Mullah Nasrudin (2007) |
6'
| ||
|
for violin solo Order No: 6649, sFr. 12.00, 8.00 Mullah Nasrudin is simultaneously a sage, a fool, a master, a beggar, a magistrate, a teacher and a doctor figure in the Arabian tree. He appears in many stories, each of which can be perceived as superficial and funny but also contain a hidden proposition. It is for the latter reason that the stories of Nasrudin are deeply anchored in the tradition of Sufism (Islamic mysticism) where the Sheikhs use them as teaching stories for their dervishes. The first written reference of such a Nasrudin story can be found as far back as the 13th century. The name Nasr ed-Din means "victory of the faith". Nasreddin is always in the Muslim faith! A historical Nasrudin most probably lived between the 13th and 14th centuries in Anatolia or Persia where he worked as a spiritual teacher. Konya in Turkey and Iran are his probable last resting places. As with other people from tradition, the present day Nasrudin is not an authentic historical figure. He is known in all Islamic regions, including Afghanistan, Iran and Tadzhikistan, with many local miracles being ascribed to him. | |||
