Sufism in the Spiritual and Cultural History of Islam

Author(s): Amina Aliyeva / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2019

Spread around the world due to its variety and presence of various scientific, cultural and philosophical movements since the Islamic revival Islamic culture laid the foundation for many new directions of human development and enriched its spiritual and cultural heritage. From this point of view in nowadays Sufism has got a great importance and carefully studied. The author notes that the concepts of Sufis of the early tasawwuf period Bayazed Bistami and Junade Baghdadi were systematized later in a more perfect form by Imam Ghazali and Seyyid Yahya Bakuvi. One of the most important persons in the history of Sufism was ibn Arabi, the follower of the era after Gazali and the creator of the philosophical tasawwuf.The author emphasizes that the theory of wahdati-wujud created by Gazali left a deep mark on the world philosophical heritage and became the basic of the great Tasawwuf tradition (Morewedge 1995).According to researches Khalwatiyya created by Bakuvi (died in 1463/1464) in Azerbaijan and widely spread in many countries is one of the most important movements in Islam. Bakuvi was a student and follower of the first founder of this movement Omar al Khalvati Shirvani known as Piri-Avvali.

Contemporary Marketing Communication and the Case of Islam

Author(s): Zijad Bećirović / Language(s): English Issue: 2 (11)/2014

This paper discusses specifics of marketing communication in the case of Islam with a purpose to enable better and efficient understanding with the Muslim business community. This would mean that in order to understand Islamic people it is essential to understand that according to the doctrine of Islamic religion Muslims submit entirely to God, and are ready to give up pleasures in this world so that they will enjoy them in the next world. One should keep in mind that for Muslims, life in this world presents only a transitional phase in which they try to achieve heaven in the other, next world. Hence, against this background marketing and business communication should be very sensitive, taking well into account Islamic teachings. Failure to respect here discussed principles may cause serious damage to companies hoping to operate on Islamic markets, even prevent them from entering such markets. Marketing and business communication represent the first public steps of companies entering the market. If they make a mistake at this stage it will be hard to achieve success in subsequent stages. Particular attention is given to understanding the institution of fatwa as a form of communication and its reference to public relations.

Post-Secular Society and the Multi-Vocal Religious Sphere in Turkey

Author(s): Alper Bilgili / Language(s): English Issue: 2 (5)/2011

Secularism in Turkey has been an area of fierce discussions driven primarily by the existence of a state institution regulating religious affairs, the Directorate of Religious Affairs (The Diyanet). Having emerged as a product of ideas and developments of the 21st century, the new post-secular society in Turkey is spearheading a multi-vocal religious sphere that is providing areas of influence to religious communities (cemaats). The significan’t question with regard to this changing structure in Turkey is whether this increasing influence of the cemaats will lead to an Islamicized Turkey. To answer this question, the article argues that the emerging multi-vocal religious sphere is a result of the democratic climate that has been created out of the possibilities offered by globalization and European Union accession. Thus, multi-vocality should be interpreted as a normalization process that will redress the problems created by the hyper-secularist practices of the early republican era, rather than an attack against the democratic pillars of the Republic.

STATUS SAMOSTALNO SKLOPLJENOGA BRAKA ŽENE (BI DUN AL-WALIYY) U FIKHU EVROPSKOG VIJEĆA ZA FETVE I ISTRAŽIVANJA I SAVREMENIM ZAKONIMA O PORODIČNIM ODNOSIMA VEĆINE ARAPSKIH ZEMALJA

Author(s): Ahmed Hatunić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 9/2023

Ovaj rad bavit će se šerijatskopravnim statusom samostalno sklopljenog braka žene (bi dūn al-waliyy) u fikhu Evropskog vijeća za fetve i istraživanja i savremenim zakonima o porodičnim odnosima većine arapskih zemalja (Egipat, Irak, Sirija, Jordan, UAE, Kuvajt, Katar, Bahrejin, Oman). U radu će biti navedene definicije pojma staratelj (al-waliyy) te stavovi i argumenti dvije, po ovom pitanju, suprotstavljene grupacije islamskih pravnika klasičnog perioda, od kojih jedna brak bez dozvole staratelja smatra apsolutno ništavnim (al-bāṭil), dok druga grupacija, uglavnom hanefijskih pravnika, takav brak smatra pravovaljanim (al-ṣaḥīḥ), ukoliko među supružnicima postoji međusobna dostojnost (al-kuf') čije nepostajanje se mora dokazati sudskim putem. Radi se o važnom pravnom pitanju za život kulturološki heterogenih muslimanskih zajednica u Evropi. Stavovi Evropskog vijeća za fetve i istraživanja u vezi s pitanjem koji brak žene bez dozvole i prisustva staratelja smatraju prihvatljivim, u velikoj mjeri će muslimanskim manjinama, ali i drugima, olakšati sklapanje braka, a time ih udaljiti od štetnih posljedica vanbračne zajednice ili pribjegavanja sklapanja isključivo i samo građanskoga braka.

