Jinn and Divs as the Other
The present paper analyzes the origins of certain motifs of demonizing the “other” in classical Islamic tradition. It reveals the main trends in the development of this mythologem based off of textual analysis. The material for the analysis is a body of Arabic and Persian texts of different genres: history (al-Tabari, al-Juwayni, Khvandamir, Sharaf al-Din Bidlisi), geography ('adja’ib), folklore (“The Thousand and One Nights”), epic poetry (Firda…
The Institution of Zoroastrian Marriage Xwēdōdah
This paper deals with the famous Zoroastrian marriage xwēdōdah. This form of marriage refers to the conjugal union of father and daughter, mother and son, brother and sister. Zoroastrianism of the Sassanid era made this institution a key element of religion, along with offering meal (mēzd) and seasonal holidays (gāhānbār). The question of whether this institution is a part of ancient Iranian legacy or has emerged later, is still controversial amo…

Šahīd is rarely encountered there in meaning ‘martyr’.In al-Bukharī and Muslim’s ḥadīth, the concept of ‘martyr’ begins to acquire a specific topic. The…
The Problem of Free Will and Predestination in the Light of Satan’s Justification in Early Sufism
This article examines the story of Iblīs’s disobedience in early Sufism. The motif of justifying and condemning Satan is a characteristic feature of the ideological heritage of some Sufis. The first Sufi line estimates Satan as a sufferer and a sacrifice of God’s predestination. Al-Ḥallāj’s teaching became the climax of this tradition for early Sufism. The second line of this discourse is connected with criticism of Satan’s role. The central figu…
