Sufism Annotated Bibliography and Research Proposal

Research proposal

The research is made to analyze the concept of Sufism in Islam. The difference between their teaching and believes from the traditional teaching of Islam. Mulana’s and other scholars are capable of spreading the teaching of God after a proper education of Islam. On the other hand, Sufism is free from this kind of training. They present the message of God by personalizing the transcendental divine. Therefore it is essential to study the concept of Sufism.

Also, the discussion will highlight the contrast between the concept of Sufism and traditional source of knowledge that is Quran and Hadiths.

Literature Review

Shah‐Kazemi, Reza. "The Notion and Significance of Ma‘rifa in Sufism." Journal of Islamic Studies 13.2 (2002): 155-81

In this article, Kazemi explained the term Ma’rifa in Sufism. This term is not written in the Quran. Ilm is the word used for knowledge. In Sufism, Ma’rifa is used to contrast between knowledge and spiritual knowledge. He concluded that Ma’rifa is the combination of tashbih (closeness) and tehzib (culture). Ma’rifa can be achieved only when a person devotes his life and create his existence with a transformed awareness. They are considered to possess a superior plenitude than the people who remain in the state of searching for the reality of God.

Wilcox, Andrew. "The Dual Mystical Concepts of Fanā’ and Baqā’ in Early Sūfism." British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies 38.1 (2011): 95-118

In this article, Wilcox discussed the understanding of dual concepts of fana and baqa according to the early Sufism. The author explained that the dual concept of fana and baqa came from the “tawhid” concept. Fana is to die in God while baqa is qualities given by God for the existence of the self-sacrificing divine. According to Bayazid, fana, and baqa are the names of spending whole life for the contemplation of tawhid. Junayd’s concept is more evident, concerning the interdependence of the spiritual states of both concepts. This concept is present in other religion as well which include Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, and Christianity.

Buturovic, Amila. “Spiritual Empowerment Through Spiritual Submission: Sufi Women and Their Quest for God.” Canadian Woman Studies, vol. 17, no. 1, Jan. 1997.

In this article, the author explained the main concept of Sufism. Sufism emerged as a movement. These people emphasized the teaching of Islam beyond the explicit rules of the Quran and Hadiths. They provided the alternative for spiritual empowerment of Muslim women. Women drew their spiritual ancestry to the daughters and wives of the last Prophet Muhammad PBUH. Sufis provided Islamic laws and knowledge through personalizing the inspirational divine. Sufism allowed the people to preach and learn for personal interaction with the divine knowledge of the Quran.
