Book Description
Most of the stories in this book are joyful, staunch and uplifting reaching for the softer corners of the reader’s heart. From the paraplegic who found love in the whispers of the gulmohar tree; to the young widow torn between the drums of tradition and the sweet, hopeful beat of maternal love and compassion; to the woman who regularly traverses the full glimmering sweep of her inner world; to the case of the cheating spouse that will make Hercule Poirot untwirl his moustache in awe; to one of the good days of a man in the curiously tender grasp of dementia, One Flew Over The Bulbul’s Nest will take you down poignant and memorable lanes of love, loss and triumph. Some of the other stories are raw and defiant dealing with the thorny themes of devoutness, tradition and empowerment. From the girl who falls pregnant in the home where she grew up; to a faithful’s soul-searching dialogue with the devil; to the flashback account of a childhood cut short by the trusted family retainer. The Glimmer was longlisted in the 2023 Zeenat Haroon Rashid Writing Competition for women. Ravaged has been selected as part of an American academic publication, Sing, Slivered Tongue: An Anthology of South Asian Women’s Poetry of Trauma.

Sufism in Eighteenth-Century India
Author: Neda Saghaee
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000771849
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Sufism in Eighteenth-Century India focuses on one particular treasure from surviving Persian manuscripts in India, Nāla-yi ʿAndalīb, written by Muḥammad Nāṣir ʿAndalīb (d. 1759), a Naqshbandī Mujaddidī mystical thinker. It explores the convergence and interrelation of the text with its context to find how ʿAndalīb revisits the central role of the Prophet as the main protagonist in his allegorical love story with great attention to the circumstances of the Muslim community during the eighteenth century. The present volume elucidates ʿAndalīb’s Sufism calling for a return to the pristine form of Islam and the idealization of the first Muslim community. It considers his Ṭarīqa-yi Khāliṣ Muḥammadiyya as a derivation of the Ṭarīqa-yi Muḥammadiyya, which had an important role in promoting Islam. The book attempts to clarify and systematize all of the concepts which ʿAndalīb employs within the framework of the Khāliṣ Muḥammadiyya, such as the state of the nāṣir and the Khāliṣ Muḥammadī. It addresses controversial topics in religion, such as the struggles between Shiʿa and Sunni Muslims, and the controversies between Shuhūdīs and Wujūdīs. It illuminates two key personalities, Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq and ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib, and two types of relationships, the maʿiyya and ʿayniyya, with the spirituality of the Prophet. The book will be of interest to scholars and students interested in Islamic studies, Islamic mysticism, the intellectual history of Muslims in South Asia, the history of the Mughal Empire, Persian literature, studies of manuscripts, Islamic philosophy, comparative studies of religions, social studies, anthropology, and debates concerning the eighteenth century, such as the transition from pre-colonialism to colonialism and the origins of modernity in Islam.
