Reflection on the Principles of the Chishtīyah Sect in Mir Abdul Wahid Bilgirami’s Sabaa Sanaabil with an Emphasis on the School of Semantics

In the field of mysticism, there is a huge volume of literary works, in prose and poetry, in Persian or Arabic, the content of which is diverse, ranging from wisdom, philosophy, interpretation of the Qur'an to hadith. The theory of Sufi beliefs and terms, and the expression of love, knowledge, and the critique of reason, and the proof of the agreement of the way with the Shari'a, ethics, customs, monastic customs, and the history of the elders, and the expression of dreams, revelations, and eloquent words are ecstatic. One of the branches of mysticism is the school of semantics, which has seven major literary indicators. Mir Abdul Wahid Ibn Ibrahim Ibn Qutbuddin Ibn Mahro Bilgirami (1161-1095 AH) is one of the most experienced and mystical scholars of India whose mystical school is Chishtī and the book "Sabaa Sanaabil" is one of his works. The aim of the researcher in this article is to introduce and study the customs, beliefs and ideas of the Chishtīyah sect in "Sabaa Sanaabil" by Mir Abdul Wahid Bilgirami with an emphasis on the school of semantics and its indicators, through a descriptive-analytical method. While introducing Bilgirami, authors criticize the intellectual and mystical foundations of his works. Findings indicate that intellectually, the author is greatly influenced by the intellectual mentality of the Chishtī sect, such as the veil, the etiquette of the disciple, the dhikr, meditation, listening, ‘Shariatmadari’, etc., so that he has discussed and referred to the ideas and intellectual foundations of the Chishtī sect.
