Download or read book The Sacred Books and Early Literature of the East Vol 8 written by Charles Francis Horne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-07-19 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sacred Books and Early Literature of the East, Vol. 8: Medieval Persia Let us understand this subject more fully. Perhaps Per sia never did accept Mohammedanism very deeply. It was forced on her by her Arab conquerors; and though in the course of generations the lower classes became thoroughly imbued with the new faith, yet thinking men may always have accepted it with reservation. We have seen in our pre vions volume that, in the year 1000, even the great Court poet Firdausi was accused of Zoroastrianism. It would appear, therefore, that when Persia shook herself free after more than three hundred years of Arab dominion, her upper classes had no very strong religion, though like all men they desired one and sought for it. Thus arose Sufism. The for mulas of Mohammedanism must still be followed, to satisfy the masses of the people, and the words of the Koran served well enough for the metaphorical expression of deeper ideas. So Sufism clothed itself in metaphors, and was taught by poet-preachers. It became a religion of poetry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Persian Mystics: Jami In the preparation of this little volume much depended upon the kindness and generosity of certain Oriental scholars, who have allowed me to reproduce some of their translations from Jami. I have attempted to give their best work in so far as it tends to illustrate the mystical teaching of the last great poet of Persia. Once more I am indebted to Mr. E. H. Whinfield for permission to quote from his translation of the Lawa'ih (Oriental Translation Fund, New Series, vol. xvi., Royal Asiatic Society, London). I have to thank Prof. Edward G. Browne for allowing me to use his beautiful translation from Yusuf and Zulaikha, which I have called "The Coming of the Beloved." This translation appears, in fuller form, in Prof. E. G. Browne's article on "Sufiism" in Religious Systems of the World (Sonnenschein). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Christian Encounters with Iran written by Sasan Tavassoli and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04-30 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interface between the current Shi'ite landscape and Christian thinking is of the greatest significance for the shifting political and religious dynamics of the Middle East. Sasan Tavassoli here examines Iranian Shi'ite thinkers' encounters with Christian thought since the Islamic revolution of 1979, and provides insight into the cultural and intellectual climate surrounding Christian-Muslim dialogue in contemporary Iran. The literature on Christianity in Iran reveals a wide range of approaches and attitudes, and Tavassoli demonstrates that traditional polemics are giving way to a more descriptive and subjective understanding of Christian thought. He also studies Muslim-Christian dialogue and research conducted and supported by governmental as well as non-governmental organizations, and offers a close examination, with interviews, of the work of three prominent liberal religious intellectuals - Abdol Karim Soroush, Mostafa Malekian and Mojtahed Shabestari. Placing contemporary Shi'ite thought in the broad historical context of pre- and post-revolution Iran, Tavassoli relates concrete religious, cultural and socio-political realities to the themes and orientations in the latest phase of the Shi'i Islam-Christianity encounter, and offers fresh insight into the dynamism of contemporary Islam and the religious complexities of the Muslim world.
