UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles the Road UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Road from Damascus: Circulation and the Redefinition of Islam in the Ottoman Empire, 1620-1720 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Nir Shafir 2016 © Copyright by Nir Shafir 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Road from Damascus: Circulation and the Redefinition of Islam in the Ottoman Empire, 1620-1720 by Nir Shafir Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Nile Spencer Green, Co-Chair Professor Sanjay Subrahmanyam, Co-Chair In the seventeenth century, the Ottoman Empire was marked by constant polemical disputes over Islamic religious practices. By the end of the century, these debates, which covered topics as varied as the permissibility of smoking tobacco or saint worship, had become so heated the many Muslims in the empire were willing to declare their co-religionists heretics. I use these polemical disputes as a setting in which to explore theories and approaches of religious transformation in the Islamic world. Rather than emphasize religious change driven by socio-economic forces or the disciplinary mechanisms of the state, I focus instead on how Islamic religiosity changed as it became increasingly entangled in the material world of the Eastern Mediterranean. I argue that intensified regimes of circulation of objects and people, especially between the Arabic and ii Turkish-speaking (Rumi) segments of the empire, were generative of key developments of Ottoman religiosity such as novel forms of reading and writing, a culture of pilgrimage centered on the hajj, and, indeed, the bitter polemicism itself. I do this through four detailed case studies of heresy, manuscript “pamphlets,” pilgrimage, and travelogues. The dissertation thus makes two contributions. The first is to integrate discussions of materiality and circulation into our understanding of the transformation of Islamic religiosity in the early modern Ottoman Empire. This is reflected not only in my analysis but also in my research method, in which the materiality of the manuscripts themselves helps me uncover unknown writers and topics and connect a myriad of unrelated works. The second contribution is to highlight how the sustained encounter, exchange, and connectivity between Rumis and Arabs became an important motor of religious and cultural change in the empire. iii The dissertation of Nir Shafir is approved.

  • The Song Elite's Obsession with Death, the Underworld, and Salvation
    BIBLID 0254-4466(2002)20:1 pp. 399-440 漢學研究第 20 卷第 1 期(民國 91 年 6 月) Visualizing the Afterlife: The Song Elite’s Obsession with Death, the Underworld, and Salvation Hsien-huei Liao* Abstract This study explores the Song elite’s obsession with the afterlife and its impact on their daily lives. Through examining the ways they perceived the relations between the living and the dead, the fate of their own afterlives, and the functional roles of religious specialists, this study demonstrates that the prevailing ideas about death and the afterlife infiltrated the minds of many of the educated, deeply affecting their daily practices. While affected by contem- porary belief in the underworld and the power of the dead, the Song elite also played an important role in the formation and proliferation of those ideas through their piety and practices. Still, implicit divergences of perceptions and practices between the elite and the populace remained abiding features under- neath their universally shared beliefs. To explore the Song elite’s interactions with popular belief in the underworld, several questions are discussed, such as how and why the folk belief in the afterlife were accepted and incorporated into the elite’s own practices, and how their practices corresponded to, dif- fered from, or reinforced folk beliefs. An examination of the social, cultural, * Hsien-huei Liao is a research associate in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University, U.S.A. 399 400 漢學研究第20卷第1期 and political impact on their conceptualization of the afterlife within the broad historical context of the Song is key to understand their beliefs and practices concerning the underworld.

    SHAH WALIY ALLAH ATTEMPTS TO REVISE WAHDAT AL- WUJUD BY ABDUL HAQ ANSARI HE theosophical system of re?ahdat al-zvujud', or ontological/ Texistential monism, which Ibn al-'Arabi (d. 638/1240) for- mulated, became very soon popular among the sufis. Some of them, however, did not agree with it, others disliked, and some even denounced it. Nevertheless, the doctrine continued to dominate sufi speculation for four hundred years till Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi (d. 1034/1624) subjected its basic concepts as well as its moral and religious consequences to searching criticism, and came out with a parallel theosophy 2, popularly known as wahdat al-shuhud. Sirhindi said that mystical experience has three levels: One is the level of pure union which in modern terminology is called unitive experience; next is the experience of separation after union (farq bald al-j*amc) in which the mystic is one with God in one sense, and different from him in another; the final stage of the experience is that when the feeling of oneness or union completely disappears and God is perceived as transcending the world absolutely. Sirhindi said that some sufis like Al-Hallaj 3 (d. 309/922), remained at the first stage till the end of their life; others moved to the second stage, but stayed on there; only a few rose up to the third stage. He claims that Ibnul Arabi stayed on the second stage, and could not 1 There is a vast literature on wahdat al-wuj�d,but The Mystical Philosophyof Muhyi-d Din Ibnul Arabi of the late Dr.

Tulisan ini mengkaji pandangan Abû Ishâq al-Shâthibî (w. 790/1388) tentang bidah versus al-mashlahah al-mursalah dan al-istihsân. Karya al-Syâthibî tentang konsep bidah dalam kitabnya, al-I'tishâm, sebagai respons terhadap ulama di zamannya yang menganggap bahwa al-mashlahah al-mursalah dan al-istihsân sebagai bentuk inovasi (al-bid‘ah).

Pembahasan tentang bidah sebagai perbuatan yang bertentangan dengan prinsip syariah akan dianalisis dengan prinsip legalitas al-mashlahah al-mursalah dan al-istihsân sebagai bagian dari metodologi penggalian hukum setelah Alquran, Sunah, ijmak, dan qiyâs.

  • Reinterpretation of Tarekat and the Teachings of Sufism According to Said Nursi
    Millah: Jurnal Studi Agama Vol. 20, No. 2 (2021), pp 355-384 ISSN: 2527-922X (e); 1412-0992 (p) DOI: 10.20885/millah.vol20.iss2.art7 Reinterpretation of Tarekat and the Teachings of Sufism According to Said Nursi Cemal Sahin Hayrat Fondation, Istanbul, Turkey [email protected] Zaimul Asroor Universitas Islam Negeri Syarif Hidayatullah, Jakarta, Indonesia [email protected] Abstract In this modern-contemporary era, Muslims are often faced with the question, “Is it necessary to follow the teachings of the tarekat? Didn’t the tarekat (especially after al-Ghazali criticized the philosophical tradition) cause Muslims to decline and lose their critical power?” Moreover, some sufism teachings such as wahdatul wujud, wahdatus syuhud etc. Often considered as deviating from the pure teachings of Islam, especially by the Wahabi group. In order to answer some of these questions, the writer tries to present how Said Nursi responds in the interpretation of Risalah Nur. Nursi said that, "The present time is not the time of the tarekat." If it is not understood comprehensively, it will cause the reader to be inaccurate in concluding that generally Nursi rejects tarekat and some sufism teachings. That is why the writer wants to present which side of the teachings of tarekat and sufism that Nursi criticizes and what is his new offer. The research method that the author uses is library research with a socio-historical and descriptive-analysis approach using Risalah Nur as the primary source and several supporting books that are still related to the theme as a secondary source. The writer finds Millah Vol.
