The Return of the "Hanif"

                         Become a "hanif," free from restrictions of sect. 

                                            Come into the cloister of faith like a monk.

                                                            Shabistari, Gulshan-i Raz (960, Persian)

A "hanif" is a primitive Abrahamic pietist and religious pluralist. See also Qur'an 2:285.

Muslim supersessionism (like Christian supersessionism) has effected a hermeneutical transformation of the scripture into a sectarian text.

"Hanifism" is a return to the heritage of Ibrahim, hanifan, musliman. It returns the Qur'an to the family of Abraham.

The politics of poetry

 "If political consciousness can be defined in the first degree as sympathy with the woes of one's fellow man, all poetry, even the most seemingly metaphysical, is also unavoidably political."

                ~ Leonard Lewisohn, Beyond Faith and Infidelity, 55.
