  • A SUFI ‘FRIEND of GOD’ and HIS ZOROASTRIAN CONNECTIONS: the Paradox of Abū Yazīd Al-Basṭāmī ______Kenneth Avery
    SAJRP Vol. 1 No. 2 (July/August 2020) A SUFI ‘FRIEND OF GOD’ AND HIS ZOROASTRIAN CONNECTIONS: The Paradox of Abū Yazīd al-Basṭāmī ____________________________________________________ Kenneth Avery ABSTRACT his paper examines the paradoxical relation between the T famed Sufi ‘friend’ Abū Yazīd al-Basṭāmī (nicknamed Bāyazīd; d. 875 C.E. or less likely 848 C.E.) and his Zoroastrian connections. Bāyazīd is renowned as a pious ecstatic visionary who experienced dream journeys of ascent to the heavens, and made bold claims of intimacy with the Divine. The early source writings in both Arabic and Persian reveal a holy man overly concerned with the wearing and subsequent cutting of the non- Muslim zunnār or cincture. This became a metaphor of his constant almost obsessive need for conversion and reconversion to Islam. The zunnār also acts as a symbol of infidelity and his desire to constrict his lower ego nafs. The experience of Bāyazīd shows the juxtaposition of Islam with other faiths on the Silk Road in 9th century Iran, and despite pressures to convert, other religions were generally tolerated in the early centuries following the Arab conquests. Bāyazīd’s grandfather was said to be a Zoroastrian and the family lived in the Zoroastrian quarter of their home town Basṭām in northeast Iran. Bāyazīd shows great kindness to his non-Muslim neighbours who see in him the best qualities of Sufi Islam. The sources record that his saintliness influenced many to become Muslims, not unlike later Sufi missionaries among Hindus and Buddhists in the subcontinent. 1 Avery: Sufi Friend of God INTRODUCTION Bāyazīd’s fame as a friend of God is legendary in Sufi discourse.

  • An Analysis of Al-Hakim Al-Tirmidhi's Mystical
    AN ANALYSIS OF AL-HAKIM AL-TIRMIDHI’S MYSTICAL IDEOLOGY BASED ON BOOKS: BADʼU SHAANI AND SIRAT AL-AWLIYA Kazem Nasirizare, Ph.D. Candidate in Persian Language and Literature University of Zanjan, Iran Mehdi Mohabbati, Ph.D. Professor. at Department of Persian Language and Literature University of Zanjan Abstract. Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Hasan bin Bashir Bin Harun Al Hakim Al-Tirmidhi, also called Al- Hakim Al-Tirmidhi, is a Persian mystic living in the 3rd century AH. He is important in the history of Persian literature and the Persian-Islamic mysticism due to several reasons. First, he is one of the first Persian mystics who has significant works in the field of mysticism. Second, early instances of Persian prose can be identified in his world and taking the time that he was living into consideration, the origins of post-Islam Persian prose can be seen in his writings. Third, his ideas have had significant impacts on Mysticism, Sufism, and consequently, in the Persian mystical literature; thus, understanding and analyzing his viewpoints and works is of significant importance for attaining a better picture of Persian mystical literature. The current study attempts to analyze Al-Tirmidhi’s mystical ideology based on his two books: Bad’u Shanni Abu Abdullah (The Beginning of Abu Abdullah’s Journey) and Sirat Al-Awliya (Road of the Saints). Al-Tirmidhi’s ideology is going to be explained through investigating and analyzing his viewpoints regarding the manner of starting a spiritual journey, the status of asceticism and austerity in a spiritual journey, transition from the ascetic school of Baghdad to the Romantic school of Khorasan.

  • From Rabi`A to Ibn Al-Färich Towards Some Paradigms of the Sufi Conception of Love
    From Rabi`a to Ibn al-Färich Towards Some Paradigms of the Sufi Conception of Love By Suleyman Derin ,%- Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of doctor of philosophy Department of Arabic and 1Viiddle Eastern Studies The University of Leeds The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own work and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. September 1999 ABSTRACT This thesis aims to investigate the significance of Divine Love in the Islamic tradition with reference to Sufis who used the medium of Arabic to communicate their ideas. Divine Love means the mutual love between God and man. It is commonly accepted that the Sufis were the forerunners in writing about Divine Love. However, there is a relative paucity of literature regarding the details of their conceptions of Love. Therefore, this attempt can be considered as one of the first of its kind in this field. The first chapter will attempt to define the nature of love from various perspectives, such as, psychology, Islamic philosophy and theology. The roots of Divine Love in relation to human love will be explored in the context of the ideas that were prevalent amongst the Sufi authors regarded as authorities; for example, al-Qushayri, al-Hujwiri and al-Kalabadhi. The second chapter investigates the origins Of Sufism with a view to establishing the role that Divine Love played in this. The etymological derivations of the term Sufi will be referred to as well as some early Sufi writings. It is an undeniable fact that the Qur'an and tladith are the bedrocks of the Islamic religion, and all Muslims seek to justify their ideas with reference to them.

