Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Des maîtres soufis aussi éminents que Rûmi ou Ibn Arabi ont vu en Jésus le « Sceau de la saintet頻, tout comme Muhammad est le « Sceau de la prophétie ». Faouzi Skali, spécialiste reconnu du soufisme et membre d'une confrérie, avait amorcé une recherche sur ce thème au côté d'Eva de Vitray-Meyerovitch, qui a beaucoup contribué à faire connaître la mystique musulmane en Occident. Il rapproche ici Evangile, Coran et textes mystiques pour dresser le portrait d'un Jésus qui nous invite à la religion du coeur, par-delà les barrières confessionnelles. Le dialogue incessant des monothéismes trouve ici l'une de ses expressions les plus belles et les plus actuelles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bien que les intégristes musulmans persistent à l’ignorer, Jésus tient une place centrale dans la spiritualité islamique : il est perçu comme le "Sceau de la sainteté" de même que Mahomet est le "Sceau de la prophétie". Pour le soufisme, il est le modèle du maître spirituel et de l’amitié intime avec Dieu. Faouzi Skali et Eva de Vitray Meyerovitch, deux des plus grands spécialistes francophones du soufisme, rapprochent ici Evangiles, Coran et textes mystiques de Rûmi ou d’Ibn Arabi. Ils nous dressent le portrait étonnant d’un Jésus initiateur aux mystères de l’amour divin. Cet essai, qui fut la seule collaboration entre ces deux auteurs et qui est ici présenté dans une édition fortement augmentée (première édition : Editions de l’Ouvert, 1985), s’attache également à la figure de Marie et de Jean Baptiste et explore les idées de prophétie, de sainteté et de miracle dans la tradition spirituelle de l’islam. Le dialogue incessant des monothéismes trouve ici une de ses expressions les plus belles et les plus actuelles.
Download or read book Allah au f minin written by Eric Geoffroy and published by Albin Michel. This book was released on 2020-02-26 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À l'encontre de la misogynie ordinaire qui traverse tous les milieux sans épargner les plus « éveillés », il est indéniable que le Divin en islam présente des aspects profondément féminins. Dieu ne se nomme-t-il pas lui-même « le Tout-Miséricordieux » (expression coranique qui renvoie à la « matrice » de la femme) ? Ainsi, nombre de maîtres soufis ont exalté la précellence spirituelle du principe féminin, et se sont parfois adressés à « Elle » plutôt qu'à « Lui ». Éric Geoffroy, islamologue et spécialiste internationalement reconnu du soufisme, rend compte ici de cette face méconnue de l'islam, à travers ses développements sur l'androgynie originelle de l'humanité, l'évocation de grandes figures féminines comme Marie et des saintes soufies. Ce tableau étonnant débouche sur l'évolution actuelle du soufisme qui ouvre des voies nouvelles dans la pratique musulmane : nous découvrons des femmes théologiennes, des imames, et même des cheikhas de confréries, qui s'imposent par leur dimension spirituelle. Il nous permet aussi de mieux saisir en quoi le Féminin semble incarner l'avenir de nos sociétés.
Download or read book Mo se dans la tradition soufie written by Faouzi Skali and published by Albin Michel. This book was released on 2011-04-06 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moïse est le prophète le plus cité dans le Coran. Reliant comme Abraham les trois traditions monothéistes, il incarne dans l'islam la double figure d'un prophète législateur et d'un maître d'initiation à la Voie, comme l'enseigne le soufisme. Celle-ci considère en effet la chaîne des prophètes depuis Adam comme un axe essentiel de l'histoire de l'humanité, au sein de laquelle la figure de Moïse exprime un degré spécifique de réalisation spirituelle.À partir des textes coraniques et des traditions recueillies par Tabari, Faouzi Skali reconstitue pour nous les principales étapes de la vie de Moïse. Surtout, au travers notamment des textes d'Ibn ÄòArabi, de Rûmi ou encore de l'émir Abd el-Kader, il nous dévoile il peut être pour chacun de nous, aujourd'hui encore, une source de sagesse. Il nous nous montre ainsi à quel point l'islam, en particulier dans son aspect le plus intérieur, s'inscrit dans la fidélité aux messages qui l'ont précédé.
