تصوف پر عیسائیت اور بدھ مذہب کے اثرات کا جائزہ
An Examination of The Influence of Christianity and Buddhism on Sufism
Abstract
The Orientalists have discussed Sufism along with other branches of Islamic studies and in this too, a large part of their research is based on assumptions and absurd stories to distort the image of this branch of Islam. The main reason for the assumptions is its historical background, because for almost two hundred years from 1095 to 1291 there were crusades between Europe and Islam and there was a lot of hatred, due to which the contact between the West and the East ended. Diplomatic relations between Europe and Iran were restored in the 16th century AD, Europeans came to Iran for trade, tourism and knowledge.
During this time, the people of Europe described the culture, religion, Sufism, philosophy, and poetry they saw in Iran in their travelogues, which also introduced Sufism in Europe, which was completely Iranian environment that these people understood and their vision. Accordingly, they established a concept that Sufism is an Iranian plant, neither did those people go to Baghdad, nor Basra, Ko Fah, nor Hejaz i.e. Makkah and Madinah to see Sufism from there, secondly, they did not read the Qur'an and Hadith, nor did they They only read Iranian poets including Hafiz Shirazi, Omar Khayyam, Maulana Rum, Saadi Shirazi, etc. said.
