Beauty in Sufism: The Teachings of Rῡzbihān Baqlī

Kazuyo Murata

4.9/5 (25661 ratings)

Description:According to Muhammad, God is beautiful and He loves beauty. Yet, Islam is rarely associated with beauty, and today, a politicized Islam dominates many perceptions. This work tells a forgotten story of beauty in Islam through the writings of celebrated but little-studied Sufi scholar and saint R zbih n Baql (1128 1209). R zbih n argued that the pursuit of beauty in the world and in oneself was the goal of Muslim life. One should become beautiful in imitation of God and reclaim the innate human nature created in God s beautiful image. R zbih n s theory of beauty is little known, largely because of his convoluted style and eccentric terminology in both Persian and Arabic. In this book, Kazuyo Murata revives R zbih n s ideas for modern readers. She provides an overview of Muslim discourse on beauty before R zbih n s time; an analysis of key terms related to beauty in the Qur n, ad th, and in R zbih n s writings; a reconstruction of R zbih n s understanding of divine, cosmic, and human beauty; and a discussion of what he regards as the pinnacle of beauty in creation, the prophets, especially Adam, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and Muhammad."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
