ellauri119.html on line 440: Love encompasses the Islamic view of life as universal brotherhood that applies to all who hold faith. Amongst the 99 names of God (Allah), there is the name Al-Wadud, or "the Loving One," which is found in Surah [Quran 11:90] as well as Surah [Quran 85:14]. God is also referenced at the beginning of every chapter in the Qur'an as Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim, or the "Most Compassionate" and the "Most Merciful", indicating that nobody is more loving, compassionate and benevolent than God. The Qur'an refers to God as being "full of loving kindness." The Qur'an exhorts Muslim believers to treat all people, viz. those who have not persecuted them, with birr or "deep kindness" as stated in Surah [Quran 6:8-9]. Birr is also used by the Qur'an in describing the love and kindness that children must show to their parents. Ishq, or divine love, is the emphasis of Sufism in the Islamic tradition. Practitioners of Sufism believe that love is a projection of the essence of God to the universe. God desires to recognize beauty, and as if one looks at a mirror to see oneself, God "looks" at himself within the dynamics of nature. Since everything is a reflection of God, the school of Sufism practices to see the beauty inside the apparently ugly sufist. Sufism is often referred to as the religion of love. God in Sufism is referred to in three main terms, which are the Lover, Loved, and Beloved, with the last of these terms being often seen in Sufi poetry.
ellauri189.html on line 667: Ämnena är kärlek – mänsklig eller gudomlig och rytm och mening samverkar. Ghasaler från den indiska kontinenten har ofta inslag av islamisk mysticism och de är svår att förstå om man inte är förtrogen med sufism.
ellauri277.html on line 177: Kristinuskon, islamin ja sufismin lisäksi Gibranin mystiikkaan vaikuttivat myös teosofia ja jungilainen psykologia. Noin 1911–1912 Gibran tapasi ʻAbdu´l-Bahán, baháʼí-uskon johtajan, joka vieraili Yhdysvalloissa, piirtääkseen hänen muotokuvansa. Tapaaminen teki vahvan vaikutuksen Gibraniin. Yksi Gibranin tutuista myöhemmin elämässä, Juliet Thompson, joka on itsekin aika baháʼí, kertoi, että Gibran ei saanut nukkua tapaamista seuraavana yönä.
ellauri401.html on line 73: Fama Fraternitatis esittelee legendan saksalaisesta lääkäristä ja mystikkofilosofista, jota kutsutaan "Isäveli CRC:ksi" (myöhemmin tunnistettiin kolmannessa manifestissa nimellä Christian Rosenkreuz tai "Rose-cross"). Vuosi 1378 esitetään "kristillisen Isämme" syntymävuotena, ja hänen kerrotaan eläneen 106 vuotta. Opiskeltuaan Lähi-idässä eri mestareiden johdolla, mahdollisesti liittyneenä sufismiin, hän ei kyennyt levittämään hankkimaansa tietoa merkittäville eurooppalaisille tiedemiehille ja filosofeille. Sen sijaan hän kokosi pienen ystäväpiirin/opetuslapsia ja perusti Ruusuristiläisen ritarikunnan (tämän voidaan päätellä tapahtuneen noin 1407). Outoa pyllistelyä. Kuinka kukaan voi oikeasti pitää tälläsestä?
