Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study is an attempt to restore the text of Qawaid al-Tasawwuf by comparative and comprehensive study of its manuscripts. This thesis also aims to study Zarruq's concept of juridical Sufism as manifested in this book. Qawaid is one of the most significant works of Zarruq in which he tried to introduce the principles of Sufism in a way that integrates shariah with haqiqah and incorporates theology and jurisprudence with the tariqah; or a fusion of legal rectitude within Sufi devotion and piety. Interpreting the Shadhili notion of usuli tasawwuf, Zarruq constructed the theory of juridical Sufism on its theological and metaphysical grounds. The presentation of Islam in such an integrated form appealed and attracted not only the Muslim scholars but also saints to his most impressive accomplishment. His teachings and intellectual legacy left a lasting impact on Maghribi society, in particular the circles of the Shadhiliyah which were renamed the Zarruqiyah due to his impact. This thesis is divided into two parts. The first part consists of the edited text of Qawaid al-Tasawwuf since the main concern of this thesis is to restore the original text and verify the authenticity of its contents by the comparative study of its MSS. In order to establish a clear, authentic and authoritative text, the rules of codicology, orthography and methods of textual research have been applied. Six MSS and a published edition have been used for the restoration of the text. After establishing the text, some appendices have been added to make the text more accessible for readers. These appendices contain some additional Qawaid, references to Quranic verses, Prophetic traditions, and sources mentioned in the text. Moreover a bibliography and index is fixed at the end. The second part contains an introduction which has been divided into six unequal sections. The first section is a short introduction to Zarruq's life, his teachers, his travels from Morocco to the Hijaz as well as his migration to Misratah and other important events of his life. The second section is an attempt to present Zarruq's intellectual heritage by outlining his works and the contribution of his Sufi order. The third section is an introduction to the manuscripts and published editions of Qawaid al-Tasawwuf. The fourth section explains the methodology of editing used for the restoration of the text. The fifth section is a description and analysis of Qawaid al-Tasawwuf. The most significant task of this section is to analyze Zarruq's ideas as manifested in this book in order to appreciate how he amalgamates and integrates Islamic jurisprudence with Sufism. We consider this his most significant contribution to the Sufi heritage because of its distinctive genre, theme and its innovative ideas concerning the unification of the Sufi path with law and theology and its elaboration and explanation though the qawaid genre, upon the model of works of al-qawaid al-fiqhiyah wa-al-usuliyah (jurisprudential and theological maxims). The sixth section is a summary of Qawaid al-Tasawwuf. According to the Escorial MS the Qawaid consists of a preface, an epilogue and two hundred and twenty four principles. These principles are divided into seventeen chapters which consist of unequal and loosely related qawaid. In this section we have attempted to present a brief summary of each qaidah.

Download or read book Beyond Timbuktu written by Ousmane Oumar Kane and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned for its madrassas and archives of rare Arabic manuscripts, Timbuktu is famous as a great center of Muslim learning from Islam’s Golden Age. Yet Timbuktu is not unique. It was one among many scholarly centers to exist in precolonial West Africa. Beyond Timbuktu charts the rise of Muslim learning in West Africa from the beginning of Islam to the present day, examining the shifting contexts that have influenced the production and dissemination of Islamic knowledge—and shaped the sometimes conflicting interpretations of Muslim intellectuals—over the course of centuries. Highlighting the significant breadth and versatility of the Muslim intellectual tradition in sub-Saharan Africa, Ousmane Kane corrects lingering misconceptions in both the West and the Middle East that Africa’s Muslim heritage represents a minor thread in Islam’s larger tapestry. West African Muslims have never been isolated. To the contrary, their connection with Muslims worldwide is robust and longstanding. The Sahara was not an insuperable barrier but a bridge that allowed the Arabo-Berbers of the North to sustain relations with West African Muslims through trade, diplomacy, and intellectual and spiritual exchange. The West African tradition of Islamic learning has grown in tandem with the spread of Arabic literacy, making Arabic the most widely spoken language in Africa today. In the postcolonial period, dramatic transformations in West African education, together with the rise of media technologies and the ever-evolving public roles of African Muslim intellectuals, continue to spread knowledge of Islam throughout the continent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first English translation of Miftah al-falah, a thirteenth century Sufi text, written by Ibn Ata Allah, one of the great masters of the Shadhili Sufi order. It is considered to be one of his most important works because it sets out the principles of actual Sufi mystical practices, shedding light on the sacred invocations, and associated practices, such as the spiritual retreat. Written in a clear, lucid style, it offers a glimpse into the Sufi world of the 7th Islamic century and allows us to see almost at first hand how the novice was guided by the Sufi Shaykh and, above all, the purpose and preparation involved in engaging in the invocation, dhikhru'llah. Ibn Ata' Allah sets out to define it, to explain its nature and power, to show its results and to prove that it is part of the Prophet's Sunna, or practice. The author goes to great lengths to point out many Qur'anic verses where dhikru'llah is mentioned and cites many noted authorities.

