Download or read book Why I Am a Five Percenter written by Michael Muhammad Knight and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-10-13 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thoughtful, insider view of The Five Percenters-a deeply complex and misunderstood community whose ideas and symbols influenced the rise of hip-hop. Misrepresented in the media as a black parallel to the Hell's Angels, portrayed as everything from a vicious street gang to quasi- Islamic revolutionaries, The Five Percenters are a movement that began as a breakaway sect from the Nation of Islam (NOI) in 1960s Harlem and went on to impact the formation of hip-hop. References to Five Percent language and ideas are found in the lyrics of wide-ranging artists, such as Nas, Rakim, the Wu-Tang Clan, and even Jay-Z. The Five Percenters are denounced by white America as racists, and orthodox Islam as heretics, for teaching that the black man is Allah. Michael Muhammad Knight ("the Hunter S. Thompson of Islamic literature" -The Guardian) has engaged this culture as both white and Muslim; and over the course of his relationship with The Five Percenters, his personal position changed from that of an outsider to an accepted participant with his own initiatory name (Azreal Wisdom). This has given him an intimate perch from which to understand and examine the controversial doctrines of this influential movement. In Why I Am a Five Percenter, Knight strips away years of sensationalism to offer a serious encounter with Five Percenter thought. Encoded within Five Percent culture is a profound critique of organized religion, from which the movement derives its name: Only Five Percent can act as "poor righteous teachers" against the evil Ten Percent, the power structure which uses religion to deceive the Eighty- Five Percent, the "deaf, dumb, and blind" masses. Questioning his own relationship to the Five Percent, Knight directly confronts the community's most difficult teachings. In Why I Am a Five Percenter, Knight not only illuminates a thought system that must appear bizarre to outsiders, but he also brilliantly dissects the very issues of"insiders" and "outsiders," territory and ownership, as they relate to religion and privilege, and to our conditioned ideas about race.

Download or read book Sufi Poems: Inspirational Verses of Twenty Sufi Poets written by Editors and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-02 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present work is an attempt to pay homage to the devout beings who spent their lives in the quest of Divine Love (i.e. Love of the True Divinity). It primarily comprehends the inspirational verses contributed by Arabic, Persian, Punjabi, Sindhi and Pashtun Sufi poets, belonging to diverse cultural and geographical traditions. In order to pursue the authentic translations of the aforementioned verses, the contributions made by scholars and academics like Vraje Abramia, Daniel Karlin, Margaret Smith, A.J. Arberry, Reynold Alleyne Nicholson, Lochan Singh Buxi, Harjeet Singh Gill, Coleman Barks, John Moyne, Reynold Nicholson, Lederer Florence, E. H. Whinfield , Gertrude Lowthian Bell, H. Wilberforce Clarke, Frederick Hadland Davis, H.T. Sorley, Shahzad Qaiser, and K, B. Advani, have been preferred. It is unfortunate that some of the renowned Sufi verses of Arabic, Pashto, Balochi, Kashmiri, Barahwi Saraiki, and Hindi, have not been translated into English. The present book has preferably selected the works of those poets whose authentic translations could be accessed. It has been ensured that the references be mentioned in every section, together with the translated texts, so that readers may seek a direct access to the cited texts when required. While compiling and editing the content, the originality of the translated texts has been retained, except in some cases where the formal procedures of text-editing were required to be pursued. Minor alterations in this regard, hence center on achieving the objectives of lucidity and comprehensibility. It is hoped that the attempt shall seek to provide the lovers of poetry a chance to gain an insight into the magnificent treasury of Sufi Wisdom. (Following are the names of Twenty Sufi poets whose poetry is included in this book: 1. Abu Said Abul Khayr (967-1049), 2. Omar Khayyam (1048 -1131), 3. Ahmad Yasawi (1093-1166), 4. Farīd ud-Dīn (Attar of Nishapur) (1145 - 1221), 5. Ibn Al Farid (1181 - 1234) , 6.Ibn ʿArabi (1165- 1240) ,7. Fariduddin Ganjshakar (1179 -1266) , 8. Jalal ad- Din Muhammad Rumi (1207-1273) , 9.

Download or read book Jesus the Sufi written by Max Gorman and published by Aeon Books. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus is seen as a representative of an ancient and continuing wisdom tradition identified with that of the Sufis. By his distinctive use of stories for teaching purposes, his sayings, and what the Sufis call 'action-teachings', including those actions known as 'miracles', Jesus is shown to have been quintessentially a Sufi master. Max Gorman shows how Sufism illuminates from within concepts central to Christianity: the kingdom of Heaven, son of God, baptism, resurrection - which can then be seen as states and stages in an evolutionary philosophy.This new edition of the classic work includes a new chapter on Gnosis.

Download or read book The Mystics of Islam written by Reynold A. Nicholson and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-24 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sūfism, the religious philosophy of Islam, is described in the oldest extant definition as 'the apprehension of divine realities,' and Mohammedan mystics are fond of calling themselves Ahl al-Haqq, 'the followers of the Real.' In attempting to set forth their central doctrines from this point of view, the author draws to some extent on materials which he has collected for a history of Islamic mysticism. This edition provides an easy approach to the study of Islamic mysticism. Apart what the general reader requires to be told at first about Sūfism; the book includes a large amount of material that will be new even to professional Orientalists. Dr. Nicholson sets before us the results of twenty years' unremitting labour, and that, too, with remarkable simplicity and clarity for such a subject; at the same time he lets the mystics mostly speak for themselves and mainly in his own fine versions from the original Arabic and Persian.

Book excerpt: THE BOOK OF BULLEH SHAH Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Bulleh Shah (1680-1758) was a Sufi poet who composed in Punjabi and settled in Kasur, now in Pakistan. His Spiritual Master was Shah Inayat. The poetic form Bulleh Shah is called the Kafi, a style of Punjabi poetry used not only by the Sufis of Sindh and Punjab, but also by Sikh gurus. His poetry and philosophy strongly criticizes the Islamic religious orthodoxy of his day. His time was marked with communal strife between Muslims and Sikhs. But in that age Bulleh Shah was a beacon of hope and peace for the citizens of the Punjab. Several of his songs or kafis are still regarded as an integral part of the traditional repertoire of qawwali, the musical genre that represents the devotional music of the Sufis. Introduction on his Life, Times & Poems & on Sufis & Dervishes: Their Art & Use of Poetry, Selected Bibliography, Two Appendixes on his Life & Poetry & Influence.The correct rhyme-structure has been kept as well as the beauty and meaning of these poems.
