The Book of Certainty - Seminar#4

The Book of Certainty
Seminar#4
by Reza Shah-Kazemi
In this series, Dr Reza Shah-Kazemi will discuss The Book of Certainty by Dr Martin Lings, also known as Shaykh Abū Bakr Sirāj ad-Dīn. The talks will be in the form of seminars where Reza will start by reading a few pages from the book, then elucidate some of the meanings. The audience will then be invited to participate and engage in a Q&A session.
 
The Book of Certainty: The Sufi Doctrine of Faith, Vision and Gnosis was first published in 1992 by the Islamic Texts Society. The book expresses the language of Sufism, that is, Islamic mysticism, some of the universal truths which ‘lie at the heart of all religions’.

Dr Lings was asked by friends in Egypt in the early 1950s to write a book before he leaves. He wrote this book attempting to distil the quintessence of Sufi Qur’anic exegeses, wove into that a universal prospective. His aim of writings was to make accessible some of the great germs of Universal Spirituality expressed through commentaries of Qur’anic verses.

We would like to thank the Institut Kajian Dasar (IKD), Institute for Policy Research in Kuala Lumpur for their help in organising this webinar.

From Mythology to Cosmology and Spirituality
::From Mythology to Cosmology and Spirituality::

The best way of encapsulating the central motif, the particular constellation of ideas that motivated the production of this company and the philosophy underlying this project is the following quotation from one of our great teachers Dr. Martin Lings, otherwise known as Shaykh Abū Bakr Sirāj al-Dīn, who died in 2005 at the age of 96 ; “Our aim is to express some of the universal truths which lie at the heart of all religions” quoted from the preface of his book The Book of Certainty.

Part of our aim and part of what driven us is trying to re-present the legacy of Dr. Lings and there by the Perennial Philosophy in the English language with the emphasis of the audio access. We want people to be able to hear on themes of perennial philosophy , comparative religion, and the deeper aspect of the mystical path in the traditions and to do this in a way that will be accessible on the internet through the spoken word with the emphasis of going back to tradition. In a certain way this new medium can be used in a postmodern way to actually go back to the pre-modern realities, to traditional realities and to traditional ways of expressing this wonderful truth that have been giving to all of us by the Almighty through all of our traditions and cultures.

A life long seeker of Sacred knowledge, Saqib explored Eastern and Western spirituality, which sparked in him a search for Truth or object Reality beyond one’s cultural or religious conditioning. He found answers to such metaphysical questions in the Qur’an itself through the works of Ibn Arabi, Rumi and other great sages in the Islamic tradition. He has studied with authorised masters of Sufi tradition
