穆吉卜·阿比德博士在近日的文章中回顾了自己在阿富汗数十年冲突中的成长经历。[1]作者见证了该国从1980年代的马克思列宁主义秩序、经历1990年代的宗教内战，再到2001年后美国占领的多个历史时期。[1]
在长期的政治动荡中，阿比德强调传统伊斯兰信仰中的苏菲主义具有千年历史渊源，超越于各种意识形态危机之上。[1]他以祖父、祖母和第一位教师的信仰实践，以及所在村庄社区的精神想象为例，阐述了这一精神传统如何成为阿富汗人民文化认同和韧性的核心。[1]在众多古典文献中，包括法里德·乌丁·阿塔尔的《鸟的会议》、鲁米的《精神诗句》以及贝迪尔·德赫拉维的《四元素》等作品，都体现了这一深厚的精神遗产。[1]
阿富汗将在周三庆祝独立日。[1]
Dr. Mujeeb Abid reflects on Afghanistan's tumultuous modern history through the lens of its spiritual traditions in a Sydney Morning Herald perspective piece.[1] The author recounts growing up during multiple phases of upheaval, including the Marxist-Leninist order of the 1980s, the religiously-driven civil conflict of the 1990s, and the American occupation that followed 2001.[1]
Rather than viewing these ideological struggles as definitive of Afghan identity, Abid argues that Sufism—the mystical dimension of traditional Islamic faith with roots spanning a millennium—transcends the divisive political crises that have marked the nation's contemporary experience.[1] Drawing on personal memory, the author describes the spiritual practices of family members and village community leaders, emphasizing how this inner faith tradition has sustained Afghan resilience and cultural continuity.[1] Classical works of Sufi literature, including Farid al-Din Attar's "The Conference of the Birds," Rumi's "Spiritual Verses," and Bedir al-Din al-Dehlavi's "Four Elements," are cited as enduring expressions of this heritage.[1]
Afghanistan marks its Independence Day on Wednesday.[1]
