The proliferation of Sufi orders in the greater Durban area.Isaacs, Zoraida. January 2006 (has links)
The primary focus of this dissertation is to examine the proliferation of the Sufi Orders in the Durban area. The popularity of tasawwuf, (Islamic Spirituality) appears to be on the increase as manifested by the increase in the membership of the more established Sufi Orders as well as an increase in the emergence of new Sufi Orders. This study reviews the history, nature, characteristics and activities of the Sufi groups, and documents their growth over the last ten - twelve years. It also focuses on the reasons which could possibly account for such an increase and it asks the question "What motivates individuals to gravitate to Sufi Orders and groups?" / Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2006.

'God does not regard your forms' : gender and literary representation in the works of Farīd al-Dīn 'Aṭṭār NīshāpūrīQuay, Michelle Marie January 2018 (has links)
Studies on gender in medieval and modern Sufism have tended to posit two extremes: Sufism as an oasis for women, away from the strictures of ‘orthodoxy,’ or Sufism as a haven for misogynistic views of women as temptations, distractions, and necessary evils. However, these simplistic characterisations cannot encompass the full range of the evidence, as we find many positive representations of women, and indeed female saints, alongside brutal anti-woman declarations. This study attempts to nuance these prevailing characterisations of medieval depictions of gender by providing further evidence of Sufi attitudes towards women and femininity. It does so via a comprehensive consideration of a prominent Persian Sufi poet, Farīd al-Dīn ‘Aṭṭār, in the context of select Persian and Arabic hagiographies, Qur’an commentaries, and qiṣaṣ al-anbiyā’. Analysis of the material reviewed suggests that gender representations are not fixed, even within the work of a single author. I argue that these texts exhibit a striking disconnect between their conceptions of ‘woman’ as a category and the depiction of narrative women, especially Sufi women. I suggest that this tendency reflects a Sufi philosophy of gender-egalitarianism and that philosophy’s inherent conflict with predominant social hierarchies of the medieval Islamicate context. This study shows the utility of engaging the classical Islamic tradition with contemporary theory surrounding gender and identity, including corporeality theory and intersectionality theory. It also employs more traditional formalist literary critiques using the lenses of defamiliarisation and paradox/apophasis. Ultimately, this research reveals the need for careful, critical studies of medieval views on gender, and contributes to the bodies of literature on Islamicate sexualities and the construction of sainthood in Islam.

Sacred Spaces and Expressive Bodies: At the Urs of Lal Shahbaz QalandarMokhtar, Shehram 11 July 2013 (has links)
The shrine of Sufi saint Lal Shahbaz Qalandar is located in the rural city of Sehwan in Sindh, Pakistan. Sehwan is a site of pilgrimage for thousands of devotees at the annual festival known as urs, spanning three days to commemorate the death anniversary of the saint. Men, women, and transgender participants engage in many rituals at the urs among which the prominent is devotional dancing called dhamaal. This thesis project relates sacredness of spaces and hyper-reality of the festival with the performances of rituals that involve diverse publics. At the urs and otherwise, the shrine space provides devotees, largely poor, a collective non-verbal expression in the form of dhamaal. Dhamaal gives expression to the body in a society that does not normally encourage such expressions in the public sphere. This thesis argues that the Sufi discourse in Sehwan makes the body of a devotee an expressive body.

Idries Shah as a mediator of Sufism to the West : a study in intercultural communicationSitki, Hatice, n/a January 1994 (has links)
The thesis first summarises the history and main ideas of Sufism. It then
examines the reception, mainly favourable, of Shah's representation of
Sufism particulary in the West, and, finally, attempts to analyse and explain
his methodology.
It is not the aim of this thesis to examine the complete works of Idries Shah.
Rather, by studying a number of his texts I have endeavoured to emphasise
Shah's role as a pontifex between Islam and the West. As well as placing Shah
within the complicated realm of Sufi thought, I have examined in some
detail the methods by which he has played this role. The aspect of Shah that I
have focused upon is that of the populariser and explicator of Sufism. For
Shah the subject of Sufism is not one confined to academic study. It is a way
of knowing related to everyday life and particularly relevant to the needs of
the West at a time when the Western world is experiencing emotional and
spiritual bankruptcy. Shah resembles the deconstructionist theorists in that
he sees the limits of the language on which the West has relied for so long.
But, even though his method is similar to theirs, he differs from them in that
for him there is another realm of knowledge beyond language.
I have quoted extensively from the stories Shah uses in order to demonstrate
the ideas and images he thinks are relevant to an understanding of Sufism
for the West, and I have used reviews and comments from audiences in both
East and West in order to demonstrate what those audiences think of what
Shah is attempting to do. This thesis examines the pedagogical techniques
employed in this process. The applicablity of deconstruction theory to Sufi
teaching is considered.