SUFIJSKI MOTIVI U POEZIJI SAFVET-BEGA BAŠAGIĆA

Author(s): Nedim Alić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 7/2021

Sufizam je važno obilježje islamske duhovnosti i tradicije pa tako i kulture Bošnjaka muslimana. Značajan je utjecaj perzijske sufijske književnosti ne samo na bošnjačke autore na orijentalnim jezicima u okviru divanske poezije, nego i na autore novije i savremene književnosti. Taj se utjecaj može pratiti od najmanjeg motiva ili teme, stiha ili strofe, preko kraćih književnih vrsta, do cjelovitog i obimnijeg književnog djela. U ovom radu prezentiramo kako se taj orijentalno-islamski segment sačuvao i u onim vremenima kada je bošnjačka književnost preuzimala obrasce i poetike zapadnoevropske kulture, a to se prije svega odnosi na austrougarski period. Jedan od vodećih autora tog bošnjačkog preporoda (tranzicije) bio je svakako i Safvet-beg Bašagić. Pošto je po ličnom opredjeljenju, porijeklu, porodičnoj tradiciji ali i profesionalno bio vezan za orijentalne jezike i književnosti, nastojao je i u svom poetskom izrazu sačuvati te vrijednosti. Jedan od tih bisera Orijenta je svakako i sufijska književna tradicija, koja je u Bašagićevom pjesništvu ostavila značajan trag. Tako se u njegovim pjesmama pobožne i misaone tematike mogu prepoznati motivi sufijske poezije, između ostalog i kao odraz autorovog prevodilačkog i istraživačkog rada na korpusu velikih perzijskih klasika i bošnjačkih autora koji su pisali na orijentalnim jezicima, ali i njegovih književnih opredjeljenja.

PIONIRSKO DJELO U STRUČNOJ LITERATURI O RADU ODGAJATELJA U MEDRESAMA

Author(s): Zubejda Gobeljić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 2/2015

Priručnik za rad odgajatelja u medresama prvijenac je na našim prostorima u literaturi iz oblasti odgajateljskog rada u medresama. To je ozbiljan autorski poduhvat dviju iskusnih odgajateljica Behram-begove medrese, Merzije Kasumović i Edine Tokić, i predstavlja njihov doprinos definiranju aktivnosti odgajatelja u radu s učenicima u vannastavnom periodu u internatu i školi. Priručnik je značajan utoliko što objedinjuje bogata iskustva odgajateljica u radu s najvažnijom i najranjivijom populacijom našega društva, adolescentima, koji u periodu odrastanja i sazrijevanja u medresama prolaze različite fizičke, psihološke, duhovne i emocionalne promjene. S obzirom na to, odgajatelj u odgojno-obrazovnom procesu treba da bude osoba širokih pogleda i svestranog obrazovanja, vrijedni baštovan koji svakodnevno marljivo i s velikom opreznošću pazi na cvjetove u svojoj bašči.

Veshja e mëndafshit mes të ndaluarës dhe të lejuarës

Author(s): Ilmije Kuçi / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 1/2024

The Almighty God has given many and great blessings to the sons of Adam, by including that of clothing. This, to protect them from heat and cold, as well as to be an ornament and a garment to cover their bodies, according to Allah’s saying in the Quran: ْ َ َ َُ ً َ ْ ِ ِ ُ ُ ْ ْ َ ʮ بني آدم قد أنزلْنا عليكم لباسا يـواري سواطكم ِ ِ ً وريشا َََ َ َ َ ْ َ َ ِ َ “O sons of Adam, We created for you garment that covers your modesty and a garment ornamental”. Therefore, man should preserve the prosperity that God Almighty has given him, by respecting the rules that come from Allah’s law. Islamic legislation allows men and women to adorn themselves, especially with clothing, but at the same time it has also made some restrictions, including the prohibition of some types of clothing for both men and women, and specifically some more just for men, always as a sign of devotion to the Almighty God. He allowed some things and forbade some others, not to limit the people, but to keep them within limits and order in the universe. This, because God Almighty is Wise in His commands and prohibitions. He does not command except what is in the interest of man, and He does not forbid except that which is harmful to them. The wisdom of these ordinances and prohibitions can be shown to His creatures or it may not appear to them. Therefore, the issue of clothing in Islam, meaning here that of women and men, is important in the legislation of Islam. Jurists have paid special attention to it by defining whole chapters for it it's rules. In the following, we will focus on clarifying the provision of mean wearing silk.

