42. A Survey Of Sufi Music : Its Geographical Distribution And Marketability A detailed survey of sufi Music,its geographical distribution and marketability. Also contains many online bibliographic references. http://www.musicjournal.org/01sufi.html

"A Survey of Sufi Music: Its Geographical Distribution and Marketability" by Robert Poole Music Industry Freelance Writer, Traveller and Photographer Swindon, Wilts., U.K. June, 2001 The increasing interest of Western cultures in music from all corners of the globe - the so-called 'world music' genre of recent years - helped bring the message of an ultra-orthodox religion to global dance floors in the early 1990s, outraging fundamentalists, but enthralling new audiences of potential converts to such music. Today, Islam's Sufi music has gained a foothold in the world marketplace, but, some would say, at the intolerably heavy price of becoming detached from its original religious and mystical purpose. The following major, extended survey of Sufi music attempts to document, in summary form, the variety of Sufi music throughout the world, together with information on its origins and potential marketability in terms of recordings. The comprehensive bibliography and select discography, which complete the article, form important resources in their own right. Introduction: Sufi Music and the Rise of Qawwali in the West WHEN Peter Gabriel launched RealWorld Records in 1989, his vision was to give musicians an opportunity to have their work available globally, and for listeners to be introduced to many new 'world music' forms. Yet even he, perhaps, could not have envisaged the influence this label would have in making household names of unlikely stars. One of these musicians was Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - a Pakistani singer of Qawwali (the music of devotional Sufism) - who was, although unknown in the West, already a superstar in his home country.

47. Living Presence, By Kabir Helminski (Excerpt) Living Presence, by Kabir Helminski (Jeremy Tarcher, 1993; available from Threshold Books) http://www.sufism.org/books/livinex.html

Available from Threshold Books Published by Jeremy Tarcher, Inc. An excerpt from Living Presence A Sufi Way to Mindfulness Kabir Edmund Helminski What Sufism Is S ufism is a way of life in which a deeper identity is discovered and lived. This deeper identity, beyond the already known personality, is in harmony with all that exists. This deeper identity, or essential self, has abilities of awareness, action, creativity and love that are far beyond the abilities of the superficial personality. Eventually it is understood that these abilities belong to a greater life and being which we individualize in our own unique way while never being separate from it. Sufism is less a doctrine or a belief system than an experience and way of life. It is a tradition of enlightenment that carries the essential truth forward through time. Tradition, however, must be conceived in a vital and dynamic sense. Its expression must not remain limited to the religious and cultural forms of the past. The truth of Sufism requires reformulation and fresh expression in every age. Reformulation does not mean that Sufism will compromise its challenge to a stubbornly materialistic society. It is and will remain a critic of "worldliness" by which it is meant everything that causes us to be forgetful of the Divine reality. It is and must be a way out of the labyrinth of a secular, commercial culture. Most importantly, however, it is an invitation to meaningfulness and well-being.

51. A Sufi Response To Political Islamism: Al-ahbash Of Lebanon Investigates roots and consequences of the controversies between sufism and its legalist detractors. http://almashriq.hiof.no/ddc/projects/pspa/al-ahbash.html

This article was first published in the International Journal of Middle East Studies 28 (1996), 217-229. A. Nizar Hamzeh and R. Hrair Dekmejian A SUFI RESPONSE TO POLITICAL ISLAMISM: AL-AHBASH OF LEBANON The rise and spread of Islamist political movements have been topics of focal concern for scholars and analysts in recent decades. Since Richard Mitchell's seminal work on the Muslim Brotherhood, a plethora of writers have analyzed the attributes of both Sunni and Shi'a revivalist movements and the policies of Arab regimes and the West toward the Islamist phenomenon. Yet scant attention has been paid to the reactions generated within the larger Islamic community toward the Islamist groups and their militant offshoots. One such unnoticed source of reaction to political Islamism is the nebulous confraternity of Sufi orders ( turuq ) whose mysticism and esoteric beliefs and practices have set them apart from the exoteric revivalism and political activism of the Islamist societies, such as the Muslim Brotherhood and its many affiliates. The rivalry and controversies between Sufism and its legalist and conservative detractors go back to the early epochs of Muslim history. The Sufi orders that emerged in the crisis milieu of the 12th century represented a quest for gnosis, the mystical search for truth, in contrast to the disciplined legalism and conservatism of the ulama.

