ESP

Queridos amigos,

El Ramadán es un tiempo de reflexión, oración y convivencia, en el que los musulmanes de todo el mundo se reúnen para celebrar el mes sagrado. Es un tiempo para ayunar, dar gracias por nuestras bendiciones y renovar nuestro compromiso con la fe.

Como parte de la observancia del Ramadán de este año, estamos encantados de invitarle a un acto especial de ruptura del ayuno. Será un momento de reflexión espiritual y de comunidad, en el que nos reuniremos para romper el ayuno y celebrar las bendiciones de la temporada.

Pero este acto no es una ruptura de ayuno cualquiera. Estará precedido por una introducción musical del Zevk Ensemble, un grupo de músicos de talento especializados en la interpretación de odas espirituales y letanías. Su música es poderosa, edificante y profundamente espiritual, y es la manera perfecta de establecer el tono de la velada.

Tras la introducción musical, romperemos el ayuno con una deliciosa comida, que incluirá una variedad de platos tradicionales. Este evento es una comida compartida, por lo que le animamos a traer un plato para compartir con la comunidad. Esta será una gran oportunidad para mostrar sus habilidades culinarias y compartir sus platos favoritos con los demás. Este concierto está abierto a todos, así que no dude en invitar a un amigo o vecino.

A lo largo de la velada, tendremos oportunidades para la oración, la reflexión y la conversación, mientras celebramos las bendiciones de la temporada y la alegría de estar juntos.

Este acontecimiento promete ser una experiencia maravillosa para todos, y esperamos que se una a nosotros. La música del Zevk Ensemble, combinada con la atmósfera espiritual del Ramadán, será sin duda una experiencia poderosa y conmovedora. Así que marquen sus calendarios, traigan un plato para compartir y vengan a celebrarlo con nosotros.

18.03.2023 – SUFISMO: realidad interior, tipologías espirituales y manifestaciones históricas

 

Vía espiritual por excelencia de la tradición islámica, el sufismo se ha manifestado a través de la historia del último milenio como una realidad que se mantiene vigente en el tiempo, no obstante los grandes cambios paradigmáticos que se suscitado desde los albores de la modernidad, A través de las enseñanzas de sus más ilustres maestros, la tradición del tasawwuf ha sabido hacer frente a los desafíos espirituales, morales y sociales de cada época, renovando y revivificando los aspectos más esenciales del credo islámico.
Para los visionarios sufíes la intima relación entre la divinidad y el ser humano, narrada con misteriosa belleza por la revelación coránica, resulta indicativo del profundo vinculo entre conocimiento y existencia. De ahí que aquellos aludan a sus enseñanzas con expresiones tales como ‘realidad viva’ o ‘forma de conocimiento directo’; se trata pues de modalidades espirituales que se inspiran en el dhikr, la
practica de la invocación y el recuerdo de los más bellos Nombres de Dios y que conducen a la anamnesis de la conciencia humana. Desde esa perspectiva espiritual el conocimiento se manifiesta pues como una modalidad del ser y no como una cualificación puramente intelectual o mental, es decir que es eminentemente existencial y no exclusivamente propositiva. En otras palabras el tasawwuf entraña un equilibrio entre el plano exterior y la dimensión interior, de ahí que se diga que es la quintaesencia misma del islam, el corazón de toda santa sapienza y la tradición heredera del modelo profético por excelencia.

Ya Ilahi, har jaga teri ata ka saath ho,

Ya Ilahi jab chaleh tareeq raahein pul siraat,
Aftab-E-Hashmi Nur-ul Huda ka saath ho,

Ya Ilahi Jab Sar-E-Shamsheer par chalnah pareh,
Rab-E-Sallim Kehne Waleh Gham Zudah (SAW) Ka Saath Ho,

Greetings to Life and Death (English)

Oh my Lord, may your benefaction and mercy always encompass us, in every sphere of life,
In times of hardship and distress may our companion be the King of the alleviators of all hardship and distress – Imam Ali (AS),

Oh My Lord, let me not be preoccupied by the Stupor of Death,
But instead on the pilgrimage and union with our beautiful and Beloved Prophet (SAW),

Oh My Lord, when my body shall tremble profusely from the intense heat on The Day of gathering,
May the cooling breeze emanating from the shade of the Beloved Prophet (SAW) be our Companion,

Oh My Lord, when our book of deeds is unveiled on The Day,
May our Companion be the one who is The Veiler for His Ummah – Our Beloved Prophet (SAW),

Oh My Lord, when we embark on the journey towards the Pul-Sirãt crossing (Bridge) on The Day,
May our companion be the radiant Sun of the Hashemite, our Guiding Light – The Beloved Prophet (SAW).

Oh My Lord, when we shall walk across the surface of the bridge of Al-Sirãt (Which shall be finer than a strand of hair and sharper than the sharpest blade),
May our Companion be the One who endlessly praises and seeks refuge with His Lord, the grief bearer for His Ummah – Our Beloved Prophet (SAW),

The King of Valiant Men, The Lion of God, The Might of God – Imam Ali (AS),
There is no victory without Ali (AS), There is no Sword other than Zulfiqar,

The King of Hearts and Souls, The Spiritual Sovereign of the world, Syed Ahmad Kabir Rifa’i (RA),
Oh Sealed one, we beseech you of your helping hand – Oh Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA),

Oh Maulana Shaykh Nazim (RA), Oh Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) – Oh Saint of All Saints,
We beseech your intercession during the questioning of Munkir and Nakir (In the Grave),

There is One, there is No-one, Other than God there is No-one,

Oh my Lord, may your benefaction and mercy always encompass us, in every sphere of life,
In times of hardship and distress may our companion be the King of the alleviators of all hardship and distress – Imam Ali (AS).

 

Notes

The main body of this recitation is from a poem written by the late great scholar and poet Imam Ahmad Raza Khan (RA), who is also fondly known as Ala Hazrat in the subcontinent. d.1921 Some other lines were given to me from various teachers along my spiritual journey. These have been passed down from saint to saint and from scholar to scholar and are of unknown origin. One verse was written through inspiration.
