Meditieren Mit Der Mala Beten Mit Der Misbaha MEDITIEREN MIT DER MALA Buddhismus/ Hinduismus In der Japa Meditation wird mit jeder Gebetsperle ein Mantra (ein Satz, eine besonders heilige Formel, die man singend, flüsternd, laut oder tonlos rezitiert) wiederholt. Nimm die Mala in die Hand und wiederhole ein Mantra. Schiebe dabei mit dem Daumen bei jeder Wiederholung eine Perle über Deinen Zeigefinger. Hier sind 2 bekannte Mantren: Ham sa – ich bin (das) lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu – Mögen alle Lebewesen frei und glücklich sein und möge ich mit meinen Gedanken, Worten und Handlungen auf bestmögliche Weise dazu beitragen Alternativ kannst Du auch bei jeder Perle einen Namens Gottes denken oder laut aussprechen/ summen/ murmeln … BETEN MIT DER MISBAHA Islam I. Die Misbaha ist ein Hilfsmittel bei der Ausführung des Dhikr (meditative Übung zur Vergegenwärtigung Gottes, in der der Name Allah fortlaufend still im Herzen wiederholt wird), besonders im Sufismus. → Sprich still im Herzen den Namen Gottes. II. Die Misbaha dient dazu, das Abzählen zu erleichtern, wenn die 99 Namen Allahs gesprochen werden. → Sprich die 99 Namen Gottes oder suche Dir einen aus, der Dich jetzt anspricht und wiederhole ihn. III. Als Abschluss des Gebets wird Allah oft mit drei im Islam häufig gebrauchten Formeln gepriesen: Der Muslim spricht dabei 33 x ubḥānahu wa ta'ālā – gepriesen sei Gott 33 x al-ḥamdu li-llāh – gelobt sei Gott/ Gott sei Dank 33 x allāhu akbar – Gott ist größer 1 x das Glaubensbekenntnis (Lā ilāha illā llāh) – es gibt keinen Gott außer (den einen) Gott. → Preise Gott mit diesen oder eigenen Worten. BETEN MIT DEM KOMBOSKINI Christentum - Orthodox Das Orthodoxe Jesusgebet kennt verschiedene Formen. → Nimm das Komboskini in die Hand und sprich bei jedem Knoten innerlich die längere Form, die bei uns vor allem durch die „Aufrichtigen Erzählungen eines russischen Pilgers“ bekannt wurde, oder wiederhole einfach mit jedem Ausatmen den Namen Jesus. I. Herr Jesus Christus, Sohn des lebendigen Gottes, erbarme dich meiner. II. Jesus BETEN MIT DEM ROSENKRANZ Christentum - Katholisch Gebetsweise des katholischen Rosenkranzes: (1) Kreuzzeichen, Glaubensbekenntnis (2) Vater Unser (3) drei Ave Maria (4) Ehre sei dem Vater (5) fünf Gesätze mit je einem Vaterunser, zehn Ave Maria und einem Ehre sei dem Vater Im Gotteslob findest Du unter der Nummer 4 eine gute Einführung. Welches der Geheimnisse aus dem Leben Jesu spricht Dich besonders an? Wähle eines aus und bete mit dem Rosenkranz ein „Gesätz“. BETEN MIT DEN PERLEN DES GLAUBENS Christentum – Evangelisch Mit folgende Anregungen kannst Du an den Perlen entlang gehen: 1. Wer oder was ist Gott für mich? 2. In die Stille kommen. 3. Wie sehe ich mich selbst? Wer bin ich? 4. Welche Bedeutung hat die Taufe für mich? 5. Wo liegt meine persönliche Wüste? 6. Wo wünsche ich mir mehr Gelassenheit? 7. Liebe geben und empfangen – Wo darf ich beides erleben? 8. Was ist mein teuerstes Geheimnis – und was mein Dunkelstes? 9. Wie gehören Tod, Trauer und Leid zu meinem Leben – und zu meinem Glauben? 10. Wo mache ich Erfahrungen des neuen Lebens? .