    Chapter 1 Origins, Foundations and Rivalries (850–1100) The Context The place is Baghdad and the year is around 850. It is over eight hundred miles of desert from where the Prophet announced his revelation in Mecca and more than two hundred years since he died. Although the word sufi (“wool-wearer”) has been around for many years as a nickname or even a reproach for the hermits of the surrounding wilderness, for the first time it is being used to refer to people in the city itself. And unlike the obscure and self- effacing renouncers in the mountains and desert, these men in the city not only wrote books telling others how to behave, but also achieved enough prominence in the eyes of their contemporaries and successors to have their books discussed and preserved. In one of the familiar paradoxes of religious history, the sheer fact that we know about these men tells us that they were not reclusive or anti-social figures who kept themselves apart from the world, but public men with public lives in perhaps the wealthiest and most cos- mopolitan city in the world. By the mid-ninth century, eight generations of fathers and sons have lived since Muhammad established his community of Muslims and in its third capital the pious and the scholarly among the heirs of that foundational community were more conscious than ever of the responsibilities of preserving the Prophet’s message in his absence. It is a time of unprecedented productivity, legal and moral, spiritual and intellec- tual; from the legacyCOPYRIGHTED of the Prophet and the first MATERIAL generations of Muslims, the many meanings of Islam are being created (and debated and sometimes suppressed).

  • Islām and Sūfism
    Isl ām and S ūfism © Copyright 1991/2006 by Timothy Conway, Ph.D. Brief Overview (for more on specific persons, starting with Prophet Muhammad, see next section) [Note: The saying or writing of the names of Prophet Muhammad and the other prophets [Jesus, Abraham, et al.] and certain eminent saints, but most especially that of Prophet Muhammad, when spoken by pious Muslims are always followed by inclusion of the reverential saying, Sall-All āhu ‘alayhi wa sallam , “God’s peace and blessings be upon him” (sometimes abbreviated in English as p.b.u.h.). For ease of readability, I have omitted that pious custom here.] [Note: The official Muslim calendar, which I have also not used here, is based on the lunar year of 354 days, twelve months of 29 and 30 days, beginning with Prophet Muhammad’s emigration from Mecca to Med īna in 622. To compute a year in the Common Era (C.E. / A.D.) from a Muslim year (h.), multiply the Muslim year by 0.969 and add this to 622. Example: 300 h.= 912-3 CE; 600 h.= 1203-4 CE; 1300 h.= 1881-2 CE.] * * * * * * * * * * sl ām, meaning “submission to All āh/God,” was founded by Prophet Muhammad (571-632) and seen by his fast-growing community as God’s way of bringing a revealed religion to the Arabian people.

  • Sufism in the Light of Orientalism
    Sufism in the Light of Orientalism Algis Uždavinys Research Institute of Culture, Philosophy, and Arts, Vilnius This article offers a discussion of the problems regarding different interpretations of Sufism, especially those promoted by the 19th century Orientalists and modern scholars. Contrary to the prevailing opinions of those European writers who “discovered” Sufism as a kind of the Persian poetry-based mysticism, presumably unrelated to Islam, the Sufis themselves (at least before the Western cultural expansion) regarded Sufism as the inmost kernel of Islam and the way of the Prophet himself. The title of our paper is rather paradoxical and not without irony, especially bearing in mind the metaphysical connotations of the word “light” (nur in Arabic), which is used here, however, in the trivial ordinary metaphorical sense and has nothing to do with any sort of mystical illumination. It certainly does not mean that Orientalism would be regarded as a source of some supernatural light, although the “light of knowledge”, upon which the academic scholarship so prides itself, may be understood simply as one hermeneutical perspective among others, thereby establishing the entire cluster of interpretative tales, or phenomenological fictions which are nonetheless sufficiently real within their own imaginative historical, if not ontological, horizons. The scholarly term “Sufism” (with the “-ism” ending characteristic of the prestigious tableaux of modern Western ideological constructions) was introduced in the 18th century by the European scholars, those who were more or less connected to the late 18th century policies of the East India Company. It appeared in the context of certain ideological and cultural predispositions as well as highly selective and idealized expectations.

  • Development of Sufism in Bengal
    DEVELOPMENT OF SUFISM IN BENGAL ABSTRACT Thesis Submitted for the degree of JBottor of $I)tlo£iopIi|> IN ISLAMIC STUDIES BY MUHAMMAD ISMAIL Under the supervision of Mr. AZOUDDIN KHAN READER DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1989 1 The present work seeks to investigate the Development of Sufism in Bengal from the thirteenth to the twentieth century. Mo serious attempt has so far been Tiade to reconstruct the history of Sufism in i^-'ngal. The attention of the most of the scholars has centred- round the political history of Bengal,- making occasior. 1 references to its Saints but their accounts are uncritical and generally based upon the later hagiological material. In the present work an attempt has been made to make a fairly extensive and critical use of all sources available. Throughout the work we have attempted to justify by reasonable argument our reliance on a parti- cula'r source, wherever there has been a conflict of evidence or a contradiction. This aspect of the development of Sufism in Bengal is based on brief references found in the chronicles of Northern India and on the data collected from a study of inscriptions, coins and other archae^ogical evidence.. There is, however, sufficient materials in these chronicles as well as in the contemporary literature both Persian and Bengali available, with the help of which Develoo- nent of Sufisn in ^engal can be reconatructecl. In fact the Islaiaic proslelytization of India did not begin with coercion and blloashed; the first conversion were made by its Saints. Bengal's contact with the wiUslims, in the field of trade, colonization, and missionary work, began much earlier than its conquest in the thirteenth century.