Akassa Hamed Kane khin drums zikr (zikrulah) ... 'Baye Fall' Cheikh Ibrahima Fall Cheikh Ibra Fall was born in 1856. He played a vital role in the foundation of the Mouride Community. It shaped the movement as it is known and lived today. He has shown the disciples the submission and appropriate behaviour to observe towards to Ahmadu Bamba, visionary founder and prophet of the Mouride Brotherhood in Touba. Baye Fall Irreproachable workers, Baye Fall is the hard-core of the Mouride Brotherhood, ready for the demanding tasks of service to their community and it is certain that their work gives to the Brotherhood a strong sense of unity and unites Baye Fall in a powerful feeling of collective obligation.

57. Rumi Poetry A small site, including some poems by the sufi master and a brief biography. http://www.indranet.com/potpourri/poetry/rumi/rumi.html

Rumi Poem 1 Poem 3 Poem 2 Poem 4 ... More Rumi Information Rumi's Life Jelaluddin Rumi was born in the region today known as Afghanistan in 1207. His family fled the Mogul invasion to Konya, Turkey where he spent most of his life. Rumi following in his fathers ancestoral line became a scholar until his meeting with the wandering dervish, Shams of Tabriz. Of this meeting Rumi said, "What I had thought of before as God, I met today in a person." After Shams, Rumi's other strong influences were Saladin Zarkub, the goldsmith, and later his scribe, Husam. His poetry filled with a longing to be with the Friend, Him, or You. Are these mysterious pronouns the names of God, Shams, or who? This is for you, the reader to ponder. Rumi founded the Mevlevi Order of dervishes, better known as the Whirling Dervishes of Sufism. Through a turning movement, body posturing, mental focus, and sound, the dervish achieves ecstasy through union with God. Once a secret society, today the Mevlevi tour the world allowing audiences to witness the ceremony of their sacred dances and music. It is also interesting to note that similar to other major religions, Islam frowns upon dancing and using words such as "gamble," "drunk," and "wine" which you find throughout Rumi's and other great Islamic and Sufi poets writings. Obviously they mean "drunk" on God's grace, but that's not to say they wouldn't be outcast by religious fundamentalists today.

58. Imprisoned Lovers Article by Malik Carn. http://www.mindspring.com/~altafb/sufipers.html

Click here for Islam and Social Justice Page positively of sufism: "We find certain scholars denying the validity of mysticism. This is regrettable." 5 Interestingly Sufism has been a major influence on many Iranian philosophers whether it was the liberation theology of Dr. `Ali Shariati or the didactics of Mulla Sadra (Sadr al-Din Shirazi), considered by the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamene'i as the greatest Iranian philosopher. Sufism has clearly been an acceptable form of Islamic faith and practice and clearly the legal decision to exlude sufism from society is one based on political ideology and not on Islamic legal thought. There is no cultural imperative in Islam to justify the persecution of sufism. Part II: Dying for Love The Status of Human Rights for Sufis in Iran Imagine you are a professor of theology. You are walking down a public street suddenly the police stop you, shave your head and take your academic robes. Within a year you will be arrested your belongings confiscated and forbidden to accept new students and teach class. Your meeting halls demolished and libraries destroyed.

But When? Contact Credits Images Info ... Screenings Nusrat has Left the Building... But When? is a film made on the metamorphic career of the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the famous sufi qawwali singer from Pakistan. The film departs from the popular version of Nusrat and goes back to his early roots in pure sufi music before and after he exploded on the international scene. Nusrat's metamorphosis from a genuine popular artiste to a mass produced exotica of the east, left behind many disillusioned listeners and devotees in its wake. Perhaps for the first time this film will give voice to the other side of the song. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan albums are available at Amazon.com
