Islamic Esotericism & Western Magical Practice #islam #islamic #islamiceducation

What is Islamic Esotericism, and how does it relate to Western Esotericism?
Thanks to Liana Saif's work, we delve into Islamic esotericism within the broader context of global esoteric traditions, critically assessing the field's traditional focus on Western esotericism. We scrutinize the foundational role of scholars like Mircea Eliade and Henry Corbin in shaping Western-centric esoteric narratives. The episode addresses key questions:

- How has Western-centric scholarship influenced the study of Islamic esotericism?
- What are the challenges and implications of integrating Islamic esoteric traditions into a global esoteric framework?
- How do cultural, religious, and historical factors intersect in the practice of esotericism across societies?

Through the insights of Wouter Hanegraaff and Kennet Granholm, the episode urges a reevaluation of esoteric studies to embrace the richness of traditions that transcend the East-West dichotomy. It raises important issues related to cultural exchange, identity, and the aftermath of colonialism in shaping esoteric practices. The work of Naṣr Ḥāmid Abū Zayd is highlighted, emphasizing philosophical inquiry in the interpretation of sacred texts within Islamic mysticism. This episode invites a reimagined approach to Islamic esotericism that acknowledges its complexity and historical depth, addressing the intricate balance between exoteric and esoteric dimensions of faith and knowledge.
