  • Some Characteristics of Suhrawardi's Illuminationist Philosophy
    Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND January 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Some Characteristics of Suhrawardi’s Illuminationist Philosophy Ali Nazarialiabadi Islamic Azad University of Isfahan, Khorasgan, Iran Corresponding author: [email protected] Fathali Akbari Isfahan University, Isfahan, Iran E-mail: [email protected] Seyyed Hashem Golestani Islamic Azad University of Isfahan, Khorasgan, Iran [email protected] Abstract Perhaps one of the most distinctive features of Suhrawardi’s school of thinking is the belief that anyone who does not grasp onto the divine string would necessarily have gone astray. In fact, one would find out that reconciling neo-Platonic ideas with pre-Platonic ideas and incorporating Peripatetic philosophy into the religious foundations of Islam and Iran, Suhrawardi has successfully pursued a very ambitious objective. For Suhrawardi, the followers of the Eternal Wisdom deal with revelation and intuition rather than argumentation and philosophizing. It is important to note that the key to resolving ambiguities in understanding the ideas of philosophers such as Suhrawardi is in clarifying the corresponding terminology in another language. From the point of view of Suhrawardi, all the levels of existence and wisdom as well as the beginning and the continuity of the world, and the bliss and salvation of human beings are parts of the evolution of the Light. Unlike the Peripatetic philosophers, Shaikh al- ʿIshraq (Suhrawardi, master of Illumination) considers the Most High God’s knowledge of objects in an inclusively illuminated manner. Here, we will investigate some characteristics of the Illuminationist philosophy of Suhrawardi; some of which are heeding the scripture and Sunnah, reconciliation of ideas, language networks, expressions of mystery, Perennialism, illumination metaphysics, sympathetic encounters with the ancestors, revelation/intuition and gradation/skepticism.

  • Towards a Muslim Poetics of Nature*
    * pre­print version; forthcoming in a volume on religion and ecology edited by Munjed Murad Towards a Muslim Poetics of Nature Mohammed Rustom I would like to begin with an autobiographical account which takes us back to the fall of 2000, when I was a second­year undergraduate student at the University of Toronto. Like many of my classmates in philosophy, I had a fairly naïve understanding of what I was doing studying this discipline. I would eventually come to learn that there were different kinds of traditions of philosophy, and where one would end up focusing really had to do with a number of factors, not least one’s interests, predilections, and ultimate concerns. But, in the fall of 2000, as I sat in a very popular course on Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, such things were not entirely clear to me. I signed up for the course, to be honest, because the two authors who were its focus had names that sounded “cool.” The course description promised to give students a sense of the important and enduring themes in Kierkegaard and Nietzsche’s writings—themes which, in one way or another, helped define a number of pressing problems in several contemporary forms of philosophy. Little did I know that the course would be a catalyst for something else, and that in a profound way. One day, through the lens of Nietzsche, the professor was passive­aggressively emphasizing how there is no such thing as truth, how everything is an interpretation largely governed by contexts and received canons of understanding, etc.

  • Pathways to an Inner Islam
    Chapter One INTRODUCTION The spiritual, mystical, and esoteric doctrines and practices of Islam, which may be conveniently, if not quite satisfactorily, labeled as Sufi sm, have been among the main avenues of the understanding of this religion in Western aca- demic circles, and possibly among Western audiences in general. This stems from a number of reasons, not the least of which is a diff use sense that Sufi sm has provided irreplaceable keys for reaching the core of Muslim identity over the centuries, while providing the most adequate responses to contemporary disfi gurements of the Islamic tradition. It is in this context that we propose, in the current book, to show how the works of those whom Pierre Lory has called the “mystical ambassadors of Islam”1 may shed light on the oft-neglected availability of a profound and integral apprehension of Islam, thereby helping to dispel some problematic assumptions feeding many misconceptions of it. The four authors whom we propose to study have introduced Islam to the West through the perspective of the spiritual dimension that they themselves unveiled in the Islamic tradition. These authors were mystical “ambassadors” of Islam in the sense that their scholarly work was intimately connected to an inner call for the spiritual depth of Islam, the latter enabling them to intro- duce that religion to Western audiences in a fresh and substantive way. It may be helpful to add, in order to dispel any possible oversimplifi cations, that these authors should not be considered as representatives of Islam in the literal sense of one who has converted to that religion and become one of its spokesmen.2 None of these four “ambassadors” was in fact Muslim in the conventional, external, and exclusive sense of the word, even though two of them did attach themselves formally to the Islamic tradition in view of an affi liation to Sufi sm, in Arabic tasawwuf.

