Various parties have contrib- uted to the materialisation of this project in which different partners cooperated for mutual benefit. Knowledge transfer requires the collection, generation and processing of data and their subsequent interpretation and presentation of findings. Consequently this report on the Shigar microcosm benefits from earlier scientific undertakings and academic projects aimed at an improved knowledge base and an enhanced understanding and interpretation of devel- opment processes and transformations in high mountain oases. Shigar is a prime example for the quest of increasing our knowledge. Visitors to the region very often bypass Shigar on route to their quest for high peaks of the Karakoram which abound in the upper valley. Previous research efforts go back to colonial times when linguists and historians tried to gain a comprehensive knowledge of the culture and living conditions in the remote corners of the mountain belt. After independence scat- tered research projects were randomly executed. One of the more prominent efforts was the joint Pak-German Research Project “Culture Area Karakoram” in the early 1990s. During the multi-disciplinary programme sponsored by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Council, DFG) Shigar became one of the target areas for a number of researchers. The nexus of research and implementation was emphasised on in the aftermath. Of great importance for regional development in itself became governmental and non-governmental activities aiming at improved infrastructure, education, health services, cultural heritage and economic enterprises. These activities have grown in recent years. In the framework of im- plementing development packages the need for background information and baseline sur- veys became ubiquitous. Planning without sound foundation is an awkward affair. Therefore all development agencies have devoted more efforts in recent years towards research and data gathering. Cooperation between academia and practice has become unavoidable and is fortunately growing. This felt need was the driving force for the joint effort that was suggested by IUCN last year when a team from our research cell was invited to do a socio-economic survey of Shigar oa- sis. The Centre for Development Studies at the Freie Universitaet Berlin is part of the Geo- graphic Sciences and in that capacity students are trained in executing fieldwork. Taking up the offer by IUCN we devoted and organised a two-semester course to prepare for fieldwork in Shigar and to evaluate the gathered data. The modest results of this undertaking are hum- bly presented herewith. A project like this needs support and encouragement from a host of institutions. First of all, we are grateful to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and its staff members who have prepared and managed the implementation of the exercise in great style and who have been helpful to our team throughout planning and working. In addition we were supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), an institution which creates bridges for mutual understanding and supports students in both directions by supply- ing stipends and scholarships. The Freie Universitaet Berlin and the Department of Earth Sciences sponsored the project and provided ample support in administrative fields. Especially in times when world politics are affecting international travel and academic exchange we have been grateful that this joint I project could materialise. In addition we enjoyed the company from students of the Kara- koram International University (KIU) Gilgit and the National University of Science and Tech- nology (NUST) in Islamabad during our stay in Shigar. Mutual learning and knowledge trans- fer becomes easier when personal dialogue is enabled and enhanced by sympathy and friendship. In Shigar we have found such a constellation. Other governmental and non- governmental institutions were supportive and our thanks go to the Raja of Shigar, the Assis- tant Commissioner, the representatives of Aga Khan Development Network and to the local interpreters, guides and resource persons. A project like this is planned in offices, institutions and universities. Without the support, the hospitality and the by now long-standing friendship with citizens of Shigar we would not have dared to suggest such a research enterprise. Consequently this report is dedicated to the people of Shigar and we hope that it supports planning exercises and might even be useful as a reference work for future research and knowledge transfer.

