Download or read book The Sufis of Bijapur, 1300-1700 written by Richard Maxwell Eaton and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sufis were heirs to a tradition of Islamic mysticism, and they have generally been viewed as standing more or less apart from the social order. Professor Eaton contends to the contrary that the Sufis were an integral part of their society, and that an understanding of their interaction with it is essential to an understanding of the Sufis themselves. In investigating the Sufis of Bijapur in South India, (he author identifies three fundamental questions. What was the relationship, he asks, between the Sufis and Bijapur's 'ulama, the upholders of Islamic orthodoxy? Second, how did the Sufis relate to the Bijapur court? Finally, how did they interact with the non-Muslim population surrounding them, and how did they translate highly developed mystical traditions into terms meaningful to that population? In answering these questions, the author advances our knowledge of an important but little-studied city-state in medieval India. Originally published in 1978.

Download or read book The Bahmanī Sūfīs written by Muhammad Suleman Siddiqi and published by Primus Books. This book was released on 2024-01-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bahmani Sufis explores the the spiritual, intellectual and socio-political role of the Chishtis, the Junaydis and the Qadiris in the Deccan during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Documenting the presence of Junaydi Sufis at Daulatabad, this work challenges a long-held assumption that the Chishtis were the earliest to have migrated to Daulatabad and helped the Tughluq administration in the consolidation of Islam. The volume discusses the evolving relationship between the Sufis and the Bahmani sultans, examining the transition that took place between the Gulbarga and Bidar phases due to the arrival and settlement of non-mulki Sufis from Iraq and Iran. It then goes on to explore the change in the ethnic structure of the Bahmani society at Bidar and the role of non-mulkis; the dominant position of the Sufis at Gulbarga and their subservience to the ruling classes at Bidar; and the decline among the descendants of the Sufi families of Gulbarga and Bidar.

Download or read book Indian Sufism since the Seventeenth Century written by Nile Green and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sufism is often regarded as standing mystically aloof from its wider cultural settings. By turning this perspective on its head, Indian Sufism since the Seventeenth Century reveals the politics and poetry of Indian Sufism through the study of Islamic sainthood in the midst of a cosmopolitan Indian society comprising migrants, soldiers, litterateurs and princes. Placing the mystical traditions of Indian Islam within their cultural contexts, this interesting study focuses on the shrines of four Sufi saints in the neglected Deccan region and their changing roles under the rule of the Mughals, the Nizams of Haydarabad and, after 1948, the Indian nation. In particular Green studies the city of Awrangabad, examining the vibrant intellectual and cultural history of this city as part of the independent state of Haydarabad. He employs a combination of historical texts and anthropological fieldwork, which provide a fresh perspective on developments of devotional Islam in South Asia over the past three centuries, giving a fuller understanding of Sufism and Muslim saints in South Asia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the Deccan Sultanates of 16th- and 17th-century central India, Local States in an Imperial World promotes the idea that some polities of the time were not aspiring to be empires. Instead of the universalist and hierarchical vision typical of the language of empire, the sultanates presented another brand of state - one that prefers negotiation, flexibility and plurality of languages, religions and cultures. Building on theories of early modernity, empire, cosmopolitanism and vernaculars, Roy Fischel considers the components that shaped state and society: people, identities and idioms. He presents a frame for understanding the Deccan Sultanates as a rare case of the early modern non-imperial state, shedding light both on the region and on the imperial world surrounding it.

Book excerpt: Sufism is a religion which emphasizes direct knowledge of the divine within each person, and meditation, music, song, and dance are seen as crucial spiritual strides toward attaining unity with God. Sufi paths of mysticism and devotion, motivated by Islamic ideals, are still chosen by men and women in countries from Morocco to China, and there are nearly one hundred orders around the world, eighty of which are present and thriving in the United States. The Chishti Sufi order has been the most widespread and popular of all Sufi traditions since the twelfth-century. Sufi Martyrs of Love offers a critical perspective on Western attitudes towards Islam and Sufism, clarifying its contemporary importance, both in the West and in traditional Sufi homelands. Finally, it provides access to the voices of Sufi authorities, through the translation of texts being offered in English for the first time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the author examines sijills, the official documents of the Ottoman Islamic courts, to understand how sharia law, society and the early-modern economy of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Ottoman Cairo related to the practice of custom in determining rulings. In the sixteenth century, a new legal and cultural orthodoxy fostered the development of an early-modern Islam that broke new ground, giving rise to a new concept of the citizen and his role. These issues resonate today, several centuries later, in the continuing discussions of individual rights in relation to Islamic law.

Book excerpt: A glimpse at the political situation in the Deccan which was marked by political conclusion and disintegration during the last two decades, it is necessary to follow the trend of events which was contributed to the evolution of the Adil Shahi Kingdom of Bijapur. The murder of Khwajah Imaduddin Mahmud Gawan, the savior of Bahmani dynasty and the architect of a grand empire on the 5th April 1481 A.D. struck a fatal blow to the Kingdom. Mahmud Gawan’s dying words “the death of an old man is of little moment, but to your Majesty Sultan Muhammad Shah-III it will mean the loss of your character and the ruin of your Empire”, proved to be prophetic. Within a decade, the vast empire of the splendid edifice of the Bahmani dynasty presented a chequered scene. His death removed a dominating personality and let loose the forces of disintegration. It signaled the beginning of the decline and fall of the mighty empire
