Fawa’id al-Fu’ad is
a monumental work of spiritual and literary discourses of Shaikh Nizamuddin
Awliya who lived in medieval India. The book is a didactic classic in the
form of recorded conversations. Devoid of supernatural elements, it provides
useful information about a large number of Shufi saints and ‘ulama’. A living
testimony to the accord between the Shari‘ah and Tariqah, therein he spoke on
the necessity of practising values that could transform man into a true human
being, full of love, tolerance, forgiveness, patience, forbearance, sincerity
in devotion, adherence to truth and generosity. Sufism or Islamic
spiritualism that flourished in India with the advent of the Turkish rule in
the 13th century forms the backdrop of this work. The moral teachings of his
spiritual mentors, dwelt at length, in various majlises, constitute the
bed-rock of this treatise which has great literary distinction. Written in
fluent Persian prose style, it is embellished with apt verses to elucidate
the points of discussion. The Shufi way of life and the teachings of the
Chishtiyah order have been vindicated as a sharp contrast to the material
prosperity, territorial conquest and the lust for power in the contemporary
world. The compiler — Amir Hasan ‘Ala’ sijzi — a great scholar of Persian
language, has done a yeoman’s service in giving a definite shape to this
monumental work. The Shaikh’s didactic intention and spiritual flavour have
been well-preserved through the compiler’s directness of style. Fawa’id al-Fu’ad
rendered into English from the original Persian text based on an ably edited
edition of the book represents a serious attempt to understand the nuances of
the mystic mind of a great shufi saint of the sub-continent. This academic
venture of Prof. Faruqi will be of great use to lay readers as well as the
scholars of Islamic mysticism. |