  • Henry Corbin and the Resolution of Modern Problems by Recourse to the Concept of the Imaginal Realm
    Henry Corbin and the Resolution of Modern Problems by Recourse to the Concept of the Imaginal Realm SEYYED MOHSEN MIRI Al-Mustafa International University, Iran [email protected] ABSTRACT: This article intends to approach the problems and concerns of the human being from the perspective of Henry Corbin. Corbin laid the groundwork of his thought by inquiring into the condition of the human being and the problems he is faced with. He found the solution to these problems in philosophical and metaphysical principles. Corbin attributed the problems of modern western thought to the peculiar ontology and epistemology of modern western philosophers, and he sought to resolve these problems by postulating a doctrine of the mundus imaginalis. In the present article, I will investigate a number of the modern problems that Corbin identified as posing a challenge to human thought – such as dualism in ontology and epistemology, secularization of philosophy (the separation of philosophy from theology), obsolescence of eschatology, desanctification of art, a one- sided approach to religion, and a lack of fundamental principles for an ecumenical effort to narrow the gap separating the various religions. Thereafter, I will present Corbin’s solution – which draws on Islamic metaphysics with special emphasis on the Imaginal Realm as an Iranian contribution to Islamic metaphysics, with a view to such Iranian philosophers as Avicenna, SuhrawardÐ, and MullÁ ÑadrÁ – followed by a brief criticism. KEYWORDS: Imaginal Realm (‘Álam mithÁl), Henry Corbin, modern problems, Islamic metaphysics, Iranian philosophers. Henry Corbin and the Resolution of Modern Problems Seyyed Mohsen Miri Introduction Henry Corbin (1903-1978) was arguably the most prominent western commentator of the spiritual wisdom and Islamic philosophy that developed within the matrix of Iranian intellectual thought.

  • World Monuments Fund and Partners Convene Watch Day Event at the Takkiyat Ibrahim Al-Gulshani in Cairo
    For Immediate Release World Monuments Fund and partners convene Watch Day event at the Takkiyat Ibrahim al-Gulshani in Cairo Takkiyat Ibrahim al-Gulshani is a major Sufi monument in Historic Cairo that is subject to a conservation project by the World Monuments Fund Event convened by World Monuments Fund, Ministry of Antiquities, Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation, Art Jameel, and Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport Alumni from the Jameel House of Traditional Arts in Cairo participated in the Watch Day Cairo, Egypt | July 3, 2019 -On June 29, the World Monuments Fund (WMF) convened a Watch Day event at the Takkiyat Ibrahim al-Gulshani, an important Sufi monument in the heart of Historic Cairo. The event was held with support from the Ministry of Antiquities and the Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation, and in participation with Art Jameel, an organisation that supports heritage, education and the arts, the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport, and Turath Conservation Group (TCG). The Takkiyat Ibrahim al-Gulshani was the first religious foundation established in Cairo after the Ottoman conquest of 1517 and was built between 1519 and 1524 by the eponymous Sufi sheikh from modern Azerbaijan. The complex was designed around a freestanding Mamluk-style mausoleum in the middle of a courtyard, framed by Sufi cells, mosque, kitchen, shops, and apartments for his devoted followers and family members. Until recently, the Takkiyat Ibrahim al-Gulshani was abandoned and lay in a state of disrepair, a victim of neglect, looting and the 1992 Cairo earthquake. Listed as a World Monuments Watch site in 2018, emphasising the urgent need for rehabilitation, the Takkiyat Ibrahim al-Gulshani is the subject of a major ongoing conservation effort by the WMF, supported by the Ministry of Antiquities and the Ambassadors Fund.
