SUFISM IN LBN KHALDUN: REMEDY FOR THE QUESTIONER IN SEARCH OF ANSWERS

It is so often that twentieth-century literary criticism judges the Arabic cultural heritage by modern Western standards rather than by traditional Eastern values. Ibn Khaldun, the famous fourteenth-century historian, seems to be one of the most obviously flagrant victims of these rather anachronistic tendencies.

 In spite of the plethora of bibliographies on Ibn Khaldun, the Shifa al-Sail li-Tahdhib al-Masa il has been neglected by critics and translators although, in it, Ibn Khaldun examines a

question that occupied the Islamic medieval world, namely, the question of the transmission of knowledge, and more specifically, mystical knowledge. In this study, we described the state of tasawwuf, or mysticism, in the areas of the Muslim world where Ibn Khaldun lived and examined the authors’ personal connections with, and views on Sufism.

We tried, as objectively as possible, to communicate the author’s epistemological theories and his understanding of the spiritual quest by analyzing and translating the Shifa.

In this, we relied on the author’s literary writings as well as on primary and secondary sources dealing with Ibn Khaldun, history, and mysticism trying to show how the predominantly philosophical and religious character of the Shifa does reflect Ibn Khaldun’s concern and involvement with his time and helps us look at him as a fourteenth-century historian and philosopher.