Download or read book Women in Sufism written by Marta Dominguez Diaz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-24 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the diverse myriad of female religious identities that exist within the various branches of the Moroccan Sufi Order, Qādiriyya Būdshīshiyya, today, this book evidences a wide array of religious identities, from those more typical of Berber culture, to those characterised by a ‘sober’ approach to Sufism, as well as those that denote New Age eclecticism. The book researches the ways in which religious discourses are corporeally endorsed. After providing an overview of the Order historically and today, enunciating the processes by which this local tarīqa from North-eastern Morocco has become the international organization that it is now, the book explores the religious body in movement, in performance, and in relation to the social order. It analyses pilgrimage by assessing the annual visit that followers of Hamza Būdshīsh make to the central lodge of the Order in Madāgh; it explores bodily religious enactments in ritual performance, by discussing the central practices of Sufi ritual as manifested in the Būdshīshiyya, and delves attention into diverse understandings of faith healing and health issues. Women and Sufism provides a detailed insight into religious healing, sufi rituals and sufi pilgrimage, and is essential reading for those seeking to understand Islam in Morocco, or those with an interest in Anthropology and Middle East studies more generally.
Download or read book Emotion in Christian and Islamic Contemplative Texts 1100 1250 written by A. S. Lazikani and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-07 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comparative study of emotion in Arabic Islamic and English Christian contemplative texts, c. 1110-1250, contributing to the emerging interest in ‘globalization’ in medieval studies. A.S.Lazikani argues for the necessity of placing medieval English devotional texts in a more global context and seeks to modify influential narratives on the ‘history of emotions’ to enable this more wide-ranging critical outlook. Across eight chapters, the book examines the dialogic encounters generated by comparative readings of Muhyddin Ibn ‘Arabi (1165-1240), ‘Umar Ibn al-Fārid (1181-1235), Abu al-Hasan al-Shushtarī (d. 1269), Ancrene Wisse (c. 1225), and the Wooing Group (c. 1225). Investigating the two-fold ‘paradigms of love’ in the figure of Jesus and in the image of the heart, the (dis)embodied language of affect, and the affective semiotics of absence and secrecy, Lazikani demonstrates an interconnection between the religious traditions of early Christianity and Islam.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Sufism written by John Renard and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most broadly accepted explanation of Sufism is the etymological derivation of the term from the Arabic for “wool,” ṣūf, associating practitioners with a preference for poor, rough clothing. This explanation clearly identifies Sufism with ascetical practice and the importance of manifesting spiritual poverty through material poverty. In fact, some of the earliest “Western” descriptions of individuals now widely associated with the larger phenomenon of Sufism identified them with the Arabic term faqīr, mendicant, or its most common Persian equivalent, darwīsh. Sufism, as presented here embraces a host of features including the ritual, institutional, psychological, hermeneutical, artistic, literary, ethical, and epistemological. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Sufism contains a chronology, an introduction, a glossary, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1,000 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, major historical figures and movements, practices, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Sufism.
Download or read book The Languages of Religion written by Sipra Mukherjee and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2018-06-14 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the power that religion wields upon the minds of individuals and communities and explores the predominance of language in the actual practice of religion. Through an investigation of the diverse forms of religious language available — oral traditions, sacred texts, evangelical prose, and national rhetoric used by ‘faith-insiders’ such as missionaries, priests, or religious leaders who play the communicator’s role between the sacred and the secular — the chapters in the volume reveal the dependence of religion upon language, demonstrating how religion draws strength from a past that is embedded in narratives, infusing the ‘sacred’ language with political power. The book combines broad theoretical and normative reflections in contexts of original, detailed and closely examined empirical case studies. Drawing upon resources across disciplines, the book will be of interest to scholars of religion and religious studies, linguistics, politics, cultural studies, history, sociology, and social anthropology.
