عرفان چیست؟ عارف کیست؟ (۱)

پرتو نور برنامه شماره ۱۹۶۶. عرفان یک نِحلهٔ معنوی / معنویت گرا است که کمابیش در همهٔ فرهنگ‌ها یافت میشود. از همین رو، تنوع زیادی در میان مکاتبِ عرفانی وجود دارد. در عین حال، مکاتبِ عرفانی اشتراکاتی هم دارند؛ و شاید مهترین فصلِ مشترک آنان، توجّه به باطنِ (درون) است. حقیقت در زیر قشرِ ستبری نهفته است: برای دستیابی بدان، می‌‌بایست قشرِ را در نَوردید تا به حقیقت رسید. لذا عرفان هم به باطنِ عالَم نظر دارد، و هم به باطنِ آدمی. در این برنامه، به زمینه شکل‌گیری عرفان در بین مسلمانان می‌‌پردازیم، و سه ویژه‌گی مهم عارفان را بررسی می‌‌کنیم.

Lecture - Compassion in Islam

@HamidEntezam

Compassion in Islam

Compassion is viewed by many as an ethical virtue. But, Islam takes it much further: compassion pertains to the essence of God, the Creator. Thus, the universe is a showroom of God’s compassion. The universe and all its inhabitants owe their very existence to God’s compassion. Adam (the human prototype) was created on the image of God, which implies that our humanity rests on “compassion”. If someone lacks compassion, he is still an ape- not a man. In this presentation, we will explore A) what compassion entails, B) what the Quran teaches about compassion, and C) some practical examples of compassion for daily life.

Lecture - Spirituality of Compassion

@HamidEntezam

Spirituality of Compassion

Compassion is a hallmark of authentic religion. The infusion of compassion into religious life was the culmination of a spiritual transformation in Axial Age (a 600-year period in history between 800 BC to 200 BC). Pre-Axial religion was mostly concerned with rituals and animal sacrifice; as such, religion did not have much ethical and spiritual content. Axial Age sages and prophets gradually shifted the focus of religion from rituals to a spirituality of compassion. Henceforth, authentic religion would be less concerned with beliefs, dogma and rituals; its primary aim would be to change the believers at a profound level: to empty them of their selfishness and fill them with a genuine concern for “others”. In this presentation, we will discuss how compassion became the defining feature of authentic religion.

Quran and Religious Tolerance

@HamidEntezam

Does the Quran Respect Religious Tolerance?

Quran study, session 36. Islam is often portrayed as a harsh and intolerant religion in Western media- a view that is mostly informed by actions of extremists such as ISIS and Wahhabi Salafis. But, a careful examination of the Quran shows that the Prophet Mohammad encouraged tolerance among his followers. Quran’s stance on tolerance is rooted in some of its keys teachings: 1) humanity has one universal nature; 2) cultural and religious diversity is God’s Will; 3) there is not a single way to salvation; 4) other religions have a divine origin. These teachings lay a firm foundation for tolerance in Islam. In this presentation, we will examine Quran’s position on religious tolerance.
