The Sufism of the Rubáiyát, or, the Secret of the Great Paradox
Omar Khayyam's 'The Sufism of the Rubáiyát' (1909) connects the Persian poet's quatrains to Sufi metaphysics.
This volume unpacks Omar Khayyam's Rubáiyát through the lens of Sufi thought. It argues that the poet's verses, often read as purely carpe diem reflections, actually contain deeper spiritual meanings aligned with Islamic mysticism. The book examines how concepts like divine love, the nature of reality, and the path to spiritual realization are encoded within Khayyam's seemingly simple quatrains. It posits that the "great paradox" refers to the Sufi understanding of unity between the Creator and creation, a concept often misunderstood in secular interpretations. The text aims to reveal the esoteric underpinnings of the Rubáiyát, suggesting a hidden Sufi commentary woven into the poetic fabric. Readers will find an interpretation that seeks to reconcile the outward form of the poetry with an inner mystical doctrine.