He returned to Turkey in 1980 to focus on his academic career. He soon became an assistant professor at Boğaziçi University in 1984 and a professor in 1990. In 1983, TRT (Turkish Radio and Television Corporation) brought Öke on as a general consulting manager for various documentaries, including “Voyage from Cadiz to Samarkand in the Age of Tamerlane.” Up until 2006 he was involved in game shows, talk shows, news programs and discussion forums on TRT, as well as on privately owned channels.

  • SECULARISM NARRATIVES and ARAB AMERICAN FICTION a Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell Univer
    SECULARISM NARRATIVES AND ARAB AMERICAN FICTION A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Danielle Aberle Haque May 2014 © 2014 Danielle Aberle Haque SECULARISM NARRATIVES AND ARAB AMERICAN FICTION Danielle Haque, PhD Cornell University 2014 “Secularism Narratives and Arab American Fiction” focuses on contemporary fiction’s challenge to the liberal political construction of minority religious practices and community life as incompatible with modernity, progress, and secularism. U.S. secularism is not simply the absence of religion from the public sphere, but is underwritten by a particularly U.S. Protestant conception of religion that has historically shaped assumptions about what it means to be both religious and secular in the United States. Looking to Mohja Kahf, Rabih Alameddine, Ninar Esber, Mouir Fatmi, and Hasan Elahi, I explore immigrant narratives that work outside religious/secular binaries; rather than operating unequivocally within the terms of religious categorizations, contemporary writers often recast those terms and respond to the secularism narrative by scrambling the terms of the religious/secular binary through lived, embodied religious experience. These works dispute the dominant United States narrative of secularism and its claim to be universal and progressive; rather, they reveal how prohibitory secularism enforces an exclusionary citizenry through racialized immigration policies, Islamaphobic political rhetoric and popular culture, and the promotion of specific economic forms and ideologies worldwide. I argue that secularism is entangled with global ideologies of human rights, but also with the particularly United States legal discourses of privacy and property.

  • 9 Steps to Re-Opening Mosques Safely 2020
    9 Steps to Re-Opening Mosques Safely 2020 This guide is designed to help UK mosque leaders carefully plan and decide when and how to reopen, ahead of the expected easing of restrictions on places of worship for congregational prayer, whilst maintaining the safety and wellbeing of their communities. It is a non-exhaustive list of considerations based on feedback received to date, and should be interpreted according to your local community needs and context. [email protected] mcb.org.uk/coronavirus 2 9 Steps to Re-Opening Mosques Safely Re-Opening Mosques Safely In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficient, the Most Merciful When Muslims across the world closed their mosques in response to the unprecedented Coronavirus pandemic, we realised that this was one of the most difficult decisions we would have to take. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “There is no wisdom equal to good planning.” Several months on with lockdown restrictions easing, the new challenge of how to re-open mosques safely is proving to be not any easier. Alhumdulillah, there are literally dozens of different plans being drawn up across the world. We have attempted to bring together the best features of these plans in a simple 9-point plan. This also draws on feedback we have received from mosque leaders across the country through surveys, feedback webinars and one-to-one conversations during May and early June 2020, and is an updated version of the initial discussion guidelines issued in mid-May. It is important to note that the points within this document are suggestion, and should be interpreted in the context of the local situation of each mosque and with reference to local scholars and medical professionals.

I also argue that the adoption of English is necessarily tied to the rise of digital media and the perception of English as a “modern” marker of prestige and sobriety. This paper is organized in three parts. First, it traces the evolution of a reading public for Sufi devotional literature in Muslim Southeast Asia. Second, it investigates how and why producers of such literature have expressed themselves in English. Third, it analyzes how English operates in conjunction with Arabic in Sufi literature consumed in Singapore. I conclude that Sufi print culture’s adoption of English is a response to both the opportunities and the challenges of the present, constituting a reflection of Sufis’ pedagogical needs as well as an active appropriation of a loaded language. Keywords: Sufism, Singapore, Southeast Asian Islam, Sufi print culture, English Introduction This paper studies the emergence of Sufi devotional literature in English, as consumed and produced in Singapore. In the broader context of South and Southeast Asian Islamic literary networks, this paper traces the historical evolution of the publication and consump- tion of Sufi devotional literature in various media: in print, audio and video recordings, and digital media.
