Most of us worship on the flimsiest knowledge and understanding of God. Were we to seek that knowledge, the signs and evidence would lead to increased perception enhancing the requested state of Worship. Then when the seeker tastes his first drop of the wine of 'closeness' to his Creator, his entire being changes, where he is ready to surrender all that is known for more of the unknown. When he senses the possibility of an actual relationship with the Creator his elation turns him into an infatuated lover. He feels jilted when the lure of intimacy wanes, falling into despair and sorrow. This then becomes the state of worship that the favoured ones are blessed with. Yet there are some from this group who surrender these volatile states imagining a higher perch of achievement, and fixed permanence. They are unfazed by separation or closeness. Servant-hood! With patience, and resignation to the Divine Will as their ultimate worship.

  • Religious Change and the Self in Muslim South Asia Since 1800
    Religious Change and the Self in Muslim South Asia since 1800 Francis Robinson Royal Holloway, University of London In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries South Asian Muslims, along with Muslims elsewhere in the world, began to experience religious change of revolutionary significance. This change involved a shift in the focus of Muslim piety from the next world to this one. It meant the devaluing of a faith of contemplation on God's mysteries and of belief in His capacity to intercede for men on earth. It meant the valuing instead of a faith in which Muslims were increasingly aware that it was they, and only they, who could act to create a just society on earth. The balance which had long existed between the other-worldly and the this-worldly aspects of Islam was moved firmly in favour of the latter. This process of change has had many expressions: the movements of the Mujahidin, the Faraizis, Deoband, the Ahl-i Hadiths and Aligarh in the nineteenth century; and those of the Nadwat ul Ulama, the Tablighi Jamaat, the Jamaat-i Islami and the Muslim modernists in the twentieth. It has also been expressed in many subtle shifts in behaviour at saints' shrines and in the pious practice of many Muslims. Associated with this process of change was a shift in traditional Islamic knowledge away from the rational towards the revealed sciences, and a more general shift in the sources of inspiration away from the Iranian lands towards the Arab lands. There was also the adoption of print and the translations of authoritative texts into Indian languages with all their subsequent ramifications - among them the emergence of 2 a reflective reading of the scriptures and the development of an increasingly rich inner landscape.

  • The Straight Path: Islam Interpreted by Muslims by Kenneth W. Morgan
    Islam -- The Straight Path: Islam Interpreted by Muslims return to religion-online 47 Islam -- The Straight Path: Islam Interpreted by Muslims by Kenneth W. Morgan Kenneth W. Morgan is Professor of history and comparative religions at Colgate University. Published by The Ronald Press Company, New York 1958. This material was prepared for Religion Online by Ted and Winnie Brock. (ENTIRE BOOK) A collection of essays written by Islamic leaders for Western readers. Chapters describe Islam's origin, ideas, movements and beliefs, and its different manifestations in Africa, Turkey, Pakistan, India, China and Indonesia. Preface The faith of Islam, and the consequences of that faith, are described in this book by devout Muslim scholars. This is not a comparative study, nor an attempt to defend Islam against what Muslims consider to be Western misunderstandings of their religion. It is simply a concise presentation of the history and spread of Islam and of the beliefs and obligations of Muslims as interpreted by outstanding Muslim scholars of our time. Chapter 1: The Origin of Islam by Mohammad Abd Allah Draz The straight path of Islam requires submission to the will of God as revealed in the Qur’an, and recognition of Muhammad as the Messenger of God who in his daily life interpreted and exemplified that divine revelation which was given through him. The believer who follows that straight path is a Muslim. Chapter 2: Ideas and Movements in Islamic History, by Shafik Ghorbal The author describes the history and problems of the Islamic society from the time of the prophet Mohammad as it matures to modern times.

I have been concerned to study the responses of Indian sufism to the growth of the colonial state, which established new forms of knowledge and new forms of order, and to the emergence of Muslim movements of revival and reform, which saw, and still see, sufism as inimical to the capacity of Muslims to sustain an Islamic society. It is a context more hostile for sufism than ever experienced before. I have approached the problem by examining the responses of three working spiritual traditions in nineteenth and twentieth century India.

  • Dalits and the Politics of Religion in India Joel
    Recognition and its Shadows: Dalits and the Politics of Religion in India Joel Lee Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 ©2015 Joel Lee All rights reserved ABSTRACT Recognition and its Shadows: Dalits and the Politics of Religion in India Joel Lee In its Constitution, postcolonial India acknowledges the caste-based practice of “untouchability” as a social and historical wrong, and seeks to redress the effects of this wrong through compensatory discrimination. Dalits are recognized by the state as having suffered the effects of untouchability, and thus as eligible for statutory protections and remedial measures, on the condition that they profess no religion “different from the Hindu religion” (a condition later expanded to include Sikhism and Buddhism as well). The present work charts the career of the idea underlying this condition of recognition – the idea that the “untouchable,” insofar as she has not converted to Islam, Christianity, or another “world religion,” must be Hindu – and its consequences, from the late nineteenth century to the present. Historically and ethnographically grounded in the community life of the sanitation labor castes – those Dalits castes that perform the vast majority of South Asia’s sanitation work – in the north Indian city of Lucknow, the study tracks the idea from its ruptive colonial beginnings to its propagation by Hindu nationalists, induction into mainstream nationalism and installation in the edifice of postcolonial law. This is also an account of the everyday effects of postcolonial India’s regime of recognition in the present: what it confers, what it transforms, what hides in its shadows.
