| description | To be is to exist, and differentiate oneself from others in order to find the key to the self. The truth is that the ultimate goal of the spiritual evolution in Islam is self-understanding to reach a state of perfection and universality (kamâl). Identity is at the center of the search of the Sufi. Mystics from the Middle East such as Abû Yazîd al-Bistâmî (m.874) and Huseyn ibn Mansour al-Hallâj (m.922), of Persian origin and Arab-speaking, used to show respect to other believers, which illustrate cultural pluralism during this period. These well-known Sufis used methods based on Muhammad’s tradition, one of his inspiring hadith is: “He who knows his self, knows his Lord”. Their doctrine is about annihilation (al-fanâ’); by losing the vision of their own individuality, the Sufis become absent to the world and present in God. When they are asked about their identity, they answer like Abû Yazîd al-Bistâmî : “Bistâmî, who is Bistâmî?” |
