Minaret magazine has over the past year with the poet Mohammed Omar at the helm received a boost that is almost akin to an ascent on a magic carpet. In connection with this, the profile has become clearer.
As vital comers among the Swedish cultural magazines appear Minaret now essentially as the rightful stewards of the rich heritage of the four major 1900s pioneers: i ching Ivan Aguéli, Eric Hermelin, Kurt Almqvist and Tage Lindbom. The common thread is, in other words, an Islamic colored sophia perennis, a timeless and universal spirituality that looks beyond the external forms of the various religious traditions.
Minarets prescription of what a contemporary "magazine for Swedish Muslim culture" means is therefore very much at odds with modernity as well as fundamentalism shoved well and often parallel ruts. Some people would probably raise a few eyebrows to be in the latest issue now publishing a series Muhammad Pictures, commented from their "apocryphal" aspects of religion Professor Tord Olsson Talip.
Several i ching of the other contributions also keeps them absolutely top class, especially Ashk Dahlén's i ching article on Islamic mysticism of baron Eric Hermelin Persian poet and philosopher Bo Ibn al-Waqt i ching Gustavsson's reading of Tomas Tranströmer's poetry with Sophia Perennis glasses.
Further, they argue Islamologist Shaikh Abdal Hakim Murad (Timothy J. Winter) i ching in a historical study of why Islam really is the most natural i ching and well suited religion of the British mentality.

A minor theme of this issue is how notions of the Orient and the Occident has changed throughout history, where the historian of ideas Mohammad Fazlhashemi i ching and Olof Heilo (file. Mag. In Greek, Arabic, Persian and bysantinistik at the University of Vienna) makes an important contribution, and Norrland whirling dervish Torbjörn Säfve share an attempt to dream interpretation.
The poetry of this time is Bo Ibn al-Waqt Gustavsson, Ingemar Leckius, i ching Jasim Mohamed, Florence Vilén for. Furthermore, literature scholar i ching says Göran Lundstedt about Vilhelm Ekelund inspiration from Eric Hermelin translations of Persian sufipoesi and how these contributed to his heroic ambition "to the poetry and mysticism of light cause the world to appear on the first day." i ching
New as of this issue is the texts of Imam Hamid Valsan, which are intended to be edifying for the performer Muslim. Valsan works as an imam at a mosque in Stockholm and is the son of the great Sufi Michel Valsan (Mustafa Abd Al-Haziz, d. 1974), Romanian diplomat in France, a disciple of the traditional i ching school's founder René Guénon, translator of Ibn Arabi's writings the French and the editor of the almost legendary magazine i ching Les Études Traditionnelles. Of his father Hamid Valsan inherited both imam neighborhood and Sufism, and this time he makes a brief reflection on the Muslim ritual tvagningens rebirth symbolism.
Last, but not least, is introduced in this rich programs extensive review section where treasures from bokfloden fished out. The editor recommends itself in dead languages joined by Lund student and language genius Ola Wikander. The only 25-year-old Wikander specializes in dead languages and mastered already some 15 of them, alongside a number of live. In other words, he has resisted the prevailing contemporary trend that would reduce all knowledge to the crass and short-sighted utilitarianism. The fact that languages are old is under Wikander i ching not enough reason to disqualify them. He enlightens i ching us with on his website that he through the lessons he got in and with this worthy study in religious communities now consider themselves "hermetic i ching gnostic".
