Shiʻa Mystical Theology: Notes on Sayyid Ḥaydar ĀmulĪʼs Jāmiʻ al-Asrār wa Manbaʻ al-Anwār
Mistička teologija u šiizmu: beleške o Sajidu Hajdaru Amoliju i njegovoj knjizi Džami al asrar va manba al anvar

Summary/Abstract: There is a certain tendency among the scholars of Shī‘ī Islam to synthesize Shī‘īsm and Sufism within the Islamic context. Chief among these scholars is Bahā’ al-Dīn Ḥaydar b. ‘Alī b. Ḥaydar al-‘Ubaydī Āmulī (1319 or 1320 – after 1385) known as Ḥaydar-i Āmulī whose Jāmi‘ al-Asrār wa Manba‘ al-Anwār is one of his essential works in which the interrelation between Shī‘īsm and Sufism developed. This paper tries to look closely at the Jāmi‘ al-Asrār to depict the ways and approach in which Āmulī necessitates the identicality of the Shī‘ī-Sufi approach. In the same framework, his relation to Ibn Arabi is examined. Āmulī’s approach is called a marginalized one by some in the Shī‘ī seminary. This paper, on the other hand, indicates that Āmulī’s approach is more a continues and existing movement rather than a marginalized historical approach.
