Abdul Devotee Devotees Islam Member Moslem Sect Sects Santon
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 18th century print depicts a devotee from the Abdul, Santon, or Kalender sect of Islam, deeply engrossed in his religious practices. The Abdul, Santon, or Kalender sect, also known as the "Wandering Dervishes," were a mystical and itinerant Muslim brotherhood that roamed the Middle East and North Africa. The devotee in this print is shown wearing traditional garb, including a long, flowing robe and a felt cap, or sikke, adorned with a crescent moon and star. In his hands, he holds a miswak, or tooth stick, and a misbahah, or prayer beads, both essential items for the daily ablutions and prayers that form the cornerstone of Islamic faith. The devotee's expression is one of deep concentration, as he recites verses from the Quran or engages in dhikr, the repetition of God's name as a means of spiritual purification. His eyes are closed, and his lips move in silent prayer, transporting him to a realm of communion with the divine. The background of the print is a rustic, natural setting, with trees and foliage framing the figure of the devotee. This setting serves to emphasize the connection between the natural world and the spiritual practices of the Abdul, Santon, or Kalender sect. The print's muted colors and intricate details capture the essence of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of Islamic devotional practices. This print is a powerful reminder of the enduring importance of faith and spirituality in the lives of people throughout history, and the deep connection between the human spirit and the natural world. It is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of religious traditions, and the profound impact they can have on individuals and communities alike.
