Dictionary on
Fakir Fakir (Arabic) (from faqir poor) An Islamic religious mendicant, synonymous with dervish; the term is loosely applied to any mendicant devotee or yogi in India. According to T. P. Hughes, there are five principal orders of fakirs in North India and Pakistan: the Naqshbandia, Qadiria, Chishtia, Jalalia, and Sarwardia -- all being ba-shara (with the law) fakirs -- those who govern their conduct according to the principles of Islam. Fakirs should not be confounded with sannyasins or Hindu yogis. (See also: Fakir, Mysticism, Mysticism Dictionary, Occultism, Occultism Dictionary)

| | |  Fakir: Guru Gobind Singh's Service to Humanity Guru Gobind Singh was no ordinary mortal. The signs were there right from his birth. In 1666, on the Guru's birth, a pious Muslim fakir, Sayyad Bhikhan Shah, declared: "God has sent a new light on this earth". He then decided to test the newborn 'prince'. Producing two jars of sweets obtained from a Hindu and a Muslim vendor, Bhikhan Shah tried to learn the child's preference from the jar he touched. The baby, however, clutched both jars and smiled, whereupon the fakir acknowledged him to be a master of both communities.

Meets Bahlol In BaghdadGuru Nanak Meets Bahlol In Baghdad Baghdad was, in Nanak's time, a centre of Muslim culture - it was home to pirs and sufi fakirs.

Bahlol said that the Qur'an had mentioned seven earths and seven heavens only. Guru Nanak urged that the universe was not confined to seven earths and seven heavens but had millions and millions of planets and worlds and the Guru greeted all in the name of Sat Kartar.

Different View Of Islam Sufism A Different View Of Islam & Sufism For Anne-Marie Schimmel, Islam was a lifelong passion, as deep as her own roots in the Lutheran faith. Church rituals were as dear to her as bowing in prayer at Sufi shrines. Sitting in Bonn she dreamed of Bijapur and Bidar, talked of her friend Allan Fakir in Sindh and brooded over the problem of selecting a site for her burial in Sindh. This gentle woman, renowned scholar of Sufism, passed away in Germany recently. As gently as she had lived. Read more here: » Islam Sufism: A
