Book SynopsisAl-Ghazali's Kitab adab al-'uzla (The Properties of Retreat) is the sixth book in the Rub' al-'adat (Quarter of Customary Practices) in his monumental work known as Ihya' 'ulum al-din (Revival of the Religious Sciences). Focusing on the issue of seclusion, or retreat from society, the main discussion in this book is the question of whether it is better to engage in social intercourse (al-mukhalata) or remove oneself from society to focus on perfecting one's relation to God. As he addresses this issue, al-Ghazali takes us through the numerous benefits and dangers of seclusion while laying out the rules to guide the one who chooses this option. He explains that although it depends on many factors, the most important is the person's intention and purpose for going into seclusion. If it is not done for the sole purpose of drawing near to God, seclusion becomes a harmful path of self-deceit. Although Kitab adab al-'uzla is premised on approaching the issue of spiritual fulfillment in the Islamic context, al-Ghazali presents to us his deep insight into the human condition that relates to Muslims and non- Muslims alike.Table of Contents The Proprieties of Retreat Book 16 Detailed Table of Contents Editor's Note Biography of Imam al-Ghazali About the Revival of the Religious Sciences Translator's Introduction Acknowledgments The Proprieties of Retreatal-Ghazali's Introduction Chapter 1: On the Transmission of the Opinions and Statements and the Evidence Given by the Two Groups on the Matter [of Retreat] Mentioning the Evidence of Those Inclined Toward Socializing and the Weakness [of the Evidence] Mention of the Evidence of Those Inclined to Prefer Retreat Chapter 2: On the Benefits and the Corrupt Aspects of Retreat and Unveiling the Truth About Its Virtue Six Benefits of Retreat 1 Completely Focus on Worship and Contemplation 2 Retreat Frees one From the Disobedient [Acts] 3 Freedom from Tribulations and Controversies 4 Freedom from the Evil of People 5 It cuts off people's desire for you and your desire for people 6 Freedom from Witnessing Disagreeable [People] Chapter 3: On the Harms of Retreat Seven Benefits of Socializing 1 Teaching and Learning 2 Giving and Receiving Benefits 3 Teaching and Learning [Good] Manners 4 Familiarity and Intimacy 5 Attaining Reward for Oneself and for Others 16 Humility [Gaining] experience Bibliography Indexes Index of Qur?anic Verses Index of ?adithIndex of Supplications and Invocations Index of People and Places Subject Index About the Translator

Hohm Press,U.S. Sweet Lunacy: Divine Intoxication in Sufi
Book SynopsisDivine Intoxication is a common theme in Middle Eastern poetry. The wine on which the seeker becomes drunk is nothing less than the nectar of love. Such inebriation, however, often produces unconventional behaviour, even hints of madness, marking the lover as one apparently lost to the ordinary world. In this mood, Kahlil Gibran wrote: Only an idiot and a genius break man-made laws and they are the nearest to the heart of God. And so, the poetry written by or about these drunkards is often saturated with perennial wisdom, with stark reflections of the truth (in vino veritas), and with a variety of prayerful longing that is found throughout all mystical traditions.SWEET LUNACY contains works by some of the most well-known mystical Sufi poets from the 11th through the 14th century, including Rumi, Attar, and Jami. But the reader will also meet lesser-known authors here whose messages, both unique and fresh, are equally inspiring. The poets in this collection are those who, for reasons which might not seem altogether reasonable to our everyday mind and logic, were willing and able to question this mystery called life and, unwilling to accept readymade answers. Vraje Abramian, born in Iran and a native speaker of Farsi, has worked to keep his translations as close to the meaning and cultural flavour of the originals as possible.

De Gruyter Re-centering the Sufi Shrine: A Metaphysics of
Book SynopsisRecentering the Sufi Shrine is a study of ritual, Sufi eschatology, and vernacular theopoetics of pilgrimage to Sufi shrines in the Indus region of Pakistan. The book examines the distinction between two different ritual contestations over pilgrimage to Sufi tombs: (1) an exposition of Ṭariqa-i Muhammadiyya’s millenarian Scripturalist reform of Sufism, and (2) Bulleh Shah’s (d. 1767) vernacular Sufism, a hard-hitting Sufi-poet of textual ("bookish") knowledge of religious scholars. This is the first work examining the legal theology of ritual intervention in using scripture to regulate the resurrected bodies of saints, on the one hand, and the ritual metaphysics of presence in understanding the significance and meaning of Sufi shrines, on the other.

Sterling Publishers Pvt.Ltd Essence of Sufism: The Union of Tasawwuf &
Book SynopsisTasawwuf is the very essence of Sufism and that of man''s existence. Evolving out of Islam, it has now become part of the inner life of every aspirant. Islam centres around four pillars Shariat, Hadith, Tariqat, and Tasawwuf. Of this Shariat and hadith form the part of the outer body of the religion. And tariqat and tasawwuf form the inner core of The Holy Prophet PBH. Tariqat and tasawwuf are connected to the nisbet of the Holy Prophet PBH. Tariqat prepares you along the way and tasawwuf preserves your awareness. This work is the combination of the Kalam of various composers and Sheikhs such as Rattan Lal Hangloo, Jalaluddin Rumi, Mahadevi Verma, Naqshbandi Sufi Brij Mohan Lal, and many more. The essence of these compositions is blended with the Naqshbandi nisbet to create maraqba in the form of The Essence of Sufism. This work will be remembered, now and in times to come, as a new era in Tasawwuf!

