Summary/Abstract: The Muslim tradition brought secondary and sectarian literature on up- front and made its followers paralyzed by the confines of theological structures de- activating any human potentials bestowed upon them. Any attempt for aesthetic and artistic creativity expressing human emotional capacity could be easily condemned and banned for being against the Sharia law. Thus, human life becomes a subject of thorough surveillance under the light of sectarian, secondary and tertiary, narra- tives. This dilemma creates a conflict between the dynamic human powers of creativ- ity and historically accumulated mindsets. This paper aims at investigating instan- ces of this tension and finding some alternative responses to the problems it poses.