  • Sufism in the Western History : a Primary Outline
    Sufism in the Western History : A Primary Outline Andrew Rawlinson University of Lancaster Abstract The phenomenon of Western Sufi teachers is unique, not just because of the individuals themselves, though they are certainly fascinating, but because of what they represent: the flowering of the Western genius, which has discovered Eastern traditions, absorbed them and in the process changed them and been changed by them. This paper is a primary outline of the main contours of this phenomenon, trying to brief its history and attempt an explanation of what it means. Keywords: Sufism, Western Sufism, Mysticism, History of Sufism Introduction About a century ago there were no Western gurus - no Westerners who were Hindu swamis, Zen roshis or Sufi sheikhs. Now there are hundreds. From a standing start, the West has produced its own spiritual teachers in traditions that were originally quite foreign. And in the last 25 years, a number of independent teachers have appeared, who belong to no tradition but teach from themselves. These people are changing Western culture by making available a view of the human condition which is new in the West. This view is based on four principles: - human beings are best understood in terms of consciousness and its modifications, - consciousness can be transformed by spiritual practice, - there are gurus/masters/teachers who have done this, - and they can help others to do the same by some form of transmission. Hundreds of thousands of Westerners now accept this teaching. To begin with, it was propounded by Easterners: Buddhists, Hindus and Sufis. But gradually Westerners began to teach the Buddhist, Hindu and Sufi versions of it.

  • Ibn Arabî and His Interpreters Part II: Influences and Interpretations
    1 [‘Ibn Arabî and His Interpreters,’ Part II-A. In Journal of the American Oriental Society, pp. 733-756. Part II-B appeared in JAOS vol. 107 (1987), pp. 101-119.] Ibn Arabî and His Interpreters Part II: Influences and Interpretations James Winston Morris Institute of Ismaili Studies, Paris SUMMARY: Part II of this article, to he concluded in JAOS 107.1, surveys some representative lines of interpretation and influence of Ibn ‘Arabî's work among subsequent Islamic mystics and thinkers (and their critics) as they are revealed in recent translations. Their comparison with Ibn ‘Arabî's own writings brings out (1) the intellectual and institutional conditions underlying the creative aspects of the Shaykh's work and accounting for its phenomenal spread; (2) important aspects of his writing and teaching often neglected by his later interpreters; and (3) the remarkable diversity, selectivity, and autonomous development of subsequent Sufi traditions as they transformed and adapted his works in light of their own concerns. This half deals with a famous treatise (by Balyânî) representing the "monistic" Sufism of Ibn Sab‘în (and its many critics); an interesting apocryphal work (actually by a later Qâdiri writer); the influential Persian works of Nasafî; and the decisive role of the metaphysically oriented teachings of Ibn ‘Arabî's disciple and son-in-law S. Qûnawî and his successors. INTRODUCTION Paraphrasing Whitehead's famous remark about Plato—and with something of the same degree of exaggeration—one could say that the history of Islamic thought subsequent to Ibn ‘Arabî (at least down to the 18th century and the radically new encounter with the modern West) might largely be construed as a series of footnotes to his work.

  • Şerhu Mevâkıfi'n-Nifferî Bağlamında Afifüddîn Tilimsânî'nin
    Tuğba Görgün, Şerhu Mevâkıfi’n-Nifferî Bağlamında Afifüddin Tilimsânî’nin “Edep” Anlayışı Şerhu Mevâkıfi’n-Nifferî Bağlamında Afifüddîn Tilimsânî’nin “Edep” Anlayışı Tuğba Görgün1 Özet: Afîfüddîn Tilimsânî (ö. 690/1291) Muhyiddîn İbnü’l-Arabî’nin (ö. 638/1240) düşüncesini tâkip eden Ekberî ekolün önemli isimlerinden biridir. Tam adı Ebü’r-Rebî’ Afifüddîn Süleymân b. Şemseddîn Ali b. Abdillâh Kûmî Tilimsânî’dir. Afifüddîn Tilimsânî olarak bilinir. Cezayir’in Tilimsân şehrinde 610/1213 tarihinde doğmuştur. Tilimsânî’nin tasavvufî görüşlerinin genel anlamda ele alındığı eserinin Şerhu Mevâkıfi’n-Nifferî olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Genel olarak da Tilimsânî’nin eserlerinde el- Mevâkıf adlı eserin müellifi olan Abdülcebbâr Nifferî’nin (ö. 354/965) tahkîk tavrını benimsediği görülmektedir. Bundan dolayı müellifimiz tasavvufî konularda kendisi gibi Ekberî geleneğin temsilcilerinden farklı bir usûl ile problemleri incelemiştir. Tilimsânî’nin eserlerinde takip ettiği bu usûl, farklı boyutları olmakla beraber üç basamaklı olup ilim, mârifet ve mârifetin ötesi olan vakfeden oluşur. Bu çalışma, Tilimsânî’nin kendine özgü olarak oluşturduğu söz konusu üçlü tasniften yararlanarak, tasavvufun doğuş döneminden itibaren üzerinde önemle durulan edep kavramının manevî seyirdeki yerini ortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir. Çalışma Tilimsânî’nin belirli bir anlam çerçevesinde sıklıkla kullanılan bazı kavramları söz konusu bu anlam çerçevelerinin ötesinde ve kendine özgü bir sistem dâhilinde açıklamasını göstermesi bakımından önemlidir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Tasavvuf, Afîfüddîn Tilimsânî, Ekberiyye, Edep, Seyr u Sülûk. Afifuddin Tilimsani’s Understanding of Decency in the context of Sharh al Mavaqif an-Nifferî Abstract: Afifuddin Tilimsani (d. 690/1291) is one of the important names in the school of Akbarî that follows Muhyiddin Ibn al-Arabi (d. 638/1240).

