Описание: Rabi'a of Basra & Mansur Hallaj Selected Poems Translation & Introduction Paul Smith RABI'A OF BASRA (717-801). Her Spiritual Master was Hazrat Hassan Basri. Throughout her life, her Love of God, poverty and self-denial did not waver. As her fame grew she had many disciples. She also had discussions with many of the renowned religious people of her time. More interesting than her absolute asceticism, however, is the actual concept of Divine Love that Rabi'a introduced. She was the first to introduce the idea that God should be loved for God's own sake. She is widely considered to be the most important of the early Sufi poets. She was the first in a long line of female Sufi mystics. MANSUR HALLAJ (859-922). He was a Perfect Master and a poet who born near Shiraz, Persia... a writer and teacher of Sufism most famous for his self-proclaimed divinity in his poetry and for his execution for heresy. Although Hallaj was born in Persia he wrote all of his works in Arabic. His influence on all Sufis, be they poets or not, who have come after him, cannot be overestimated. Included with a selecten of their poems in the correct form & meaning are biographies, selected bibliographies. Pages 134.
