"Boss, you're not worried, are you?" Ah San obviously didn't believe his eyes and ears.

"What do you mean, I have never knelt for so long since I was a child. When I used to go to the temple with my grandma to burn incense, at least I had a mat. Look at the stones here, and I was afraid of breaking your rules. In the end, I was unlucky.

It could be me." It's scary even for me to say it.

Xiao Ai was too lazy to look at me, so he got up and went to look at the scenery. Ah San pulled me up hard. Then he patted the dirt on my knees and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, boss. I

When I came here, I just thought about worshiping and forgot about your existence. Sometimes we are like this. Only by praying sincerely will Allah give us eternal protection."

I tried to bend my knees twice, but it seemed to be no big deal. Then I noticed something was wrong in Ah San's words: "Allah? Isn't this a Hindu temple?" I asked.

"No, boss, this is the temple of the Islamic Sufi saint Kumar Ali Darvich. According to legend, the reason why these two stones can be levitated is because he can feel our devout faith.

, uses his magical power to tell us that as long as we follow the direction he guides, we will definitely find the light." Ah San told me patiently.

"Damn, I always thought this was the territory of Hinduism, but there is also Islam." But after thinking about it carefully, Brother Peng told me before that although Buddhism originated in India, there are not many believers in India.

Even ranked below the foreign Islam.

"Many outsiders will misunderstand it. There are still many people who think that Buddhism is the largest religion in India. No one would have thought that Buddhism can only be ranked third here." Asan said.

"What do you mean by the Sufi sect you just mentioned?" Xiao Ai didn't know when he got involved again.

"Actually, I'm not sure what the boundaries of Sufism are. This sect is one of the most mysterious among all Islamic sects. Some people say it's because the original believers were all wearing coarse woolen clothes.

That is, Sufi means Suf, and saf means wool, which shows her devout faith and poverty and simplicity in life. The name Sufi really comes from an ascetic named Abu Hashem, who used it

He called one of his friends, the well-known alchemist Jabir bin Hayan at the time. In the middle of the ninth century, the name Sufi officially appeared in Arabic literature. In the 11th century, al-Ghazali introduced the ascetic asceticism among Muslims.

Those who believe in this sect are commonly known as "Sufis". Arab Islamic scholars call members of this sect "mutasawwif" (Sufi family). In 1821, the French Orientalist Tolock named the sect "Sufism".

School. Chinese Islamic scholars translate it as "Sufi knowledge." Ah San is just like a Sufi believer.

Sufism emerged in places such as Kufa and Basra during the rule of the Umayyad dynasty in the late 7th and early 8th centuries. It was the product of Muslim pious beliefs and religious enthusiasm. Early Sufism opposed the Umayyad dynasty and the Abbasid dynasty.

Corruption and extravagance, advocating a personal practice style characterized by piety, frugality, poverty, asceticism and asceticism. They strictly abide by the scriptures, teachings and religious lessons, imitating the simple life of the Prophet Muhammad and his disciples in their early years to express their respect for Umayyad

They protested against the corrupt and extravagant behavior of the dynasty and the Abbasid dynasty and sought inner purity and spiritual comfort. Early Sufis wore coarse woolen woven clothes and were not greedy for worldly material enjoyment. They focused on personal religious practice, were pure in desire, and meditated.

They chanted sutras, prayed, fasted and meditated for a long time, went on pilgrimage on foot, lived in seclusion and practiced alone, or became monks and roamed around, preaching along the way, and relying on others' charity and personal labor to make a living. The main representative of early Sufis was Hasan Bus of Kufa.

Here, Ibrahim bin Azam of Balih, Merlouf Kelhe of Baghdad, etc. Later, the sect gradually spread to Syria, Hijaz, Yemen, Egypt and Persia, and in some places

It is practiced by scholars and lower-class Muslims, but is regarded as "heresy" by the authorities and Sunni theologians.

Since the late 8th century, Sufism has gradually developed from asceticism to mysticism, and appeared in the form of religious theory. During the Abbasid Dynasty, with the rise of the translation movement, various philosophies and philosophies in ancient Greece, Persia, and India Religious thought has penetrated into Islam, among which the practice theories of Neoplatonism and Indian Yoga School have a great influence on the formation of Sufism mysticism. Scholars of this sect are based on certain verses of the Quran and absorb various external sources. Thoughts, writing books and theories, expounding its doctrines and practices with mystical philosophy, and proposing theosophy, pantheism and the theory of unity with God as its core, forming a kind of Sufism that is a mixture of various theories. At the end of the 8th century, represented by the female mystic Rabir Adwaya, she put forward the idea of ​​mysterious love for God, believing that Allah is the object of eternal love. The most important essence of the human soul is love. Love can make people live in harmony with each other. Drawing people closer. The path that leads people to Allah is undivided love, not fear, nor hope. The greatest happiness in life is to become one with Allah.

