Описание: The Safavid World brings together thirty essays on many aspects of the complex Safavid state, 1501-1722. With the latest insights and arguments, some offer overviews of the period or topic at hand, and others present new interpretations of old questions based on newly found sources.
This book explores the creation of saintly spheres surrounding Sufi masters who functioned as embodiments of Islamic sainthood and imprinted their tangible mark on the land. Situated in the Syrian milieu of the counter-crusader period that was marked by intense religious excitement and re-sanctification of the landscape, the study centres on the role of Sufi saints as revivers of the prophetic legacy and as patrons of fellow believers, and their association with the glorious history of ancient Syrian cities and the expanding sacred landscape. Based upon a variety of literary sources, including hitherto unexplored saintly vitas, the investigation aims to contribute to an understanding of the process through which the religious and charismatic leadership of the venerated shaykhs was sustained and diffused, and their holiness emplaced and commemorated.

Examining the cultural, socio-economic and political backdrop against which Sufism gained prominence, it looks at its influence in both the institutions for religious learning and popular piety.
Описание: The Sufi thinker ‘Abd al-Karim al-Jili (d. 1408) is best-known for his treatment of the idea of the Perfect Human, yet his masterpiece, al-Insan al-kamil (The Perfect Human), is in fact a wide-ranging compendium of Sufi metaphysical thought in the Ibn ‘Arabian tradition. One of the major topics treated in that work is sacred history, the story of God’s revelation of the truth to humanity through His prophets and scriptures.
Fitzroy Morrissey provides here the first in-depth study of this important section of al-Jili’s major work and the key ideas contained within it. Through a translation and analysis of the key passages on the Qur’an, Torah, Psalms and Gospel, it shows how al-Jili’s view of sacred history is conditioned by his Ibn ‘Arabian Sufi metaphysics, whereby the phenomenal world is viewed as a manifestation of God, and the prophets and scriptures as special places where the divine attributes appear more completely. It also looks at how this idea influences al-Jili’s understanding of the hierarchy of prophets, scriptures and religions. The book argues that, contrary to common assumptions, al-Jili’s Sufi metaphysical view of sacred history is in keeping with the common medieval Muslim view of sacred history, whereby the Qur’an is viewed as the best of scriptures, Muhammad as the best of prophets, and Islam as the best religion. The book therefore not only gives an insight into a key text within medieval Sufi thought, but also has ramifications for our understanding of medieval Sufi views on the relationship between Islam and other religions.
