Sufi Commentary on the Tao Te Ching

Sufi Commentary on the Tao Te Ching

Seyyed Hossein Nasr

Fons Vitae
2025
Nidottu
In 1974, the oldest copy of Lao Tzu s Tao Te Ching was unearthed at Xi an along with the ceramic warriors guarding the tomb of the first Chinese Emperor Qin Shi Huang. By 1979, Professor Toshihiko Izutsu the Japanese Islamicist, philosopher and linguist collaborated in Tehran with Seyyed Hossein Nasr to translate this treasure into English. Dr. Nasr went on to put it into Persian adding a Sufi commentary which was recently published in Iran. This has now been translated into English with annotations by Mohammad H. Faghfoory. Imagine having a foundational world scripture like the Tao Te Ching explained by such a renowned Sufi scholar and internationally recognized spiritual authority as Dr. Syed H. Nasr. Passages whose subtleties are normally inaccessible to the Western mind become clear. Through Dr. Nasr s insightful use of verses from such Persian luminaries as Rumi, Hafiz, and Attar, the reader is introduced to the world behind this world. The scholar recognized as the Father of World Religions , Huston Smith, refers to the Tao Te Ching as a Testament to humanity s at-home-ness in the universe, [which] can be read in half an hour or a lifetime .

The Qur'an in Islam

The Qur'an in Islam

Allama Sayyid Mh Tabatabai; Seyyed Hossein Nasr

Zahra Publications
2024
pokkari
Allamah Sayyid M. H. Tabataba i shows in this gem how the Qur'an contains the fundamental roots of Islam and the proof of prophethood as the Word of God. Copious quotations from the Qur'an are given to illustrate its teachings, its exoteric and esoteric dimensions and the meaning of exegesis. From a general discussion of the Holy Qur'an essential relevance to humanity, stressing God's guidance of all His creatures toward happiness and well-being, the author proceeds to show how the Qur'an contains the fundamental roots of Islam and the proof of prophethood as the Word of God. Copious quotations from the Qur'an are given to illustrate its teachings, its exoteric and esoteric dimensions and the meaning of exegesis. The eternal validity of Qur'anic revelation is examined in depth, together with the attitudes of both Muslim and non-Muslim writers to the questions of Revelation and Prophethood. The relationship of the Qur'an to the sciences shows to what extent it encourages us to study all manner of natural and physical sciences, as well as philosophy, literature and every available branch of knowledge. The book closes with a brief description of how the Qur'an has come down to us. "The Qur'an in Islam"should be read now more than ever before because the current aberrations propagated in the name of Islam in general and Shi ism in particular necessitate the uncompromising and clear statement of the traditional Islamic perspective as expounded by such masters as Allamah Tabataba i. Moreover, the present book marks an important addition to the literature in English on the central theophany of Islam, the Noble Qur'an."

In Search of the Sacred

Seyyed Hossein Nasr; Ramin Jahanbegloo

Praeger Publishers Inc
2010
sidottu
In this book, a series of interviews offers an accessible, revealing, human and intellectual biography of leading Islamic scholar Seyyed Hossein Nasr.

Based on a series of interviews, the book combines traditional autobiography with an exploration of the intellectual and spiritual trajectories of the author's thought during key periods of his life. In doing so, it presents a fascinating panorama, not only of the life and ideas of one man, but also of major events ranging from intellectual life in Iran during the Pahlavi period and the Iranian Revolution to some of the major religious and intellectual debates between Islam and modernism. Nasr writes that his "whole life has been a quest for the sacred." This work connects that quest with some of the most important issues of the day in encounters between Islam and the West.

Rumi's Mystical Design

Rumi's Mystical Design

Seyed Ghahreman Safavi; Simon Weightman; Seyyed Hossein Nasr

State University of New York Press
2009
sidottu
Reveals the sophisticated design of Rumi's Mathnawi, showing that this seemingly unstructured work both describes and functions as spiritual training. This landmark book reveals the structure of Rumi's thirteenth-century classic, the Mathnawi. A beloved collection of 25,000 picturesque, alliterative verses full of anecdotes and parables on what appear to be loosely connected themes, the Mathnawi presents itself as spontaneous and unplanned. However, as Seyed Ghahreman Safavi and Simon Weightman demonstrate, the work has a sophisticated design that deliberately hides the spiritual so that readers, as seekers, have to find it for themselves-it is not only about spiritual training, it is spiritual training. Along with a full synoptic reading of the whole of Book One, the authors provide material on Rumi's life, his religious position, and his literary antecedents. Safavi and Weightman have provided readers, students, and scholars with a valuable resource: the guide that they wished they had had prior to their own reading of this great spiritual classic.

The Garden of Truth

The Garden of Truth

Seyyed Hossein Nasr

HarperOne
2008
nidottu
Sufism has made significant contributions to the spread of Islam and the development of various aspects of Islamic civilisation. Many conservative Muslims disagree with many popular Sufi practices, particularly saint worship, the visiting of tombs, and the incorporation of non-Islamic customs. Consequently, in recent centuries Sufism has been a target for Islamic reformist and modernist movements. Nasr is the preeminent Sufi scholar in the U. S., and in the tradition of Martin Buber's I and Thou, here provides the beliefs and vision of the mystical heart of Islam. A gentle anitdote to the extremist Muslim fundamentalists who capture the headlines and taint our perception of the world's fastest growing religion.

The second part examines the divisions of the Islamic community with their distinctive pieties and emphases: Sunnism and Shi’ism and female spirituality. Part III is devoted to Sufism – its nature and origin, its early development, its various spiritual practices and its science of the soul.