Download or read book The Different aspects of Islamic culture written by Ali, Abdulrahim and published by UNESCO Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series of volumes on the manifold facets of Islamic culture is intended to acquaint a very wide public with the theological bases of its faith; the status of the individual and of society in the Islamic world; its expansion since the Revelation; its cultural manifestations in literature and the arts; and finally, Islam today between loyalty to its past and the new challenges of modernity. The last 100 years of Islamic history are examined in the final volume, although the approach is thematic rather than historical. The period considered has seen European colonialism in most of the Islamic world, and Islam has played a major role in the initiation and organization of resistance movements. We survey the groupings and forms of co-operation that have arisen since liberation from colonialism and investigate the political necessity and the moral stand that underlie the unity of the Islamic peoples. Social and economic progress is reviewed and space is devoted to such topics as the ongoing problem of Palestine, moves towards educational reform, and the status of women in Islam. As the Islamic world cannot be imagined in isolation, this volume examines the attitude of contemporary Islam towards other religions and cultures, and considers efforts aimed at achieving mutual understanding and coexistence in both Muslim and non-Muslim countries.

Download or read book R m and Sufism written by Eva de Vitray-Meyerovitch and published by Post Apollo Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonfiction. Rumi is one of the great mystics of Islam. He founded in the XIIIth century a brotherhood in the Turkish city of Konya, famous for the use of music in the context of spiritual experience. To understand Rumi is to enter the world of Islam in its true sense: known as a "Sufi," Rumi is on par with the spiritual Masters of all great religious traditions. Written by Eva de Vitray-Meyerovitch, a French scholar who became a believer in Islam through her works on Sufism, this book is the best initiation not only to Rumi, but to Islamic thought: it is clear, elegant, scholarly, beautiful. It is an excellent tool for serious students of Islam as well as for the general public who wants to approach Islamic civilization with the respect and competence it requires. It should be on the program of any studies dealing with Islam, comparative studies of religions, the values and politics of the Islamic world. It is a key to the underlying world-view which it is impossible to understand without comprehending its spiritual roots. But this book is also about the life and writings of one of the great poets of the world.

Download or read book Sufism and the Modern in Islam written by Martin Van Bruinessen and published by I. B. Tauris. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sufism has not only survived into the twenty-first century but has experienced a significant resurgence throughout the Muslim world. Sufism and the 'Modern' in Islam offers refreshing new perspectives on this phenomenon, demonstrating surprising connections between Sufism and Muslim reformist currents, and the vital presence of Sufi ideas and practices in all spheres of life. Contrary to earlier theories of the modernization of Muslim societies, Sufi influence on the political, economic and intellectual life of contemporary Muslim societies has been considerable. Although less noticed than the resurgence of radical Islam, Sufi orders and related movements involve considerably larger numbers of followers, even among the modern urban middle classes. This innovative study brings together new comparative and interdisciplinary research to show how Sufis have responded to modernization and globalization and how various currents of Islamic reform and Sufism have interacted. Offering fascinating new insights into the pervasive Sufi influence on modern Islamic religiosity and contemporary political and economic life, this book raises important questions about Islam in the age of urbanism and mass communications.
Download or read book Kimbanguism written by Aurélien Mokoko Gampiot and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2017-03-20 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, Aurélien Mokoko Gampiot, a sociologist and son of a Kimbanguist pastor, provides a fresh and insightful perspective on African Kimbanguism and its traditions. The largest of the African-initiated churches, Kimbanguism claims seventeen million followers worldwide. Like other such churches, it originated out of black African resistance to colonization in the early twentieth century and advocates reconstructing blackness by appropriating the parameters of Christian identity. Mokoko Gampiot provides a contextual history of the religion’s origins and development, compares Kimbanguism with other African-initiated churches and with earlier movements of political and spiritual liberation, and explores the implicit and explicit racial dynamics of Christian identity that inform church leaders and lay practitioners. He explains how Kimbanguists understand their own blackness as both a curse and a mission and how that underlying belief continuously spurs them to reinterpret the Bible through their own prisms. Drawing from an unprecedented investigation into Kimbanguism’s massive body of oral traditions—recorded sermons, participant observations of church services and healing sessions, and translations of hymns—and informed throughout by Mokoko Gampiot’s intimate knowledge of the customs and language of Kimbanguism, this is an unparalleled theological and sociological analysis of a unique African Christian movement.
