Description
Summary:Abū Dharr Al-Ghifārī, a companion of Prophet Muhammad, has been a focal point for various intellectual movements within the Islamic world across many centuries. His traditions and moral sayings have been extensively explored, particularly in the context of personal and social ethics. This study aims to delve into the moral thought reflected in the narrations attributed to Abū Dharr, with a focus on his personal and intellectual conduct—specifically, the dimensions of moral behavior that persist even when social ties are severed. Assuming the authenticity of these narrations, this study seeks to discern the nature of intellectual conduct that Abū Dharr espoused. Through an analysis of the extant narratives and a reevaluation of the ontological and anthropological perspectives they present, we aim to elucidate the portrayal of the ultimate good for humanity and the means to attain it. The study further endeavors to deduce the guidelines for individual conduct as prescribed in these narrations. Our findings offer insights into the symbolic representation of Abū Dharr in the collective memory of Muslims. The correlation between the historical figure of Abū Dharr and this symbolic image, as well as the origins of his musings and their relation to the thoughts of his fellow Companions, are topics reserved for subsequent research.
