Islamic Mysticism and it's Elements in the Poetry of Abdur Rahman Baba
Abdur Rahman Baba, a Pashto Poet, has not been discussed in international literature, very little. The aim of this study is to look deep into the poetry of Abdur Rahman Baba, to find out Islamic Mystical elements like love and subjugation towards Allah, devotion towards Prophet Muhammad, the last messenger, then love, care and concern for humanity. Few characteristics and thoughts from the philosophy of a well-known Islamic Mystic and scholar Maulana Rumi have been used to give a theoretical structure to this paper. These three points were tried to extend from his poetry. The verses were selected and examined through lenses of Islamic Mysticism and the way they are embedded in his poetry.By the end of this research paper, the readers will come to know about the Sufi poet Abdur Rahman Baba and his contribution to the local literature
