- Scope & Content:
-
This manuscript was composed by Al Hajj Umar Tāl and was completed on the third day of a month of Ramadan of the Islamic year 1244/1230. According to notes from the custodian, the manuscript's completion date is included in the text but is only encoded in the manuscript's title through some Arabic alphabetical numerology. The manuscript is very popular in the West African Muslim community and even beyond. The author composed the text as a commentary on another manuscript, Jawahir al-Ma'ani (Jewels of Meaning), which was composed by Sidi Ali Harazim Baradah recording the teachings of Tijaniyya Sufi founder Shaykh Ahmad al-Tijāni. The content of Tāl's Rimah covers several topics pertaining to Islam in general, but focusing promarily on the Tijaniyya Sufi path. The manuscript is, therefore, a Sufi commentary in defense of the famous teachings of the author's spiritual master. It pulls from the teachings of al-Tijāni as recorded by Baradah, from the Qur'an, from the Sharia (Islamic law), and from the Sunnah (the normative reports about Prophet Muhammad's sayings and deeds). The manuscript contains 55 parts.
Ce manuscrit a été composé par Al Hajj Umar Tāl et a été achevé le troisième jour d'un mois de Ramadan de l'année islamique 1244. Selon un membre de la famille Tāl, la date d'achèvement du manuscrit est incluse dans le texte mais n'est encodée que dans le titre du manuscrit a travers une numérologie alphabétique. Le manuscrit est très populaire dans la communauté musulmane ouest-africaine et même au-delà. L'auteur a composé le texte en commentaire d'un autre manuscrit, Jawahir al-Ma'ani (Joyaux de sens), qui a été composé par Sidi Ali Harazim Baradah, enregistrant les enseignements du fondateur soufi de Tijaniyya, Shaykh Ahmad al-Tijāni. Le contenu de Rimah couvre plusieurs sujets se rapportant à l'islam en général, mais en se concentrant de manière prometteuse sur le chemin soufi Tijaniyya. Le manuscrit est donc un commentaire soufi en défense des célèbres enseignements du maître spirituel de l'auteur. Il s'inspire des enseignements d'al-Tijāni tels qu'ils sont enregistrés par Baradah, du Coran, de la Sharia (loi islamique) et de la Sunnah (les rapports normatifs sur les paroles et les actes du Prophète Muhammad). Le manuscrit contient 55 parties.
