Slavia Meridionalis

The twisting paths of the sufis – the Turkic-Balkan motifs in the sufi ‘tariqa’ concept in selected examples of contemporary literary works The first part of this paper summarises how Sufi brotherhoods formed in the Balkans with some references to their Turkic-Ottoman sources. Islamic mystical movements constituted part of the Islamisation initiatives in the territories occupied by the Ottoman Empire: mystical teaching was apparently more successful among the local people than conservative Islam. Crypto-Christianism was a typical phenomenon among converted Slavs. Orders using the language of symbolic tales (like the Bektashi) involved some Christian rites. The orders which proved most popular were the Mevlevi, Naqshbandi, Chalwati and Bektashi, which are still active in some parts of the Balkans.

The article is devoted to the political circumstances that influenced certain decisions regarding the first two editions of the travel report of the Arab traveler Ibn Faḍlān from Baghdad to the Volga Bulgars (921–922). The now-famous text of the voyage account, known as the Mashhad manuscript, was discovered in 1923 by a Turkish orientalist of Bashkir origin, Ahmed Zeki Velidi Togan (1890–1970) and formed the basis of his doctoral dissertation defended at the University of Vienna in 1935.

Both scholars conflicted with the USSR authorities: Togan had fought with the Soviet Army in 1920–1923, while Kovalevskiy was sentenced to five years in the gulag in 1938 on (as it later turned out) a wrongful charge of counterrevolutionary activity.

Im Artikel werden die Grundsatze der islamischen Eschatologie und Soteriologie besprochen, insbesondere das Verstandnis des irdischen Lebens und des Todes im Koran und in den Hadithen. Die Quellentexte des Islams bezeichnen Gott als Schopfer der Welt und den Herrn aller Schopfung, was wiederum den Glauben an vollige Abhangigkeit des Menschen von Gott bedeutet. Dem Islam zufolge ist der Mensch vor allem Trager der moralischen Tatigkeiten. Er wird nach seinem Tode die Rechenschaft uber seine Entscheidungen ablegen, die er in seinem zeitlichen, als vorubergehende Probezeit begriffenen Leben, getroffen hat. Diejenigen Menschen, mit denen Gott zufrieden sein wird, werden mit ewigem Leben in paradiesischen Garten belohnt, diejenigen dagegen, die Gottes Zorn erregt haben, werden in die Holle verbannt.
