Mr. David E. Rosenbaum AND MUSLIM
SAINTS & MYSTICS ( TADHKIRATAL-AULIYA)

BY Sheikh Farid-AL-Din Attar

Introduction

Shaikh Farid Al-din Attar is considered one of the
preeminent mystical poets of the Persian literary
tradition. The duration of his life is uncertain,
though he can be placed in the 12th and 13th centuries
C.E. born in Nishapur in what is today Iran.
Attar apparently was a pharmacist but little
information about his personal life is known. During
his lifetime he is believed to have written
approximately 9 books, including such famous works as
The Manteq Al-Tayr (The Conference of the Birds) and
The Ilahi-Nama (The book of God)
Tadhkiratal-Auliya (Muslim Saints and Mystics) is
considered world famous classical book of Persian
literature which printed and re-printed in many
countries.
An abridgement, translated by A.J. Arberry, of
Attar'sonly known prose work Tadhkirat Al-Auliya
(TheMemorial of the Saints) which he worked on
throughout much of his life and which was available
publicly before his death. Arberry's translation is an
abridgement.
The entry on HAZRAT Owaise Al-Qarani (R.A.)
and some other chapters translated by me
which were omitted in Arberry's text
are added on the WEB SITE OF YANABI.COM .
In Tadhkiratal-Auliya Sheikh Farid-Al-Din Attar (R.A.) wrote
many chapters briefly but in those chapters there is
full information and details of the titles are
available . His style of writing is most interesting
and for this reason the readers will remember the
above chapters from the above great book for a longer
time .
Due to many great chapters this book is very
famous through out the world and its translations
are available in many languages of the world.
Thanks to Mr. David E. Rosenbaum of New York Times
The second chapter HAZRAT Owaise Al-Qarani (R.A.)
was published on the following web site
by Mr. David E. Rosenbaum as he
was the editor of the below web site.
Mr David E. Rosenbaum's publication note about the
entry on HAZRAT Owasie Al Qarni ( R.A.)
Muslim Saints and Mystics is an abridgement,
translated by A.J. Arberry, of Attar's only known
prose work: Tadhkirat al-Auliya (The Memorial of the
Saints), which he worked on throughout much of his
life and which was available publicly before his
death. In what is considered the most compelling entry
in this book, Attar relates the story of the execution
of Hallaj, the mystic who had uttered the words "I am
the Truth" in a state of ecstatic contemplation.
Arberry's translation is an abridgement; the entry on
HAZRAT Owaise al-Qarani (R.A.) translated
by Mohammed A. HafeezB.Com., omitted in
Arberry's text, is included at the
following link: Owaise al-Qarani.