Islamic Rights or Human Rights: the Dilemma of the Islamic Republic of Iran

Author(s): Nina Kos / Language(s): English Issue: 2 (26)/2023

This article analyses the history of human rights in the Middle East, particularly Iran and its impact on fundamental human rights and freedoms. Islam is based on the concept of social justice and equality, which has been the factor most responsible for the religion’s widespread popularity and rapid spread among the population. The main objective of this article is to determine whether Islam and human rights are compatible. Iran, which, since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, has promised its citizens and the wider Shiite community that they will fight together against social and other injustices and to strengthen a common Shiite identity, is today the main culprit in the dismantling of the systems and values of statehood. The primary research question guiding this study is: Does Sharia prevail human rights in Iran? The conclusion of this article uses a study and expert opinion to assess the prospects for the long-term survival of the Islamic Republic of Iran, highlighting the human rights issues.

Muslimanska žena u urbanom prostoru: između tradicije, emancipacije i retradicionalizacije

Author(s): Belma Buljubašić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 51/2022

The aim of this research is to point out the changes that occurred in the behaviour patterns of Muslim women through three different generations. Although the research included 12 women and the results cannot be completely relevant, an effort was made to investigate the extent to which the processes of industrialization, urbanization and emancipation reflected on the lives of Muslim women in Sarajevo. Women who came to Sarajevo as adults, women who moved to Sarajevo as children, and women who were born in Sarajevo but whose grandmothers (and mothers) were born in the countryside, participated in the research. The results showed that each of the three interviewed groups has its own common characteristics. The insight into their attitude towards religion, tradition, the role of women in the private sphere and the place of women in society is particularly significant. In order to make the position of Muslim women and the changes that have occurred clearer to readers, the paper also presents a brief insight into the Muslim women’s issue in the 20th and 21st centuries.

BOSANSKOHERCEGOVAČKA PORODICA IZMEĐU POSLJEDICA AGRESIJE, TRADICIJE I MODERNOSTI

Author(s): Nezir Halilović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 16/2024

The paper examines the question of the status and role of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian family between the consequences of aggression, tradition and modernity. An overview of different definitions of the family, the role of the family in the construction of identity, and the functions of the family and its significance are presented. The results of theoretical considerations point to the fact that after the state of anomie (which can last for a very long time, Bosnia and Herzegovina is the best example), the state of CRISIS follows, i.e. a state of awareness, mobilization of individual and collective consciousness that one must overcome feelings of weakness and that there is no turning back. In all transitions, this is the most important moment, and it is expected that the Islamic community will make its maximum contribution in this state, with the aim of exiting the transition as successfully as possible and catching up with the modern world.

Към историята на арабската буква waw в турското изкуство (По материали от България и Турция)

Author(s): Lyubomir Mikov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2024

The paper examines examples of Ottoman calligraphical inscriptions including the Arabic letter waw. In Turkish art, these cases are represented by two types of calligraphic compositions: A) a calligram containing mirrored or symmetrically written two waws; B) a calligram containing one waw and one alif. Both types of calligrams were inspired by the doctrine of Sufism, and were introduced and spread by calligraphers professing Hurufism and Bektashism or sympathizing with these mystical currents in Turkish traditional culture. In conclusion, it is summarized that calligraphy has unlimited possibilities for turning Arabic letters both into highly specific artifacts and into a means of expressing very diverse religious views.

Goethe, die Romantik und die islamische Mystik im West-Ӧstlichen Divan

Author(s): Rosy Singh / Language(s): German Issue: 20/2023

This article examines the relationship of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to the Romantic ideals. Was he actually hostile to the Romantics as suggested by so many literary critics? His comment that Romanticism is "sick" vis-a-vis the "healthy" Classical period, is often quoted to prove his distance from the Romantics. However his late work West-Eastern Divan (1816) shows that the opposite was true. Some esoteric motifs in one of his well-known poems Selige Sehnsucht (Blessed Longing) from the Divan are presented here to establish Goethe's spiritual connection with Romanticism. The article also attempts to establish a connection between the mystical Islamic tradition i.e. Sufism and Romanticism.

The Muslims and the Byzantines Seen from Venice (from Muhammad to 1345), according to ‘Veniera Chronicles’ (I: From Muhammad to Doge Pietro Barbolano)

Author(s): Șerban V. Marin / Language(s): English Issue: 1-2/2022

The name of Cronaca Veniera has been adopted by various scholars when referring to three particular codices, that is M 1568 and M 791, preserved at Marciana National Library in Venice, and von Ranke 69 from Syracuse University Library, New York. For the former two of them, the basis for this ascription has probably been represented by the two Marcian former catalogues, by both that of the codices’ class (“Ital. VII.” catalogue, for M 1568) and that on topics (“Soggetti Veneti” catalogue, for M 791 and M 1568). As for the codex at Syracuse University, the reason for this ascription has originated in one of the two inscriptions on the front page, ascribed to Leopold von Ranke himself, with the following mention: “Dalle citationi del Foscarini si ricava indubitam(ente) che questa è la cronaca chiamata Venier.”
