Book Description
This is a very old book written about the advice and discourses (speeches) of Khaja Naqshaband in the Urdu language. Its title is well known in the Urdu language as Malfufzat Khaja Naqshaband. And which was compiled by Syed Abdul Wadud Shah in the Urdu language and I have translated this book of the most ancient and celebrated Persian book about Sufi'ism into the English language will, I hope, be found useful not only by the number of students familiar with the subject at first hand but also by many readers. This is a very old book in which there are advises and instructions, especially available for Taleb (student) and it refers to a person who is committed to a Murshid (spiritual master) in a Tariqa (spiritual path) of Sufism and it is also known as a Salik (Arabic: سَالِك), a mureed is an initiate into the mystic philosophy of Sufism and all these details of pieces of advice by the spiritual master Khaja Bahauddin Naqshband are added in this book and also in this book there are some great achievements which are not yet known to the general person are published in a very interesting style so for this reason the readers will find great interest and attention in this matter. Hadrat Baha-ud-Din Naqshband Bukhari (Persian: بهاءالدین محمد نقشبند بخاری) (1318-1389) was the founder of what would become one of the largest and most influential Sufi Muslim orders, the Naqshbandi.Biography Hadrat Baha-ud-Din was born on 18 March 1318 CE (14 Muharram, 718 AH) in the village of Qasr-i-Hinduvan (later renamed Qasr-i Arifan) near Bukhara, in what is now Uzbekistan and it was there that he died in 1389. He came into early contact with the Khwajagan (the Masters), and was adopted as spiritual progeny by one of them, Baba Muhammad Sammasi, while still an infant. Sammasi was his first guide on the path, and more important was his relationship with Sammasi's principal Khalifa (successor), Amir Kulal, the last link in the silsila, or chain of teachers, before Khaja Baha-ud-Din. 1.Prophet Muhammad( peace be upon him)2.Hadrat Abu Bakr3.Hadrat Salman the Persian4.Hadrat Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr5.Hadrat Ja'far al-Sadiq6.Hadrat Bayazid Bistami7.Hadrat Abu al-Hassan al-Kharaqani8.Hadrat Abu Ali al-Farmadi9.Hadrat Yusuf Hamadani10.

Hadrat Baha'al-din Naqshband BukhariLineage In her book "Pain and Grace: A Study of Two Mystical Writers of Eighteenth-Century Muslim India," Annemarie Schimmel writes: "Khwaja Mir Dard`s family, like many nobles from Bukhara, led their pedigree back to Baha'uddin Naqshband, after whom the Naqshbandi order is named, and who was a descendant, in the 11th generation, of the 11th Imam al-Hasan al-Askari." Hadrat Baha-ud-Din was buried in his native village, Qasr-i Arifan, in 1389. In 1544 Khan Abd al-Aziz built over his grave a tomb and surrounding buildings. The Memorial complex is located 12 kilometers from Bukhara and is today a place of pilgrimage. His well known and famous sayings are as follows. I answered, "In order that whatever I say and whatever I want will happen."I was answered, "That will not be. Whatever We say and whatever We want is what will happen."I said, "I cannot do that. I must be permitted to say and to do whatever I like, or I do not want this Way."

The Empires of the Near East and India
Author: Hani Khafipour
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231547846
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1103
Book Description
In the early modern world, the Safavid, Ottoman, and Mughal empires sprawled across a vast swath of the earth, stretching from the Himalayas to the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. The diverse and overlapping literate communities that flourished in these three empires left a lasting legacy on the political, religious, and cultural landscape of the Near East and India. This volume is a comprehensive sourcebook of newly translated texts that shed light on the intertwined histories and cultures of these communities, presenting a wide range of source material spanning literature, philosophy, religion, politics, mysticism, and visual art in thematically organized chapters. Scholarly essays by leading researchers provide historical context for closer analyses of a lesser-known era and a framework for further research and debate. The volume aims to provide a new model for the study and teaching of the region’s early modern history that stands in contrast to the prevailing trend of examining this interconnected past in isolation.

The Masters of Wisdom
Author: J. Bennett
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781720853787
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
"The Masters of Wisdom" is the last book to have been published during the John Bennett's lifetime, and is probably the most unusual, having little in common with his previously published works, except in serving a number of discrete objectives. Originally planned to be incorporated into a single volume to be entitled "Gurdjieff and the Masters of Wisdom" this work was separated from what became "Gurdjieff: Making a New World" which eventually was published a year earlier in 1973. In the last years of Bennett's life, he had been deeply affected by his close association with the Turkish mystic, Hasan Lutfi Shushud, and originally a contract was drawn up with a London publishing house for the combined work, in which both men were signed as joint authors. However, before anything was written, Shushud abruptly withdrew his support for the project, ostensibly on the grounds of a disagreement with the publishers. Only after Bennett's death in 1974, Shushud indicated privately that he found Gurdjieff's teaching and methods offensive. There is however some overlap between the two books, and "The Masters of Wisdom" draws on Gurdjieff's resources as well as material provided by Hasan Shushud. "The Masters of Wisdom" is unlike Bennett's other books not only in the way it is constructed, which appears to be somewhat out of balance, but also in the content. The first three chapters provide an overview of material presented 8 years earlier in the fourth volume of "The Dramatic Universe", of the Earth as single intelligent whole, in which humanity plays an increasingly active role and - must accept greater responsibility. These chapters provide an introduction to Chapter 4 which presents an account of the Christ Event not to be found anywhere else, and by Bennett's own account, arising out of insights vouchsafed to him privately by Gurdjieff. The next chapter serves as a bridge to the second major detailed message Bennett shares, which concerns the extraordinary period spanning at least 350 years, when a group of men within a single unbroken tradition played a pivotal and benign role in otherwise catastrophic events. It is not clear why Bennett devotes an entire chapter to Genghis Khan in a book entitled "The Masters of Wisdom" except that he appears to have been an exceptionally gifted individual whom Bennett apparently admired for his great self-control, and his willingness to accept guidance from a spiritual director. The researches Bennett completed in his last years led him to certain conclusions which may not have been fully expressed in this account. Unlike Bennett's other books, "The Masters of Wisdom" contains hidden messages, and also occult elements which are accessible to those able to access them. "Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson" and "The Dramatic Universe" showed the transformative power of books, but like "Meetings with Remarkable Men" this book imparts information which remains hidden except from those readers who find the key. The book is also unlike any of Bennett's other books in containing secret "magic" elements, opening mystical channels. Since the text was left unfinished when Bennett died, it is not possible to know for certain whether the message of the book is complete or would have included other material such as the very detailed accounts that Bennett gave to his student in the last months - the "esoteric phase" - of the Third Basic Course. Overall the message is of the planet we inhabit seen as a single indivisible whole, of which we human beings are an important element, but which is subordinate to the Cosmic forces.

Book Description
Ibn Taymiyya (1263–1328) of Damascus was one of the most prominent and controversial religious scholars of medieval Islam. He called for jihad against the Mongol invaders of Syria, appealed to the foundational sources of Islam for reform, and battled against religious innovation. Today, he inspires such diverse movements as Global Salafism, Islamic revivalism and modernism, and violent jihadism. This volume synthesizes the latest research, discusses many little-known aspects of Ibn Taymiyya’s thought, and highlights the religious utilitarianism that pervades his activism, ethics, and theology.
