SUFIJSKI MOTIVI U BOSANSKOM PJESNIŠTVU (MOTIV VINA, LJUBAVI I LJEPOTE)
MOTIVES OF SUFISM IN BOSNIAN POETRY (MOTIVES OF VINE, LOVE AND BEAUTY)

Summary/Abstract: Budding and true development of our literature, poetry as well as in prose was initiated with the arrival of Islam. Becoming a part of the Islamic culture and civilisation, our authors, inspired by oriental literary heritage, particularly regarding divan poetry, have written verses often with complexity of expression, content, deep spiritual message and exceptional talent surpassing often the verses of their predecessors who inspired them. Themes and motives that stirred the inspiration of our poets are numerous. Tasawwuf is the most inspiring and most inherent theme of our poetry. Sufis view of the world and the life and their system of living that was often practiced by our poets, has greatly influenced their writing. The impact of this type of writing has a particular significance in presenting this spiritual-cognitive aspect of the awareness of our people. It is a specifically notable tendency of our poets to stir the true feeling of affection for God in our people thus waking within a desire to set one’s life path in accordance to His will. Reading their work we may notice three basic dominating motives: love, vine and beauty.
