  • Turkish Literature from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Turkish Literature
    Turkish literature From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Turkish literature By category Epic tradition Orhon Dede Korkut Köroğlu Folk tradition Folk literature Folklore Ottoman era Poetry Prose Republican era Poetry Prose V T E A page from the Dîvân-ı Fuzûlî, the collected poems of the 16th-century Azerbaijanipoet Fuzûlî. Turkish literature (Turkish: Türk edebiyatı or Türk yazını) comprises both oral compositions and written texts in the Turkish language, either in its Ottoman form or in less exclusively literary forms, such as that spoken in the Republic of Turkey today. The Ottoman Turkish language, which forms the basis of much of the written corpus, was influenced by Persian and Arabic and used the Ottoman Turkish alphabet. The history of the broader Turkic literature spans a period of nearly 1,300 years. The oldest extant records of written Turkic are the Orhon inscriptions, found in the Orhon River valley in central Mongolia and dating to the 7th century. Subsequent to this period, between the 9th and 11th centuries, there arose among the nomadic Turkic peoples of Central Asia a tradition of oral epics, such as the Book of Dede Korkut of the Oghuz Turks—the linguistic and cultural ancestors of the modern Turkish people—and the Manas epic of the Kyrgyz people. Beginning with the victory of the Seljuks at the Battle of Manzikert in the late 11th century, the Oghuz Turks began to settle in Anatolia, and in addition to the earlier oral traditions there arose a written literary tradition issuing largely—in terms of themes, genres, and styles— from Arabic and Persian literature.

And Allah is well acquainted with all that ye do.” Holy Qur’an 64:8 “I am leaving behind me two important things: the Quran and the Ahl al-bayt. If you follow them both, you will never go astray.” Prophet Muhammad 1 BISMI-LLAHI-R-RAHMANI-R-RAHIM Allah is the Light Of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light Is as if there were a Niche And within it a Lamp: The Lamp enclosed in a Glass: The glass as it were A brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree An Olive neither of the East Nor of the West Whose Oil is well-nigh Luminous, Though fire scarce touched it; Light upon Light!

The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 DE-6 r^/R'-n Abstract This dissertation explores, within a framework provided by tradition and change, how Ismailis in Vancouver, primarily a religious community, formerly localized and spatially concentrated in East Africa, have been affected by migration into a secular state where they are spatially dispersed. Ismaili tradition is explicated through history and a recourse to documentary materials including the Qur*an, girians or compositions, firmans or guidances of the Imam (spiritual leader), and the rituals of the community. The chief feature of tradition may be identified as an overarching cosmology dichotomized as zahir and batin, glossed respectively as material (multiplicity and activity) and spiritual (unity and repose) in strict complementarity, the parts of which are activated through a spatial and a temporal movement from and to exteriority (zahir) and interiority (ba£in).

  • Jbottor of ^]^Iiagop|)P in Sunni Theology
    MUSLIM RELIGIO-REFORN MOVEMENTS IN BENGAL DURING THE NINETEENTH CENTURY ABSTRACT Tliesis Suhmitted Por the Award of the degree of JBottor of ^]^iIagop|)p IN Sunni Theology BY Md. Mahboobur Rahman M.Th. M.Phil. UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF Prof. Abdul Aleem Khan Chairman & Then Dean DEPARTMENT OF SUNNI THEOLOGY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1994 T^fe^l -^-•:;^r-.^v^^^'- 23FEBI99a A B S TRACT The present work seeks to investigate the Muslim Religious Reform Movements in Bengal during the Nineteenth Century. Nineteenth century Bengal is a significant phase as it affected Bengal;, Islamic reform movements in this century was a world wide phenomenon. In the sub-continent of India and Pakistan Shah Wall Allah was the dominating influence. The subsequent growth of his religious teaching spread out in Bengal and some important Islamic revivalist movements came into existence, e.g. i) Fara'idi movement of Haji Shari'at Allah, the founder directly inspired by Arab puritanism), ii) Tariqah-i-Muhammadiyah movement of Sayyed Ahmad Shaheed, iii) Titu Mir and his religious reform movement, and iv) Ahle-Hadith movement. No serious attempt has so far been made to reconstruct the history of the Muslim Religious Reform Movements in Bengal during the Nineteenth Century. The attention of the most of the scholars has centred round the political history of the Movement, making occasional references to its Socio-Religious aspects 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.

  • CS2 - Revisi1 1 26-7-2007 17:41:08 ‘RAISE YOUR VOICES and KILL YOUR ANIMALS’ ISLAMIC DISCOURSES on the IDD ELHAJJ and SACRIFICES in TANGA TANZANIA
    ‘RAISE YOUR VOICES AND VOICES YOUR ‘RAISE KILL YOUR ANIMALS’ YOUR KILL ‘RAISE YOUR VOICES AND KILL YOUR ANIMALS’ In Tanzania, the Idd el-Hajj is the local celebration of the Islamic Sacrificial Feast, marking the end of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj). Although its three most important elements (prayer, sermon and sacrifice) identify the ritual as a text- based phenomenon, this study shows how, despite its conformity to authoritative texts, the Idd is shaped by a dialectic of global and local events. Within these vari- ous influences, Muslim groups use the Idd el-Hajj as a tool to symbolically express their sense of belonging to the global Islamic community as well as to more local groups such as the Tanzanian nation-state and various urban mosques. Through discussions and performances of the Idd, they assume a position within an imagi- nary spatial and historical continuum that sometimes emphasises elements of the shared Muslim legacy, while at other times it stresses their need to differentiate themselves from other groups.
