    Sunni, Shiite, and Sufi are three branches of Islam. The Shiite and Sunni’s were the first really major division of the Islamic religion. This division was the result of a political argument over who should precede Muhammed. Sunni’s name means tradition and they believed the legitimacy of the Orthodox caliphates, and based everything off those beliefs. Sunni’s believe that Muhammad did not designate a successor. Now Shiite’s get their name from the word Shia, which means faction. They believe that Muhammad did leave a successor and it was the son-in-law and cousin of Muhammad named, Ali. They do not believe the same thing as Sunnis and disagree and do not get along with them. Now Sufi’s are” a contemplative school of Islam that aims to develop an individual 's consciousness of God though chanting, recitation of litanies, music and physical movement (SCRUGGS, 2010, para. )” Sufis find the importance by approaching the inner meaning of god through mysticism. They want to find the hidden meanings of the world they do not read or follow the Qur’an as strictly and as a result have closer relationships to other religions (SCRUGGS,…

    The term Sufism is synonymous with various terms in Islamic tradition. Some of them are Ihsan (beautification of conduct), Qurb (approaching God), Tariqat (path- the journey unto God), Suluk (journey- unto God) and Tasawwuf (to wear woolen clothes- a trait of Sufis) (Ali, 1998). Simply put, Sufism can be defined as a process aimed at achieving spiritual peace and tranquility. It is a means to purify the senses and human will by the submission of one’s wishes and desires to the will of Allah. Moreover, it is…

    Finally, another explanation for why Sufism spread so widely in the Mamlūk period, is the consolidation of an institutionalised identity from the Sufi brotherhoods, most conspicuously the Shādhilīya order. Hoffer argues that the creation of an institutionalised Shādhilī identity was just as one of the many outcomes of the institutionalisation of Sufi philosophy and religious practice. It was these institutionalised creeds and religious activities which gave a sense of allurement to charismatic individuals and the equipment to allow Sufism to become feasible with society and daily live on a much grander scale. This is largely due to the Shādhilīya order being uniquely and fundamentally different from other Sufi orders; it did not require silsila for the sanctity of the eponym, nor special dress requirements such as the Sufi cloak (khirqa), additionally, the…

    Sufis desire to become close with God and achieve and enlightened form of consciousness within their current lifetime, and devote much of their life contemplating God. More traditional Muslims, however, view their lifetimes as means of proving themselves that they are worthy of spiritual reunification in the afterlife. Classifying the orthodox and non-traditional forms of Islam as exoteric and esoteric is helpful in distinguishing the purpose of each, while maintaining a common ground that allows Sufism to remain a part of Islam. Those who have a “genuine vocation for a Sufi path” are protected by the esoteric characterization to practice their faith without interfering with the “unambiguous principles” of traditional Islam. The exoteric and esoteric characterizations serve as describers, rather than dividers, that protect both forms from misinterpretation and uninformed…

    Maghazi Literature

    • 1861 Words
    • 8 Pages

    Arabic was chiefly a spoken language with an oral literature of elaborate poetry and, to a lesser extent, prose. It is certainly known that the revelation of Quran had an important impact on the development of the Arabic literature. In the pre-Islamic era, both poetry and prose dealt with a restricted range of topics; however with the rise of Islam and the revelation of Quran, the range of topics had expanded dramatically to encourage for developments in prose and poetry. In this paper, I provide a historical overview about the development of the Maghazi literature in Islamic prose between the first/seventh century and second/eighth century. This paper also discusses the different styles and characteristics in a comparison context between three of the most recognized compilers of maghazi in the Islamic prose; Musa b. ‘Uqba, Ibn Ishaq, and al-Waqidi. It also discusses the different issues which exist in this genre of literature.…
