Mirzā Mazhar Jān-i Jānān (), also known by his laqab Shamsuddīn Habībullāh (1699–1781), was a renowned Naqshbandī Sufi poet of Delhi, distinguished as one the "four pillars of Urdu poetry."〔And Muhammad is His Messenger: The Veneration of the Prophet in Islamic piety, by Annemarie Schimmel (Chappel hill: The University of North Carolina Press, 1985)〕 He was also known to his contemporaries as the ''sunnītarāsh'', "Sunnicizer", for his absolute, unflinching commitment to and imitation of the Sunnah of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.〔 He established the Naqshbandī suborder Mazhariyya Shamsiyya. ==His birth and early life== The date of birth is variously given as 1111 or 1113 A.H, and it took place in Kālā Bāgh, Mālwa. Shaikh Muhammad Tahir Bakhshi notes his date of birth as 11th Ramadan 1111 AH.〔 His father Mirzā Jān was employed in the army of the mighty Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. Following a custom according to which the Emperor had the right to name the sons of his officers, Aurangzeb is reported to have said:〔Medieval Muslim views of Indian religion, Y. Friedmann, JOAS 95, 1975.〕 "A son is the soul of his father. Since the name of his father is Mirzā Jān, the name of the son will be Jān-i Jānān." His early religious instruction was entrusted to ''hājjī'' Afzal Siyālkōtī (hadith) and ''hāfiz'' Abd al-Rasūl Dihlawī (Qur'an). At the age of 18, he joined the Naqshbandī order under Nūr Muhammad Bada'ūni, who was closely connected to the teachings of Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindī, and completed his studies in four years. He was also initiated in the Qādirī, Chishtī and Suhrawardī orders.〔 In his prime, Mazhar was advised to write poetry in Urdu rather than Persian as the days of the latter language were said to be numbered in India. Besides authoring poetry and polemics, Mazhar also wrote a large number of letters relating to Sufi thought and practice. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mirza Mazhar Jan-e-Janaan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
