Dr. Carl Ernst on the Story of Sufi Mystic منصور الحلاج Mansur al-Hallaj

An Informal Sitting with ڈاکٹر کارل ارنسٹ Dr. Carl Ernst on the 9th Century Sufi Mystic منصور الحلاج Mansur al-Hallaj.

Dr. Ernst is The KENAN Distinguished Professor of Islamic Studies at the
Department of Religious Studies at the یو نیورسٹی آف نارتھ کارولائنہ University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is also the director of the Carolina Center for the Study of the Middle East and Muslim Civilizations.

Dr. Ernst has recently translated the poetry of Mansur al-Hallaj in a book titled Hallaj: Poems of a Sufi Martyr (Published 2018). "In Hallaj, Carl W. Ernst offers a definitive collection of 117 of Hallaj’s poems expertly translated for contemporary readers interested in Middle Eastern and Sufi poetry and spirituality."

"Abu ‘l-Moghith al-Hosain ibn Mansur al-Hallaj was born near al-Baiza’ in the province of Fars. He travelled very widely, first to Tostar and Baghdad, then to Mecca, and afterwards to Khuzestan, Khorasan, Transoxiana, Sistan, India and Turkestan. Eventually he returned to Baghdad, where his bold preaching of union with God caused him to be arrested on a charge of incarnationism.

He was condemned to death and cruelly executed on 29 Dhu ‘l-Qa’da 309 (28 March 9I3). Author of a number of books and a considerable volume of poetry, he passed into Muslim legend as the prototype of the intoxicated lover of God."