Book Synopsis The Principles of Sufism by : ʻĀʼishah bint Yūsuf Bāʻūnīyah

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A'ishah al-Ba'uniyyah (d. 923/1517) of Damascus was one of the great women scholars in Islamic history. A mystic and prolific poet and writer, 'A'ishah composed more works in Arabic than any other woman before the twentieth century. Yet despite her extraordinary literary and religious achievements, 'A'ishah al-Ba'uniyyah remains largely unknown. For the first time her key work, The Principles of Sufism, is available in English translation. The Principles of Sufism is a mystical guide book to help others on their spiritual path. She recounts the fundamental stages and states of the spiritual novice’s transformative journey, emphasizing the importance of embracing both human limitations and God’s limitless love. Drawing on lessons and readings from centuries-old Sufi tradition, 'A'ishah advises the seeker to repent of selfishness and turn to a sincere life of love. In addition to his lucid translation, Th. Emil Homerin provides an insightful introduction, notes and a glossary to 'A'ishah al-Ba'uniyyah’s remarkable account of the pursuit of mystical illumination. A bilingual Arabic-English edition.

Book Synopsis The Great Caliphs by : Amira K. Bennison
Download or read book The Great Caliphs written by Amira K. Bennison and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This endlessly informative history brings the classical Islamic world to lifeIn this accessibly written history, Amira K. Bennison contradicts the common assumption that Islam somehow interrupted the smooth flow of Western civilization from its Graeco-Roman origins to its more recent European and American manifestations. Instead, she places Islamic civilization in the longer trajectory of Mediterranean civilizations and sees the ‘Abbasid Empire (750–1258 CE) as the inheritor and interpreter of Graeco-Roman traditions.At its zenith the ‘Abbasid caliphate stretched over the entire Middle East and part of North Africa, and influenced Islamic regimes as far west as Spain. Bennison’s examination of the politics, society, and culture of the ‘Abbasid period presents a picture of a society that nurtured many of the “civilized” values that Western civilization claims to represent, albeit in different premodern forms: from urban planning and international trade networks to religious pluralism and academic research. Bennison’s argument counters the common Western view of Muslim culture as alien and offers a new perspective on the relationship between Western and Islamic cultures.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Islamic Philosophy by : Khaled El-Rouayheb
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Islamic Philosophy written by Khaled El-Rouayheb and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 721 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of Islamic philosophy has entered a new and exciting phase in the last few years. Both the received canon of Islamic philosophers and the narrative of the course of Islamic philosophy are in the process of being radically questioned and revised. Most twentieth-century Western scholarship on Arabic or Islamic philosophy has focused on the period from the ninth century to the twelfth. It is a measure of the transformation that is currently underway in the field that, unlike other reference works, the Oxford Handbook has striven to give roughly equal weight to every century, from the ninth to the twentieth. The Handbook is also unique in that its 30 chapters are work-centered rather than person- or theme-centered, in particular taking advantage of recent new editions and translations that have renewed interest and debate around the Islamic philosophical canon. The Oxford Handbook of Islamic Philosophy gives both the advanced student and active scholar in Islamic philosophy, theology, and intellectual history, a strong sense of what a work in Islamic philosophy looks like and a deep view of the issues, concepts, and arguments that are at stake. Most importantly, it provides an up-to-date portrait of contemporary scholarship on Islamic philosophy.
Book Synopsis Slavery and Islam by : Jonathan A.C. Brown
Download or read book Slavery and Islam written by Jonathan A.C. Brown and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when authorities you venerate condone something you know is wrong? Every major religion and philosophy once condoned or approved of slavery, but in modern times nothing is seen as more evil. Americans confront this crisis of authority when they erect statues of Founding Fathers who slept with their slaves. And Muslims faced it when ISIS revived sex slavery, justifying it with verses from the Quran and the practice of Muhammad. Exploring the moral and ultimately theological problem of slavery, Jonathan A.C. Brown traces how the Christian, Jewish and Islamic traditions have tried to reconcile modern moral certainties with the infallibility of God’s message. He lays out how Islam viewed slavery in theory, and the reality of how it was practiced across Islamic civilization. Finally, Brown carefully examines arguments put forward by Muslims for the abolition of slavery.
Book Synopsis When Christians First Met Muslims by : Michael Philip Penn
Download or read book When Christians First Met Muslims written by Michael Philip Penn and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2015-03-21 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first Christians to meet Muslims were not Latin-speaking Christians from the western Mediterranean or Greek-speaking Christians from Constantinople but rather Christians from northern Mesopotamia who spoke the Aramaic dialect of Syriac. Living in what constitutes modern-day Iran, Iraq, Syria, and eastern Turkey, these Syriac Christians were under Muslim rule from the seventh century to the present. They wrote the earliest and most extensive accounts of Islam and described a complicated set of religious and cultural exchanges not reducible to the solely antagonistic. Through its critical introductions and new translations of this invaluable historical material, When Christians First Met Muslims allows scholars, students, and the general public to explore the earliest interactions of what eventually became the world's two largest religions, shedding new light on Islamic history and Christian-Muslim relations.
