Template talk:Sufism

All you want to know about Template talk:Sufism

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Template:Sufism page.

Maybe we can have a subsection in the template called "Orders" that lists all the orders like Chishti, Shadhili, Jerrahi, Qadiri, Naqshbandi and Mevlevi. deeptrivia (talk) 15:34, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I was thinking the same thing . But then it will become too long & thin . May be we should make it horizontal (like that of yoga), then it will be easy to add more sections/links to it . Cheers .F.a.y.تبادله خيال /c 15:37, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Modern sufis?

Can anyone with sufficient knowledge of the subject look into some of the modern sufis listed here? A lot of names have been added, mostly by unregistered IPs, and I'm not sure they're notable or important enough to be on the template. --Bluerain talk 15:30, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Correct. I have started the discussion on Talk:Sufism#Sufism_Template in the hope that more people will respond there. Cheers--Shahab 11:12, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Missed Sufis

I added the name of two Early Sufi which Henry Corbin has mentioned them in history of Islamic philosophy. One of them Ahmad Ghazali is a notable sufi and brother of Abu Hamid Ghazali. The other one is Hakim Termazi.--Seyyed(t-c) 15:53, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Irfan Shi'i

There is a mystic approach among Shia which is known as Irfan. The followers of this approach are usually clerics and they don't follow any Sufi order. But they usually have commentary about the ideas of Ibn Arabi especially Fusus al-Hikam. Even one of them who is alive, Allame Hasan Zadeh Amoli, has added a chapter to Fusus al-Hikam. Hossein Nasr explain about them in his book "Sufi Essays". Corbin has also described them in history of Islamic philosophy. I want to make a new part for them and call it Irfan Shi'i.--Seyyed(t-c) 16:06, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

These are their names:

And also there are other Arif which I 'll add their name, En sha Allah.--Seyyed(t-c) 16:22, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, we should do something like this. It is important to highlight the Irfan tradition in Shi'asm. However, many Shi'ahs feel that Irfan is a separate tradition from Sufism, and quote hadith about the Imams (AS) cursing Sufis (these however were heretical Sufis). I am unsure if we should spark this controversy. --Enzuru 15:56, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
Also remember however, the Irfani tradition does not exist in Zaidism nor Ismailism, but rather Ismailism simply interacted with Sufis such as the Nimatullahi order, which the Ismaili Imams such as the Aga Khan III were members of. So, while a Sufi tradition may exist in this groups, an Irfani one does not, so we can't apply the "Shi'ah" label to them, but only the Twelver one. --Enzuru 16:09, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Collapsed

With a little help from a more experienced editor I have altered the template so that it will allow a swith, "|state=collapsed", which will present the nav box in the collapsed state on infividual pages. It has been applied to Khwajagan. __meco (talk) 13:04, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
