Lover Of God - The Ecstatic Sufi Nuri

de Dora Zsom

~~48,96€~~ 44,06€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Collects and interprets the literary legacy of Nr, an early Sufi master known for his ecstatic behaviour, eccentric acts, and passionate poems of mystical love.One of the so-called ecstatic (or intoxicated) Sufis of Baghdad, Ab usayn al-Nr (d. 907/8) was famous for his quasi-blasphemous utterances and shocking public behavior. He was often enraptured by a passionate love of God that led him to eccentric acts that scandalized both ordinary people and the religious authorities. Besides yielding to divine love and beauty, he would occasionally come near succumbing to bodily temptations and carnal passions. Despite Nr''s outrageous behavior, Junayd, the moderate or sober Sufi par excellence, held him in high esteem, kept corresponding with him, and commented upon his controversial ecstatic sayings. This book collects Nr''s literary legacy by surveying the sources for his life-poems, sayings, and comments on the Quran, including an exchange of letters between him and Junayd preserved in the Cairo Genizah-and by discussing the authorship of the Stations of the Hearts, which has been widely attributed to Nr.

Bedeviled - Jinn Doppelgangers In Islam And Akbarian Sufism

de Dunja Rasic

~~48,96€~~ 44,06€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A groundbreaking study of jinn doppelgangers and the problem of evil in Akbarian Sufism.Ghouls, ifrits, and a panoply of other jinn have long haunted Muslim cultures and societies. These also include jinn doppelgangers (qarn, pl. quran), the little-studied and much-feared denizens of the hearts and blood of humans. This book seeks out jinn doppelgangers in the Islamic normative tradition, philosophy, folklore, and Sufi literature, with special emphasis on Akbarian Sufism.Muy al-Dn Ibn Arab (d. 1240) wrote on jinn in substantial detail, uncovering the physiognomy, culture, and behavior of this unseen species. Akbarians believed that the good God assigned each human with an evil doppelganger. Ibn Arab’s reasoning as to why this was the case mirrors his attempts to expound the problem of evil in Islamic religious philosophy. No other Sufi, Ibn Arab claimed, ever managed to get to the heart of this matter before him. As well as offering the reader knowledge and safety from evil, Ibn Arab’s writings on jinnealogy tackle the even larger issues of spiritual ascension, predestination, and the human relationship to the Divine.

Ahmad Al-Ghazali, Remembrance, And The Metaphysics Of Love

de Joseph E. B. Lumbard

48,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Discusses the work of a central, but poorly understood, figure in the development of Persian Sufism, Amad al-Ghazl.The teachings of Amad al-Ghazl changed the course of Persian Sufism forever, paving the way for luminaries such as Rm, Ar, and fi. Yet he remains a poorly understood thinker, with many treatises incorrectly attributed to him and conflicting accounts in the historiographical literature. This work provides the first examination of Amad al-Ghazl and his work in Western scholarly literature. Joseph E. B. Lumbard seeks to ascertain the authenticity of works attributed to this author, trace the development of the dominant trends in the biographical literature, and reconstruct the life and times of Amad al-Ghazl with particular attention to his relationship with his more famous brother, Ab Hamid al-Ghazl. Lumbard''s findings revolutionize our understanding of Amad al-Ghazl writings, allowing for focus on his central teachings regarding Divine Love and the remembrance of God.

Islamic Philosophy From Its Origin To The Present - Philosophy In The Land Of Prophecy

de Seyyed Hossein Nasr

51,61€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 AIslamic Philosophy from Its Origin to the Present offers a comprehensive overview of Islamic philosophy from the ninth century to the present day. As Seyyed Hossein Nasr attests, within this tradition, philosophizing is done in a world in which prophecy is the central reality of life—a reality related not only to the realms of action and ethics but also to the realm of knowledge. Comparisons with Jewish and Christian philosophies highlight the relation between reason and revelation, that is, philosophy and religion. Nasr presents Islamic philosophy in relation to the Islamic tradition as a whole, but always treats this philosophy as philosophy, not simply as intellectual history. In addition to chapters dealing with the general historical development of Islamic philosophy, several chapters are devoted to later and mostly unknown philosophers. The work also pays particular attention to the Persian tradition. Nasr stresses that the Islamic tradition is a living tradition with significance for the contemporary Islamic world and its relationship with the West. In providing this seminal introduction to a tradition little-understood in the West, Nasr also shows readers that Islamic philosophy has much to offer the contemporary world as a whole.

Repose Of The Spirits - A Sufi Commentary On The Divine Names

de Ahmad Sam'Ani

59,56€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Major new translation of a unique and important Persian treatise on divine names in the Islamic tradition.The Repose of the Spirits is a translation of one of the earliest and most comprehensive treatises on Sufism in the Persian language. Written by Amad Sam''n, an expert in Islamic law from a famous Central Asian scholarly family in about the year 1135, it is one of the handful of early Sufi texts available in English and is by far the most accessible. It also may well be the longest and the most accurately translated. Ostensibly a commentary on the divine names, it avoids the abstract discourse of theological nitpicking and explains the human significance of the names with a delightful mix of Quranic verses and sayings of the Prophet and various past teachers, interspersed with original interpretations of the received wisdom. Unlike the usual books on the divine names (such as that of al-Ghazali), The Repose of the Spirits reminds the reader of the later poetical tradition, especially the work of Rumi. The prose is richly embroidered with imagery and interspersed with a great variety of Arabic and Persian poetry. What is especially remarkable is the manner in which the author speaks to his readers about their own personal situations, explaining why they are driven by a love affair with God, a God who is full of compassion and good humor, whether they know it or not. William C. Chittick''s masterful new translation brings this work to an English-language audience for the first time.

