Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume is the first to focus specifically on esoteric interpretation as a phenomenon in the field of Qur'anic exegesis and to show the plurality of ways it has been manifested in different Muslim traditions. Concern with the inner, spiritual implications of the Qur'an has usually been associated with mystical and Sufi trends in Islam. However, there have also been exegetes among the Shi'a, as well as among philosophers, who sought to supplement their understanding of the Qur'an's apparent meaning by eliciting deeper significations through contemplation of the verses. The Spirit and the Letter examines the multiplicity of these esoteric approaches, covering a period that extends from the third/ninth century to the present. It includes chapters on philosophical and Shi'i exegetes, such as Ibn S¿n¿ (d. 428/1037) and Mull¿ ¿adr¿ (d. 1045/1635-6), in addition to studies of a range of Sufi perspectives, from al-Sulam¿ (d. 412/1021) and al-Qushayr¿ (d. 465/1072) to R¿zbih¿n Baql¿ (d. 606/1209), as well as representatives of the Ibn 'Arab¿ and Kubr¿w¿ schools. Considered together, the range of studies in this volume enable us to see what these approaches have in common and how they differ, and how the hermeneutics and content of exegesis are affected by doctrinal and ideological perspectives of various traditions and periods. Furthermore, they deepen our understanding of what actually constitutes esoteric interpretation and the need to look beyond the letter to the spirit of the Qur'anic word.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Abu Yazid al-Bas?ami (d. ca 234/848), popularly known as 'Bayazid', remains one of the most celebrated yet controversial figures in the history of Islamic mysticism. This in-depth study of his life and teachings is based on the earliest available sources. The book sets out in detail what is known of Bayazid's family, his education, his disciples and associates. It explores the distinctive rhetoric that has made some of his sayings so memorable, and shows how his mode of expression adds a sense of urgency, often drama, to quite conventional doctrines of Sufism. Through the varied corpus of his sayings, this study traces Bayazid's teachings concerning many aspects of the mystical path, as well as his reflections on God, the Prophet, heaven and hell. Having considered his role as spiritual master, his favourable view of women and his place in the wider community, the study then turns to the controversial side of Bayazid: his apparently blasphemous utterances, and his so-called mi?raj. The book goes on to explore how the two seemingly contradictory sides to Bayazid might be reconciled, and finally, provides a brief survey of the extent of his influence on later Sufism and its literature.…