Sterling Publishers Pvt.Ltd Sufism and Modern Science
Book SynopsisSufism and Modern Science sheds light on the relationship between science and Sufism in Islamic history and philosophy. Al-Ghazali, Mevlana Rumi, Hasan al-Basri, Akshemseddin and Ahmed Süreyya Emin Bey are some of the names in the long list of Sufis who contributed to the field of science and philosophy. From the process of converting one element into another to the idea of overcoming time and space, Sufis have silently worked on and contributed to several scientific theories and theorems. Although this was not their main duty, they were pioneers in the positive sciences. Some Sufis used symbolic expressions which could be related to the terms developed by scientists only centuries later. From this, it is possible to sense the depth of the scientific foresight of the Sufis who also helped untangle the obstructed horizons of positive sciences. This book enlightens the readers of the lost history of science which was immensely enriched by the Sufis in different periods of time.

Oxford University Press,Pakistan 'We are Lovers of the Qalandar': Piety, Pilgrimage, and Ritual in Pakistani Sufi Islam
Book SynopsisThis book is about Pakistan's most popular Sufi saint Lal Shahbaz Qalandar whose shrine in Sehwan Sharif is one of the most fascinating sanctuaries in the Muslim world. At the time of pilgrimage, this flourishing cult centre becomes a vibrant place of ecstatic religiosity marked by intense forms of devotion. The present ethnographic study is organized around three themes: piety, pilgrimage, and ritual. Thus, its focus is first on visual culture and 'material religion' as well as various aspects of religious aesthetics which highlight how sacred spaces are constructed and shaped. Secondly, it deals with the year-round pilgrimage, mainly investigating pilgrims from Punjab (including a unique life history of a female 'Sufi lineage' from Lahore), but also discussing remarkable ritual agents in the cult. The third theme is the spectacular trance dance known as dhamāl. On February 16, 2017, a suicide bomber executed a horrible massacre among the dancing devotees. This work, which is the fruit of the author's field-research between 2003 and 2015 in Sindh and Punjab, aims to contribute to a 'Sufism observed' which often seems to be neglected in mainly text-based Sufi studies. It is an academic companion to his earlier At the Shrine of the Red Sufi (OUP, 2011).Trade Review"We are Lovers of the Qalandar" is a vital addition to the scholarship of Pakistani Sufism and the anthropology of Islam. Frembgen's meticulous, granular ethnography is nuanced by his attention to broader historical, literary, and theoretical source materials...this book will serve as a useful resource for graduate and undergraduate courses in cultural anthropology, Islamic studies, Sufism, South Asia, and material culture and religion. It will also appeal to a broad readership searching for a more informed account of Islam and Sufism beyond the reductive, one-dimensional caricatures that too often (mis)inform journalistic and mass media reporting. * Robert Rozehnal, Lehigh University, Journal of Sufi Studies *We are Lovers of the Qalandar is a profoundly rich contribution to the field of South Asian Sufism, Anthropology of Art, and Islam. It is a novel addition to the visual material theory of Sufi tradition in Islam. * M. Rafique Wassan, Anthropos *

The American University in Cairo Press Jihad of the Pen: Sufi Scholars of Africa in
Book SynopsisOutsiders have long observed the contours of the flourishing scholarly traditions of African Muslim societies, but the most renowned voices of West African Sufism have rarely been heard outside of their respective constituencies. This volume brings together writings by Uthman b. Fudi (d. 1817, Nigeria), Umar Tal (d. 1864, Mali), Ahmad Bamba (d. 1927, Senegal), and Ibrahim Niasse (d. 1975, Senegal), who, between them, founded the largest Muslim communities in African history. Jihad of the Pen offers translations of Arabic source material that proved formative to the constitution of a veritable Islamic revival sweeping West Africa in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Recurring themes shared by these scholars—etiquette on the spiritual path, love for the Prophet Muhammad, and divine knowledge—demonstrate a shared, vibrant scholarly heritage in West Africa that drew on the classics of global Islamic learning, but also made its own contributions to Islamic intellectual history. The authors have selected enduringly relevant primary sources and richly contextualized them within broader currents of Islamic scholarship on the African continent. Students of Islam or Africa, especially those interesting in learning more of the profound contributions of African Muslim scholars, will find this work an essential reference for the university classroom or personal library.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Note on Translation Introduction: Zachary Wright Four Saintly Biographies Islamic Intellectual Production in West Africa Islamic Law in West Africa Philosophy and Metaphysics Women Scholars of West Africa Structure of the Book Shaykh ?Uthman b.