Sufism And American Literary Masters

51,61€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Explores the influence of Sufism on nineteenth- and early twentieth-century writers.This book reveals the rich, but generally unknown, influence of Sufism on nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American literature. The translation of Persian poets such as Hafiz and Sa''di into English and the ongoing popularity of Omar Khayyam offered intriguing new spiritual perspectives to some of the major American literary figures. As editor Mehdi Aminrazavi notes, these Sufi influences have often been subsumed into a notion of "Eastern," chiefly Indian, thought and not acknowledged as having Islamic roots. This work pays considerable attention to two giants of American literature, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman, who found much inspiration from the Sufi ideas they encountered. Other canonical figures are also discussed, including Mark Twain, Herman Melville, Henry David Thoreau, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, along with literary contemporaries who are lesser known today, such as Paschal Beverly Randolph, Thomas Lake Harris, and Lawrence Oliphant.

Cosmology And Architecture In Premodern Islam - An Architectural Reading Of Mystical Ideas

de Samer Akkach

35,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A fascinating exploration of how the transcendent is expressed in the spatial sensibility of premodern Islam.This fascinating interdisciplinary study reveals connections between architecture, cosmology, and mysticism. Samer Akkach demonstrates how space ordering in premodern Islamic architecture reflects the transcendental and the sublime. The book features many new translations, a number from unpublished sources, and several illustrations.Referencing a wide range of mystical texts, and with a special focus on the works of the great Sufi master Ibn Arabi, Akkach introduces a notion of spatial sensibility that is shaped by religious conceptions of time and space. Religious beliefs about the cosmos, geography, the human body, and constructed forms are all underpinned by a consistent spatial sensibility anchored in medieval geocentrism. Within this geometrically defined and ordered universe, nothing stands in isolation or ambiguity; everything is interrelated and carefully positioned in an intricate hierarchy. Through detailed mapping of this intricate order, the book shows the significance of this mode of seeing the world for those who lived in the premodern Islamic era and how cosmological ideas became manifest in the buildings and spaces of their everyday lives. This is a highly original work that provides important insights on Islamic aesthetics and culture, on the history of architecture, and on the relationship of art and religion, creativity and spirituality.

The Charismatic Community - Shiite Identity In Early Islam

de Maria Massi Dakake

37,41€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Looks at the emergence of Shiism as a distinct communal identity within Islam.The Charismatic Community examines the rise and development of Shiite religious identity in early Islamic history, analyzing the complex historical and intellectual processes that shaped the sense of individual and communal religious vocation. The book reveals the profound and continually evolving connection between the spiritual ideals of the Shiite movement and the practical processes of community formation. Author Maria Massi Dakake traces the Quranic origins and early religious connotations of the concept of walayah and the role it played in shaping the sense of communal solidarity among followers of the first Shiite Imam, Ali b. Abi Talib. Dakake argues that walayah pertains not only to the charisma of the Shiite leadership and devotion to them, but also to solidarity and loyalty among the members of the community itself. She also looks at the ways in which doctrinal developments reflected and served the practical needs of the Shiite community, the establishment of identifiable boundaries and minimum requirements of communal membership, the meaning of women's affiliation and identification with the Shiite movement, and Shiite efforts to engender a more normative and less confrontational attitude toward the non-Shiite Muslim community.

Sanctity And Mysticism In Medieval Egypt - The Waf Sufi Order And The Legacy Of Ibn Al-Arab

de Richard J. A. Mcgregor

35,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Using the original, little-known writings of Sufis Muhammad and 'Ali Wafa', this book explores the development of the idea of Islamic sainthood in the post-Ibn 'Arabi period.Using the original writings of two Egyptian Sufis, Muammad Waf and his son 'Al, this book shows how the Islamic idea of sainthood developed in the medieval period. Although without a church to canonize its "saints," the Islamic tradition nevertheless debated and developed a variety of ideas concerning miracles, sanctity, saintly intermediaries, and pious role models. In the writings of the Wafs, a complete mystical worldview unfolds, one with a distinct doctrine of sainthood and a novel understanding of the apocalypse. Using almost entirely unedited manuscript sources, author Richard J. A. McGregor shows in detail how Muammad and 'Al Waf drew on earlier philosophical and gnostic currents to construct their own mystical theories and notes their debt to the Sufi order of the Shadhiliyya, the mystic al-Tirmidh, and the great Sufi thinker Ibn Arab. Notably, although located firmly within the Sunni tradition, the Wafs felt free to draw on Shi'ite ideas for the construction of their own theory of the final great saint.
