Ibn al-'Arabi - the Sufi mystic A history of pantheism and scientific pantheism by Paul Harrison. Are you a pantheist? Find out now at the Scientific Pantheism site. The existence of all created things is His existence. Thou dost not see, in this world or the next, anything beside God. Rooflight, Mahan, Iran. Just as Mohammed is the most uncompromising of monotheists, so Ibn al-'Arabi is the most rigorous of panentheists. Everything that exists is a part of and a manifestation of the Oneness of God. Humans are part of God. The idea of a separate self is the result of ignorance. Ibn al-'Arabi was born in Murcia, Spain, in AH 560 [AD 1165]. At the age of twenty he was initiated into Sufism. From the 1190s he engaged in three decades of travels as a wandering scholar, poet and mystic, visiting the Maghreb, Egypt, Arabia, Syria and Asia Minor. In 1223 he finally settled in Damascus. One source of Ibn al-'Arabi's panentheism is Sufism, which seeks to efface the self in mystical union with God. The other is Islamic theology. Panentheism is already strongly present - in the Quran: "Wheresoever you turn, there is the face of God." [Quran, II.115.] And in Islam

Wij prijzen Allaahu Ta`ala en vragen Zijn hulp en vergiffenis. Wij zoeken onze toevlucht bij Allaahu Ta`ala voor al het kwade die van de shaytan (satan) en onze nafs (ego) komt. Als Allaahu Ta`ala iemand op de rechte weg leidt, is niemand in staat hem te misleiden. En als Allaahu Ta`ala iemand misleidt, is niemand in staat hem op het rechte pad te krijgen. Wij getuigen dat er geen godheid is dan Allaahu Ta`ala en wij getuigen ook dat Muhammad (sas) Zijn dienaar en Zijn Gezant is. As-salaat (gebeden) en as-salaam (groetenis) zijn voor de laatste der Rasoel (Boodschapper) en de Nabie (profeet) van Allaahu Ta`ala, Muhammad Mustafa (sas). As Salaam aan hem die de mensheid uit de duisternis van ongeloof en onrecht heeft gehaald en As Salaam aan een ieder die zijn boodschap volgt. Laatste jaren neemt het sufisme in Nederland en ook in West Europa sterk toe. Zo nu en dan lees je uit de monde van sufisten uitspraken, die je haren doen overeind staan.

Sufi and `Irfan Links Sufism is a set of Traditions related to Islamic Mysticism Sufism is the attempt of the individual mystic to achieve union with the divine Beloved, the Absolute from which human beings are separated by their base selves. It typically involves a regimen of at least moderate self-denial, regular prayers, supplications, and the recitation of spiritual formulas and the divine names, and group chanting and textual study. Among the greatest of Sufis were Rabi`a of Baghdad, Junayd, al-Hallaj, Bayazid Bistami, al-Ghazali, Ibn al-`Arabi and Jalalu'd-Din Rumi. `Irfan is a later, especially Iranian and Shi`ite tradition of mysticism that is more individualist and more metaphysically oriented than many of the formal Sufi orders in Sunnism. Great figures here include Mir Damad, Mulla Sadra, Muhsin Fayz Kashani, and Shaykh Ahmad al-Ahsa'i.

69. Philosophers : Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali Biography of this noted Persian sufi thinker. http://www.trincoll.edu/depts/phil/philo/phils/muslim/ghazali.html

Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali Iranian Muslim Philosopher Abu Hamid Ibn Muhammad Ibn Muhammad al-Tusi al-Shafi'i al-Ghazali was born in 1058 A.D. in Khorasan, Iran. His father died while he was still very young but he had the opportunity of getting education in the prevalent curriculum at Nishapur and Baghdad. Soon he acquired a high standard of scholarship in religion and philosophy and was honoured by his appointment as a Professor at the Nizamiyah University of Baghdad, which was recognised as one of the most reputed institutions of learning in the golden era of Muslim history. After a few years, however, he gave up his academic pursuits and worldly interests and became a wandering ascetic. This was a process (period) of mystical transformation. Later, he resumed his teaching duties, but again left these. An era of solitary life, devoted to contemplation and writing then ensued, which led to the author- ship of a number of everlasting books. He died in 1128 A.D. at Baghdad. Ghazali's major contribution lies in religion, philosophy and sufism. A number of Muslim philosophers had been following and developing several viewpoints of Greek philosophy, including the Neoplatonic philosophy, and this was leading to conflict with several Islamic teachings. On the other hand, the movement of sufism was assuming such excessive proportions as to avoid observance of obligatory prayers and duties of Islam. Based on his unquestionable scholarship and personal mystical experience, Ghazali sought to rectify these trends, both in philosophy and sufism.

Abd-al-Rahman Al Sufi (December 7, 903 - May 25, 986 A.D.) Abd-al-Rahman Al Sufi (or Abr-ar Rahman As Sufi, or (according to R.H. Allen 1899 ) Abd al Rahman Abu al Husain, sometimes referred to as Azophi) was living at the court of the Emire Adud ad-Daula in Isfahan (Persia), and working on astronomical studies based on Greek work, especially the Almagest of Ptolemy . He contributed several corrections to Ptolemy's star list, in particular he did own brightness/magnitude estimates which frequently deviated from those in Ptolemy's work. Also, he was the first to attempt to relate the Greek with the traditional arabic star names and constellations, which was difficult as these constellations were completely unrelated and overlapped in a complicated way. Al Sufi published his famous "Book of Fixed Stars" in 964, describing much of his work, both in textual descriptions and pictures. In his descriptions and pictures of Andromeda , he included " A Little Cloud " which is actually the Andromeda Galaxy M31 . He mentions it as lying before the mouth of a Big Fish, an Arabic constellation. This "cloud" was apparently commonly known to the Isfahan astronomers, very probably before 905 AD. In this book, he probably also cataloged

75. Introduction To Gnosis #30 Return to issue contents, The sufi Conundrum. How to Order, by Jay Kinney. Home, I can still recall the first time I ran into someone purporting to be a sufi. http://www.lumen.org/intros/intro30.html

The Sufi Conundrum by Jay Kinney I can still recall the first time I ran into someone purporting to be a Sufi. I was visiting San Francisco in 1971 and had just met the long-haired printer who was publishing an underground comic that I was co-editing. He sported a worn denim jacket with a large winged heart embroidered on the back in the homespun fashion of the time. Having seen that symbol around before, I asked him what it stood for. "Sufism," he replied (or something to that effect), which led me to inquire about what that was. The gist of his response was that Sufis were proponents of love and he was a part of a local Sufi group that held "Sufi dancing" every week. "You oughta come," he opined. "It's a great place to meet chicks!" As it turned out I didn't go Sufi dancing, I didn't meet any Sufi "chicks," and my later relations with that printer were soon clouded by his deplorable business sense, all of which left me with an extremely confused notion of Sufism. A couple of years later, having now moved to San Francisco, I went to a reading by Allen Ginsberg which was preceded by a performance of the Sufi Choir, a Bay Area phenomenon of the time. Given their mixed repertoire and Marin hippie sartorial style, the Sufi Choir didn't ease my confusion about Sufism one bit. On the one hand I had heard that Sufis were Islamic mystics (though surely the printer with the denim jacket and the Sufi Choir didn't match that image); on the other hand I had read a short book by Sufi teacher Hazrat Inayat Khan that emphasized the unity of all religions. This sounded fine, but all the parts didn't fit into a coherent whole as far as I could tell.

Then he broke his contemplation by thinking about bread,which suddenly appeared before him whereupon he lamented because he had just lost a sublime State Of Awareness. Few moments after, an Ancient Sage came upon him. Jesus said to him: 'May YOU, the blessed one ,help me.

