Jewish Pietism of the Sufi Type

https://journals.openedition.org/bcrfj/2312

The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to a poorly known trend in Judaism that developed in the medieval Jewish community of Cairo, and forms the background for the manuscript that I am in the process of translating.

A brief description to the features of this manuscript will serve as an introduction to my approach, which aims at shedding light on a successful encounter between Islam and Judaism. This religious symbiosis, as exemplary as it is surprising, constitutes the framework of the “pietist” movement and pervades the essence of the manuscript itself; it also demonstrates the profound relevance of the former and the value of the latter. For these reasons it should not be disregarded at a time when inter-religious dialogue has been initiated but when instances of meaningful contact are still rare.

Islamic Sufism and Jewish Kabbalah: Shining a Light on Their Hidden History

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/sufism-and-kabbalah_b_989875

Muslims and Jews further possess mystical customs — Islamic Sufism and Jewish Kabbalah — that are so close to one another that the presumption of mutual influence is inescapable. Yet the transmission of these spiritual doctrines and practices between them is still historically mysterious. At certain points, there is evidence for direct influence of Sufism on Jewish spirituality. Elsewhere, the path between the two is challenging to discern.

Sufism and Kabbalah alike fall into two general streams: the “theosophical,” concerned with explaining the mystical content of the universe and humanity’s relationship to God’s creation, and the “ecstatic.” Both Sufis and Kabbalists ascribe an external and a hidden meaning to their scriptures. But for the “theosophical” mystic, Muslim or Jewish, the mind is concentrated on performance of religious commandments according to their supernatural understanding. By contrast, the “ecstatic” seeks more than a refinement of the soul, and intimacy with God.

The Talmud and Islam

In an extract from his new book, The Talmud – A Biography, Harry Freedman looks at the influence of Jews and Muslims on each other

Both Islam and Judaism are religions which minutely regulate every aspect of the believer’s life. They’re each based on a God-given written document – the Torah for Judaism and the Qu’ran for Islam. These divine texts are each interpreted and expanded upon by an oral tradition – the Talmud and the Hadith respectively. Both traditions contain legal and ethical material, and the legal material in each distinguishes between religious laws and social laws.

The Jewish system of law is called halachah, the Islamic system is called shar’ia. Both names mean a “pathway” or a “way to go”. Unlike Christianity, the laws and beliefs in Islam and Judaism are derived through a process of reasoning and scholarship; there are no councils or synods to rule on doctrine, ethics or behaviour. In fact the two religions are so close in terms of their structure that the tenth-century rabbinic leader Saadia Gaon would unselfconsciously refer to Jewish law as shar’ia, to the prayer leader in a synagogue as an imam and the direction in which Jews faced when praying as qibla.

The essence of Christianity is a set of guidelines given by Jesus Christ, called The Way (ἡ ὁδός).

John 14:6

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
