sh.U Lara
    Mir Dawlatshah Samarqandi Tadhkirat al-sh.u lara Mir Dawlatshah Samarqandi was the son of Amir Ala'uddawla Bakhtishah Isfarayini, one of Shahrukh's courtiers, and nephew of the powerful Amir Firozshah. Unlike his fore- bears, who "passed their time as aristocrats in ostentatiousness and opulence," Mir Dawlatshah, who was of a dervish bent and had some poetic talent, "sought seclusion and contented himself with a life of spiritual poverty and rustication to acquire learning and perfection."! At the age of fifty he began his Tadhkirat al-shu'ara (Memorial of poets), anecdotes about and short biographies of 150 Persian poets, ancient and modern, which he completed in 892/1487. The judgment of Mir Ali-Sher Nawa'i, to whom the work was dedicated, was that "anyone who reads it will realize the merit and talent of the compiler." Although the book deals primarily with poets, since poets generally were inextricably bound to royal patrons, it contains valuable anecdotal information on many pre- Timurid, Timurid and Turcoman rulers. The synopses of rulers' careers and anecdotes illustrative of their characters included by Dawlatshah are translated and given here. * SULTANUWAYS JALAYIR2 out of a greedy poet's house is a difficult task," and gave him the candlestick.

  • Persian Drawing, Ca. 1400-1450: Materials and Creative Procedures

Their rulings are abraded, of evidence preserved in albums is powerful proof that edges slightly scuffed, and paper surfaces faintly dabbed drawings had a creative currency and at some point with ink and mottled with grease. It is a confusing came to be valued for their own sake. juncture. The drawings are oriented away from the spiraling center that they form and toward the outer edges of the album page, so that each drawing can be viewed correctly from one of the album page's outer edges. The content is equally confusing. Although the drawings may have been arranged according to some notion of a homology, 1 even the single sheet, domi- nated by what we discern as a primary subject-such as the man holding a dish, or the scene of an outdoor enthronement-is in fact a mixture of subjects. Drawn in various colors of ink along axes that are different from their adjacent primary subjects, which promise our eye a rule with which to make sense of the entire page, are a running wolf and antelope in one draw- ing and a humped ox and head of a bearded man in another. In yet another drawing, mounted riders ap- pear as if mirror reversed across an invisible center, though in only one does the lance meet a target in the form of a rearing lion.
