MIND, MATTER AND GOD : JIVA, JADA AND ISVARA M.M.NINAN In Islam, God has a real and eternal existence. As the Creator of all things, he is distinct from all He has created. The Creator is totally distinct from the creature. Islam is its monotheism — tawheed — the belief in the oneness of God in the complete sense of the word. God is One. He has no partner. He created all things and has complete control over the universe. We should serve Him and submit to Him alone. Though He cannot be seen, He is so close to us that He hears and answers us when we call upon him. Further it asserts that no intermediary link exists between the Creator and the creature. “Allah is One, the Eternal God. He begot none nor was He begotten. None is equal to Him.. He is merciful and kind to those who submit to him” 198
MIND, MATTER AND GOD : JIVA, JADA AND ISVARA M.M.NINAN Islam began as a legalistic religion in the early 6 th century. It is considered as a reaction to the deterioration of Christian culture in Arabia. The usual date of beginning of Islam is given as 622 AD when Mohemed fled from Mecca to Medina. The visions of Mohamed and his revelations form the basis of Quran. The Islam placed little more than a code of ethics combined with a set of rituals. The faithful who observed observance of these was deemed sufficient to satisfy every man's religious quest and ensure him a place in heaven. God is considered as the totally other being who demanded worship and absolute obedience. In that it is dvaitic dualistic theology. During the Ummayad period, Islam made direct contact with Eastern Christianity and other oriental religions, a deeply mystical movement arose within its realm. The movement is known as Sufism (tasawwuf) and its followers are known as Sufis. In India it resonated with the Bhakthi movement and falls at the same period. he Bhakti Movement took place in south India between the 7th and 12th centuries. It moved to North India under the scholars like Namdeva (14th centuries) and Ramananda (14th century). The ideas were taken up by Kabir and Nanak, who made a strong plea for Hindu-Muslim unity. 12 orders or silsilahs existed at that time which falls under two groups: Ba-shara (those who followed the Islamic law) and Be-shara (those who were not bound by Islamic law). The two orders which acquired importance in India were the Chisti and Surhawardi silsilahs. The most famous of the Chisti saints were Nizam- ud-Din Auliya and Nasir-ud-Din Chirag-i-Delhi. Ali is considered to be the "Father of Sufism" in Islamic tradition. 199
