چکیده:
In biographical collections and mystical works, the Malamatiyya are always mentioned as a group of Sufis and mystics. In describing their lives and works, it is often limited to stating several principles emphasized by the Malamatiyya and listing a few names and titles as members of the Malamat people, which does not reflect the prominent and influential position of Malamati thought within the realm of Persian literature. Their role is not explained, and the foundations of their beliefs within the body of Islamic mysticism are not examined. In this article, we seek to prove that from its inception, the Persian ghazal has become a tool for teaching Malamati doctrines. The writing of this article is, in fact, a step toward recognizing the cultural and literary identity of the Malamati and finding traces of the profound impact of their teachings and beliefs on the Persian ghazal, and specifically, the foundation of a genre of ghazal titled 'Qalandariyat'.
خلاصه ماشینی:
Today, after twelve centuries have passed since the emergence of Sufism, and following the decline of that bustle and passion of Sufi thoughts and actions, the inevitable stagnation of the official and khanqah-based Sufism market, and the abandonment of its traditions and customs in the face of the flood of ideas and new manifestations of the contemporary world's civilization, beyond the need for careful review and nuanced evaluation of the remnants of the structure of this ancient and enduring institution, it is an admission of this certain and indisputable belief that Persian mystical literature is truly one of the unparalleled masterpieces of human art, culture, and thought.
The history of Sufism and literature reveals this fact: that until the fourth and fifth centuries AH, composing poetry or reading and listening to it by religious people and following their wishes was still considered among the majority of Sufis an act contrary to Sharia and regarded as sin and idle amusement, and only fearless elders such as: Abu Sa'id Abu al-Khayr or Yusuf ibn Husayn Razi, who also had clear Malamati tendencies, engaged in it; and of course, despite all the honor and status they possessed, for the penalty of this norm-breaking, through harassment, threat, and reproach others have also submitted.