In the middle of the 9th century, Abu Suleiman Darani proposed the idea of ​​recognizing God through mystical intuition. He believed that people’s understanding of Allah is a mysterious intuition obtained by the flash of one’s soul, rather than Through reason and accepted hadith, the post-Egyptian ascetic Zonun al-Misri proposed the concept of theosophy (ma'rifah), which perfected Sufi teachings. Zonun al-Misri believed that the purpose of life is Finally becoming one with Allah. Only through meditation, concentrating on Allah, and integrating one's pure soul with the spiritual light of Allah can one truly know Allah. There is no other way. Next , represented by the Persian mystic Bistami, also proposed the pantheistic view of "wahdatatal-wujud", believing that the ontology of Allah encompasses all things, and that all things belong to the one and only Allah. Human beings Through different stages of practice, one reaches the highest spiritual state of "selflessness" (fana'), and is finally absorbed by Allah and becomes one with Allah.

Starting from the late 9th century, Sufi scholars who followed Sunni teachings tried to harmonize Sufi teachings with orthodox beliefs, gradually developing Sufi mysticism into an integral part of orthodox teachings. In order to maintain the unity of Islamic beliefs, Famous Sufi scholars such as Muhasibi, Haraz, Junaid, Karabaki, Sarraj, Hujvili and Kusayili sought theoretical basis for mysticism from the Quran and Hadith, using Sunni teachings and legal views systematically explain Sufi learning and practice methods, advocate the doctrine of one God, oppose the heretical words and deeds of early Sufis who departed from the basic Islamic beliefs, and propose that Muslims should follow the teachings and perform religious duties on the basis of He is engaged in Taoyana practice, and it is appropriate to call Sufism the true orthodox sect of Islam.

At the beginning of the 10th century, the famous Persian Sufi scholar Harazh put forward the idea of ​​"Human Master Hun". He wrote in a poem: "I am what I love, and what I love is me; spirits are divided into each other, and they live in the same place." When you see me, you will see him, and when you see him, you will see me." Because he claimed "I am the truth", he was sentenced to death by the Abbasid religious court and became a famous martyr of Sufism. From then on, Sufism was persecuted by the authorities. During this period, although the theory of Sufi mysticism had been formed, it had complex ideas and different views, and did not form a unified doctrine and organizational form. From the end of the 10th century, the sect centered on Iraq and Syria, and gradually spread in North Africa. Spain, Persia, Central Asia and the South Asian subcontinent were widely spread and developed.

At the end of the 11th century, the authoritative Islamic theologian Al-Ghazali comprehensively summarized the views of Sufism and incorporated the mystical love of God, intuitive epistemology and the idea of ​​unity between man and Lord into the orthodox Islamic faith, abandoning Sufism's disregard for fulfillment.

The teachings of religious lessons and pantheism became the final theoretical form of Islamic theology and were officially accepted.

In the 13th century, the Spanish mystical philosopher Ibn Arabi developed Sufi mysticism into a pantheistic philosophical system of thought with "the theory of unity of all things" as its core, giving mysticism a philosophical and speculative nature. During this period, Sufi mysticism

The Filipino sect is very active in the field of Islamic thought and culture, with the emergence of Abdul Qadir Gilani, Yahya Suhrawardi, Ibn Attar, Ibn Farid, Ru

Famous thinkers and poets such as Mi, Saadi, Hafiz, Naqshbandi, and Jami made great contributions in the fields of dogma, exegesis, hadith, jurisprudence, ethics, literature, poetry and other fields.

His contribution and reputation led to the development of Sufism as a literary and ideological movement, which had a profound influence in the Islamic world.

I remembered that the information Brother Peng gave me before seemed to have some content about Sufism, but at that time I saw that he thought these things were deviated from what we were tracking, so I just asked me to read them as some extracurricular readings.

That's it. Naturally, I didn't study it too seriously. Now it seems that once any organization puts on a mysterious cloak, there will definitely be some horrifying stories to be hidden inside.

Asan introduced that Kumar Ali Darvich was the first believer of Sufi Islam in India in the 10th century. It was he who opened a new chapter in the Islamic world on the South Asian subcontinent. He prayed for the locals and received blessings from Allah.

Thanks to his blessing, the people here can enjoy today’s civilization and wealth.

His legend is even more magical. It is said that since he followed the Arab who spread Sufi teachings to India, he has seen Allah with his own eyes, and Allah has secretly assigned him a mission. This is all Sufi

There is nothing we can investigate whether the rumors circulated among insiders are actually true.