  • University of Istanbul Faculty of Theology
    UNIVERSITY OF ISTANBUL FACULTY OF THEOLOGY Istanbul Due to her geographic location, Istanbul has always been a settlement area from early ages onwards. And besides connecting the two continents, Europe and Asia, Istanbul has become a center where various cultures and religions are combined, surrived and succeeded each other. Istanbul of the day conforms the definition of a great city, not only with her population and the area she covers but also with the variety of cultures and ways of living. This cultural structure which enables a good number of elements that contradict with each other and yet exist together even one in another, is the produce of an accumulation of about one thousand years. Although first settlements in Istanbul were observed in prehistoric periods, continual settlements, however, have started in the colonial period. Foundations of Istanbul of our days were laid during recent periods of the Roman Empire. Byzantium and Ottoman periods are the most significant stages in the history of Istanbul. In both of these periods, Istanbul has preserved her features of being a political and religious center and has become the religious center of both, the Christianity and the Islam. Therefore, she was ornamented with many great monuments with different functions belonging to these two religions and cultures. The University of Istanbul One of the main characteristics of Istanbul University is its leadership in higher education for centuries. It has played a guiding and influential role in the social and cultural life of our country. We can clearly see this when we trace the line of historical development of the University.

Thank you.] IBN ‘ARABI AND HIS INTERPRETERS PART II (CONCLUSION): INFLUENCES AND INTERPRETATIONS JAMES WINSTON MORRIS INSTITUTE OF ISMAILI STUDIES, PARIS Concluding our survey of major historical tendencies in the interpretation and reception of Ibn ‘Arabî’s writings in various traditions of later Islamic thought, as illustrated by recent translations and related studies, this final section deals with representative figures in the more philosophic ‘school’ founded by Qûnawî (Kâshânî, H. Âmulî, and Jîlî); in mystical poetry (Jâmî, ‘Irâqî, and others) and philosophy (Mullâ Sadrâ and his successors); and with the more recent Sufi writings of ‘Abd al-Qâdir al-Jazâ’irî, who recapitulates and integrates many of these traditions while returning to the spiritual sources and intentions underlying Ibn ‘Arabî’s own work and teaching. IV [Cont.] ‘Abd al-Razzâq al-Kâshânî (d. ca. 736/1335) has almost certainly been the most widely read (and cited) of these early interpreters of Ibn ‘Arabî, to such an extent that much of the subsequent discussion of ‘Ibn ‘Arabî’s’ thought and doctrine, whether in the Eastern Islamic world or in the modern West, can best be understood as in fact a reference to Kâshânî’s writings—especially where writers are expounding what they take to be Ibn ‘Arabî’s ‘system’ or philosophic ‘doctrine’ (e.g., of wahdat al-wujûd).72 In this regard, the modern attribution to Ibn 72 This is even true to a certain extent of T.
