Book Synopsis The Sublime Treasures by : Imam Haddad
Download or read book The Sublime Treasures written by Imam Haddad and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Answering questions from scholars and travelers on the Sufi path, this core statement of Sufi belief explains confusing and obscure points of devoted practice. The discussion covers the beliefs of the Pole of Time and the Circle of Saints, the states of extinction and subsistence, the nature of universal existence, and technical points concerning the relationship between master and novice. There are also rulings on more practical questions about the respective merits of fame and obscurity, the correct way to worship the spirits of the dead, and the causes of civil war. The book is also notable for a fascinating stylistic technique: the curt and pitiless dismissals of all questions not on the traveler's path.

Download or read book The Way of the Sufi written by Idries Shah and published by Octagon Press Ltd. This book was released on 2004 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Way of the Sufi presents an unparalleled cross-section of material from Sufi schools, teachings and classical writings, as a basic course of Sufi study. Its author, Idries Shah, is regarded as the most influential modern exponent of Sufi ideas. His many books on the subject seek to make some of the Eastern world's greatest teachings accessible to a Western audience. In this book, Shah begins with the outward aspects of the teaching most likely to puzzle the student coming fresh to the subject. He considers various attitudes to Sufi ideas, and evidence of their absorption into medieval Christianity, Hinduism, Jewish mysticism and modern philosophical teachings. The greater part of the book illuminates aspects of Sufi activity and practice relevant to the contemporary world." --

Book Synopsis The Essence of Sufism by : John Baldock
Download or read book The Essence of Sufism written by John Baldock and published by Arcturus Publishing. This book was released on 2005-03-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insight into Life is the real religion, which alone can help man to understand Life.' Hazrat Inayat Khan The Sufis have been using carefully constructed stories for teaching purposes for thousands of years. Though on the surface these often appear to be little more than fairy or folk tales, the Sufis hold that they enshrine - in their characters, plots and imagery - patterns and relationships that nurture a part of the mind not reachable in more conventional ways, thus increasing our understanding, flexibility and breadth of vision. Familiarization with this body of material can eventually provide answers to questions about our origins and our destiny. In this book John Baldock explores the rich body of literature the Sufis have produced to guide spiritual travellers. While explaining the significant teachings and emphasizing their significance for us, he sheds a timely light on the Sufis' fascinating perception of life, revealing it to be a process of the heart and not of the head, and offers intriguing pathways to further study and reflection.
Book Synopsis Shi'i Islam and Sufism by : Denis Hermann
Download or read book Shi'i Islam and Sufism written by Denis Hermann and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I.B. Tauris in association with the Institute of Ismaili Studies Offering new perspectives on the relationship between Shi'is and Sufis in modern and pre-modern times, this book challenges the supposed opposition between these two esoteric traditions in Islam by exploring what could be called "Shi'i Sufism" and "Sufi-oriented Shi'ism" at various points in history. The chapters are based on new research in textual studies as well as fieldwork from a broad geographical areas including the Indian subcontinent, Anatolia and Iran. Covering a long period stretching from the early post-Mongol centuries, throughout the entire Safawid era (906–1134/1501–1722) and beyond, it is concerned not only with the sphere of the religious scholars but also with different strata of society. The first part of the volume looks at the diversity of the discourse on Sufism among the Shi'i "ulama" in the run up to and during the Safawid period. The second part focuses on the social and intellectual history of the most popular Shi'i Sufi order in Iran, the Ni'mat Allahiyya. The third part examines the relationship between Shi'ism and Sufism in the little-explored literary traditions of the Alevi-Bektashi and the Khaksariyya Sufi order. With contributions from leading scholars in Shi'ism and Sufism Studies, the book is the first to reveal the mutual influences and connections between Shi'ism and Sufism, which until now have been little explored.

Book Synopsis From Shamanism to Sufism by : Razia Sultanova
Download or read book From Shamanism to Sufism written by Razia Sultanova and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women have traditionally played a vital part in Islam throughout Central Asia - the vast area from the Caspian Sea to Siberia. With this ground-breaking and original study, Razia Sultanova examines the experiences of Muslim women in the region and the ways in which religion has shaped their daily lives and continues to do so today. 'From Shamanism to Sufism' explores the fundamental interplay between religious belief and the cultural heritage of music and dance and is the first book to focus particularly on the role of women. Based on evidence derived from over fifteen years of field work, 'From Shamanism to Sufism' shows how women kept alive traditional Islamic religious culture in Central Asia, especially through Shamanism and Sufism, even under Soviet rule when all religion was banned. Nowhere was the role of women more important than in the Ferghana Valley in Uzbekistan, the cradle of female Islamic culture and a centre for women's poetry and music. This area is home to the 'Otin-Oy', a sisterhood of religiously educated women and members of Sufi orders, who take a leading part in rituals, marking the pivotal moments in the Islamic calendar and maintaining religious practices through music and ritual dances. Sultanova shows how the practice of Islam in Uzbekistan has evolved over time: long underground, there was a religious resurgence at independence in 1991, boosting national Uzbek identity and nationalism - 500 new mosques were built - only to be followed by a return to persecution by a repressive state under the banner of the 'war against terror'. Now events have come full circle, and once again covert worship by women remains crucial to the survival of traditional Muslim culture. Ritual and music are at the heart of Central Asian and Islamic culture, not only at weddings and funerals but in all aspects of everyday life. Through her in-depth analysis of these facets of cultural life within Central Asian society, 'From Shamanism to Sufism' offers important insights into the lives of the societies in the region. The role of women has often been neglected in studies of religious culture and this book fills an enormous gap, restoring women to their rightful historical and cultural context. It will be essential reading for anyone with a serious interest in the History or Religion of Central Asia or in Global Islam.

Book Synopsis Difficult Questions Have Easy Answers by : Atina Hseham
Download or read book Difficult Questions Have Easy Answers written by Atina Hseham and published by Mahesh Dutt Sharma. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inquiry made to obtain any information is known as an interrogation. While asking the person tries to get an answer that allows him to satisfy his doubts. The interviewers often ask simple questions in a very twisted fashion to confuse the candidates. Difficult questions-answers reflect the knowledge of the giver as well as his overall personality. For example: 'Which is heavier: a kilogram of feathers or 1000 grams of lead?' (Solution: Both the weights are equal). And 'What happened in Kolkata yesterday from 8 to 9 o'clock? (Solution: An hour had passed).' These questions have a trick because they are framed in such a way that the answers seem simple, but in reality, they are not. It can be said that the questioners confuse the candidates as they hide their answers using rhetorical resources and various devices. In some cases, the answer is found in the question itself, but in secret. Tricky questions are also used for fun or as a mental activity of logical practice. Like a truck driver passing down a street in the wrong direction, some policemen saw him, but they didn't say anything to him, why? (Solution: Because the truck driver was on foot). He shaves all day but still has a beard, who is he? (Solution: Barber). Some months have thirty days and others thirty-one, but how many months have twenty-eight? (Solution: Every month has at least twenty-eight days). Which object becomes wet When it dries? (Solution: Towel) How do you draw a square with three lines? (Solution: draw the square first and then draw three lines inside the square). Thus, an answer to a tricky question can lead to confusion due to the confusion-generated question. These types of questions are very specific to the areas in which people's knowledge or behavior is evaluated. Generally, such difficult questions can be perceived as misleading or incorrect because something is being implied that is not in reality. However, they can also be seen as methods whose precise purpose is to test the candidate and determine whether he or she is fully capable of answering the question that he or she is saying. I know. In this way, about five thousand questions and answers have been given in the present book, which is equally useful for all competitive examinations.
