Contextualizing Multiculturalism in The Ideology of Sufism
Journal Title: Research Journal of Philosophy & Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The world is entering into a new phase, and intellectuals have not been hesitant to proliferate visions of what it will be ‘End of History’, the fundamental source of conflict in this new world will not be primarily ideological or primarily economic. The great division among the man kind and the dominating source of conflict will be cultural identities as was formulated earlier by great philosopher Huntington in his theory ‘Clash of Civilization’ Which seems to be relevant after 9/11. Also in 1793, as R.R Palmar put it, the wars of the kings were over, and the wars of people begin. In the present times of the clash of civilizations seems imminent, which resulted in the communal riots. The ideologies operating in the name of religion as Jihad as well as the radical element of other religious ideologies as Christian, Hindu and Jewish also start stimulating. That emergence of radical elements in the religion ideologies is threat to multiculturalism. However, Sufism offers a path of perfect solace and makes us to understand the value of Humanism. That is the basis of multiculturalism. There has always been interaction and dialogue between Muslims and people of other faiths in Sufism as ideologies. They put more emphasis on communal harmony between different religious beliefs as Hindus and Muslims? In this context the study would study that the concept of multiculturalism can be developed best in the context of Sufism. From this perspective the article is most relevant in the present context where the world is passing through stages of turmoil on the cultural grounds, and religious lines. The study also wants to establish that humanism can be brought about by the teachings of great charismatic suffi leader Rumi. It will examine the humanistic teachings of Mulana Rumi. ,
