Al-Mumit, the One Who brings on death, reminds us in a comforting way, of the inevitability of death, and soothes the fear from it. Al-Mumit, reminds us that all forms of existence, from thoughts, to feelings, identities and bodies come to an end, and sheds light on which part of our ego is preventing our self-growth. Al-Mumit, softens reactivity and slowly brings death to it. Pairing this Divine Attribute with Al-Muhyi, the one who grants life, strengthens our awareness that we lie in the hands of God. Al Muhyi then enlivens the heart, re-energizes the strengths and abilities that lie within us and brings them back to life. Al-Hayy : the Ever -Living , then awakens the light of unity within the heart. It enlivens, and uplifts us to share this beautiful energy with those around us, it allows us to become one with the rhythm of life.

Giolfo, Claudia Maria Tresso (membri della Giuria specialistica)."Una piccola morte"Mohamed Hasan Alwantraduzione di Barbara Teresie/o edizionihttps://www.edizionieo.it/Tradotto in più di dieci paesi, Una piccola morte, biografia romanzata di uno dei padri del sufismo (la corrente mistica dell'Islam), è un romanzo storico, d'avventura, di viaggio e d'amore, che restituisce un'immagine del santo sufi ripulita dall'alone di leggenda: Ibn ‘Arabi uomo in carne e ossa, che si sposa e divorzia, che piange e ride, che viaggia alla ricerca del senso della vita. Il titolo si riferisce proprio a un detto di Muhyi-d-din Ibn ‘Arabi: «L'amore è una piccola morte».In questo ambizioso romanzo, Mohamed Hasan Alwan ci conduce in un'epoca lontana, a cavallo tra il XII e il XIII secolo, ricostruendo passo dopo passo e con dovizia di particolari la vita del “sommo maestro” Muhyi-d-din Ibn ‘Arabi, uno dei più grandi sheikh sufi di tutti i tempi, filosofo, mistico e poeta la cui opera ha influenzato molti intellettuali e mistici tanto in Oriente quanto in Occidente (secondo alcuni studiosi avrebbe influenzato, seppur indirettamente, anche Dante Alighieri e San Giovanni della Croce). In apertura del romanzo, Alwan immagina Ibn ‘Arabi, in eremitaggio su una montagna in Azerbaigian, intento a scrivere la propria autobiografia. Le pagine che seguono ripercorrono, sotto forma di narrazione in prima persona, l'intera vita del mistico musulmano, sempre legata a doppio filo agli eventi storici e politici dell'epoca, che hanno influito, spesso in modo diretto, sul suo vissuto quotidiano e sul suo percorso esistenziale.Mohamed Hasan AlwanMohamed Hasan Alwan, nato a Riad nel 1979, è un romanziere e saggista saudita. Ha conseguito un dottorato di ricerca in Marketing internazionale presso la Carleton University in Canada. Considerato tra i giovani autori più promettenti nel panorama della narrativa araba contemporanea, nel 2015 ha vinto il Prix de la littérature arabe dell'Institut du monde arabe di Parigi. Nel 2017 ha vinto con Una piccola morte l'International Prize for Arabic Fiction, il più prestigioso premio letterario dedicato alla letteratura di lingua araba.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Following Islam and its commandments will also become easy.

Many Muslim debates regarding women are solely situated in legal or political frameworks. For example, we often find this tendency in conversations about women's leadership in the mosque or the politics of veiling. Sa'diyya Shaikh, Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Cape Town, provides a unique approach to these discussions that puts feminist hermeneutics in dialogue with the thought of the prolific Muhyi al-Din ibn al-‘Arabi (1165-1240). In Sufi Narratives of Intimacy: Ibn Arabi, Gender and Sexuality (University of North Carolina Press, 2012) she explores contestations over embodiment and gender, spirituality and leadership, sexuality and power in order to rethink patriarchal epistemologies in contemporary Muslim discourses. She argues that contesting positions on gender in these debates are underpinned by certain assumptions about human nature, its gendering, and existence. Shaikh outlines the social and ritual consequences of spiritual (in)equality and initiates reflections on Islamic notions of the central category “human being.” Shaikh leads us through Ibn ‘Arabi's dynamic anthropology, ontology, and cosmology and links abstract philosophical concepts with concrete daily relationships between men and women. In our conversation we discussed Islamic feminism, apophatic unsayings and hermeneutic of subversions, Ibn ‘Arabi's interpersonal relationships with women, parallels between the macrocosm and microcosm, Muslim exegesis, notions of creation, interpretations of Adam and Eve, Jesus' birth from the Virgin Mary, and masculine and feminine in Islam.