Movimento Sufi Internazionale in Italia e Ticino Indice IL SUFISMO E IL MESSAGGIO SUFI SCOPI DEL MOVIMENTO SUFI I LIBRI E RIVISTA L'ANGOLO DELLA POESIA ... GAYATRI Hazrat Inayat Khan IL SUFISMO E IL MESSAGGIO SUFI Sufismo significa saggezza. Tutti sappiamo che i Cristiani sentono che c'è saggezza nell'essere Cristiani. Gli Ebrei sentono che c'è saggezza nell'essere Ebrei. I Musulmani sentono che c'è saggezza nell'essere Musulmani. Gli Indù e i Buddisti, e così molti altri, sentono anche che c'è saggezza nell'appartenere alla religione cui appartengono. Infatti, se i Cristiani scoprono veramente la saggezza, allora sono Sufi, sia loro scelgano di chiamarsi così oppure non. Se gli Ebrei scoprono veramente la saggezza, allora sono Sufi. Se i Musulmani scoprono veramente la saggezza, allora sono dei Sufi, e lo stesso vale per i Buddisti e gli Indù e per tutti coloro che seguono qualsiasi religione. Un Sufi, per definizione, è un'anima religiosa, tuttavia, il Sufismo non è una religione, né un culto o una scuola. Il Sufismo è proprio solo una "porta aperta", un atteggiamento di simpatia interiore verso tutte le credenze. Tutte le religioni sembrano essere tutte derivazioni di uno e dello stesso impulso, il grido del cuore, la brama dell'anima per Dio. Un Sufi sente la necessità di fare certe pratiche che non sono tenute segrete egoisticamente come nel caso di vari culti e sette. Queste pratiche sono salutari da un punto di vista fisico come anche psicologico. Per esempio, le pratiche di respirazione sono incoraggiate per sviluppare la finezza dell'energia del Prana nel respiro. Non è il volume del respiro che è importante ma piuttosto l'intensità della luce del Cosmo che il respiro trasmette. Altre discipline come le pratiche di concentrazione aiutano estremamente l'allenamento della mente. Sorprendentemente, più siamo capaci di concentrarci su un dato pensiero e tenerlo saldo più siamo capaci di liberare la mente da un pensiero che non è voluto. Ci sono talmente tante persone che sono infelici perché sono ossessionati da pensieri che disturbano, e non sanno come sbarazzarsene.

80. Islamic Hell The Violent Truth behind the sufi Mask. http://www.flex.com/~jai/satyamevajayate/sufi.html

The Violent Truth Behind The Sufi Mask Following is a presentation of excerpts taken from Sita Ram Goel's works. M any Hindus have been misled, mostly by their own soft-headed scholars, to cherish the fond belief that the Sufis were spiritual seekers, and that unlike the Mullahs, they loved Hindu religious lore and liked their Hindu neighbours. The Chistiyya Sufis in particluar have neem chosen for such fulsome praise. The orthodox among the Muslims protest that the Sufis are being slandered. But the Hindus remains convinced that they themselves know better. Professor Aziz Ahmad is a renowned scholar of Islam in India. He clinches the matter in the following words : "In Indian sufism anti-Hindu polemics started with Muinal-din Chisti. Early sufis in Punjab and early Chistis devoted themselves to the task of conversion on a large scale. Missionary activity slowed down under Nizam al-din Auliya, not because of any new concept of eclecticism, but because he held that the Hindus were generally excluded from grace and could not be easily converted to Islam unless they had the opportunity to be in the company of the Muslim saints for considerable time." Of course, the Auliya who lived in a sprawling khanqah and re- ceived rich gifts out of plunder was convinced that he himself was such a Muslim saint. His temper and teachings can be known easily from die, writings of Amir Khusru, the poet, and Ziauddin Barani, the historian. Both of them were leading disciples of the Auliya. Both of them ex- press a great hatred for Hindus, and regret that the Hanafl school of Islamic Law had come in the way of wiping out completely the
