Poetic Expressions in Sufi Language (Based on Al-Niffary’s “Kitab Al-Mawaqif”)
Sharing Poetic Expressions: 2011 Ruzana Pskhu
The Kitab Al-Mawaqif by Al-Niffary (tenth Century) is an illustrative example of Sufi consciousness immersion in Koran. The result of such immersion in the Sacred Islamic Text is an original mystical language, which abounds in poetic expressions. Diversity of the poetic expressions of al-Niffary points at logical impossibility of verbal expression of communication mystery with the Supreme Entity.
