Walking In The Steps Of Poets Courtly Themes In Early Sufism

from NYUAD Institute · host NYUAD Institute

2018.12.11 It is common practice in modern times to read mystical poetry and apply it to our mundane lives and loves. Sufis in the early period did the opposite. Their mystical hymns often spun out of the courtly poetic ghazal, panegyric, and wine songs. This talk highlights the relation of the Arabic courtly poetic canon to early Sufism. Speakers Bilal Orfali, Chairperson and Associate Professor of Arabic Studies, American University of Beirut
