Brethren of Purity - A Cult of Islamic Philosophers
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ส.ค. 2024
- The Brethren of Purity or "Ikhwan as Safa" were a 10th Century Medieval philosophical-religious cult based in the lush riverside city of Basra. Inspired by the esoteric ideas of the earlier Greek Philosopher's cult - the Pythagoreans - these mysterious mystics sought to merge religion and mathematics to define the world around them in numerical terms.
Conglomerating their ideas in their seminal "Epistles of the Brethren of Purity", this Creepy Cult of Philosophers would greatly influence later Medieval philosophers with their ideas surrounding the divinity of the philosophical method, and their esoteric interpretations of scripture.
This is part five of our series on Islamic philosophy and this is our first video in the series covering esoteric Islamic philosophy.

If you're coming across our channel for the first time, be sure to Subscribe. We post philosophy videos every other month. Our next video will be on the Medieval Arab Christian Philosopher "Yahya Ibn Adi". Stay tuned! And thanks as always guys for the outpouring support ❤😊
Fascinating content and amazing narration. Dont ever stop
Thanks so much! We will be sure to continue making videos for as long as we can
The Oases of Wisdom project is a great one and I am compelled to salute you for the excellent videos you've created. As someone who's been born in the middle east but currently lives in the west, my interest in ancient philosophy (The Greeks) alongside my Islamic roots have fought to find commonality and your videos illucidating the many polymaths of the mideval period and their study and incorporating of the ancients are true treasures. Keep up the good work 🙏
You're a legend for bringing this video to light.
Thanks so much. Massively appreciated!
This is so interesting! Thanks for disseminating this knowledge!!
This was such a fascinating video, with an interesting view of science and religion, as well as how they complemented each other. This is something we steered away from in recent times, however, I feel we should come back to it and see it from a modern lens.
The editing and information of the videos in this channel is insanely amazing and underrated.
I would love to see a video on Al Ghzali. Keep up the good work
Inspiring to see your style evolve thematically and visually 👏🏼👏🏼
Mashallah lovely video, p.s. the T in epistle is silent.
Very interesting! Never heard of this or thought such a group would exist. Thanks for bringing this to light. Well researched!
I very much liked the way you spoke prior the Abu Hanifa video more than now. Talking a little faster nowadays is more important than speaking clearly in my opinion. Thanks for the effort.👍
Thanks for the feedback. We’ll keep that noted going forward.
Have you read anything about Fakhruddin Razi? If so, is there any of his book translated to english? I would love to ready and study about him but it seems like almost impossible to read his original works
Fakhr al Din al Razi is a thinker we hope to cover soon in our philosophy series. His magnum opus is an exegetical work on the Quran named ‘مفاتيح الغيب’ (Keys to the unknown) or more commonly known as التفسير الكبير (The Great Commentary). You can find most of his original ideas in this 32 volume work! If you want to read in English I would recommend Sohaib Saeed’s translation. You should be able to find the first volume on Amazon. Hope this helps!
The ideal man is of East Persian derivation, of Arabic faith, of Iraqi, that is Babylonian, in education, Hebrew in astuteness, a disciple of Christ in conduct, as pious as a Syrian monk, a Greek in natural sciences, an Indian in the interpretation of mysteries and, above all a Sufi or a mystic in his whole spiritual outlook - The Brethren
Awesome video, I love it
Hello this is the best video yet. I was also curious about the background music during the entire video it would be great if you provided that. Jazakallah Khayran.
Hey, thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. The background music is all free to content creators from TH-cam studios. If you can put down a specific time stamp on a song you liked I can check which one we used.
The music in the Introduction part, The brethren of purity part, The Historical context, the epistles of the brethren of purity and the Beauty of philosophy. Those are the time stamps in the video I would love it if you would give me the music you used In each of these timestamps. Jazakallah Khayran.
If you found it please type the music in the comment as a list. Jazakallah Khayran.

Thank you
Thank you!
It feels like Brethren of Purity is some Muslim version of the Illuminati.
@Ayaan K Sto-
They infact play a part in the orgin of the Rosicrucianis and Freemasons.
𐤎𐤄𐤉𐤄
And it indeed was.
Fun fact: the brethren of purity were the first to believe in Evolution.
If you soak the beans overnight, your gut won't be filled with souls seeking to escape.
Underrated comment 😂
qualitty of the video is 10/10
We really appreciate it! Plz consider sharing our content to whoever you think would enjoy it. It really helps us a lot.
Make a video on Khalid ibn Walid
Stay tuned and make sure to share our content with your friends! Hopefully one day we will do a series on political leaders from the Middle East where Khalid Waleed will be most relevant.
Khalid Ibn Waleed**
you cant find the book today
has taken from 'allamah Thoba'thoba'i thought (although he was a Shiite)
The relationship between God and His creatures is like the relation between the number of one and zero, ie
1 + 0 = 1 meant God couldn't added with His creature, because the result is he still be the only One.
1 X 0 = 0 meant God couldn't multiplied to be many, because the many is those are still creatures.
1 - 0 = 1 if do you wanna reduce God, the result is, He had no reduced, He still be Him.
1 : 0 = your calculator will said: couldn't devide (Him) by zero...
Oh yeah ofcourse. why we do bussiness if an empty as its result?
I really want to know why they think beans had human souls in them?
From what I could uncover, Pythagoras believed beans contained human souls because he believed humans may have been re-incarnated as beans. This is because, according to a source, he performed an experiment where he noticed a planted faba bean looks like a human fetus. Hence, he basically thought eating means was cannibalism and squashing beans was murder.
What?! Beans contain souls? How on earth did he reach that conclusion? 🌍
(Great video btw♥)
Thanks! Much appreciated. Pythagoras allegedly claimed to that conclusion under the premise that faba beans when planted grow to resemble a human fetus. And because Pythagoras believed in human reincarnation, it seemed possible humans could be reincarnated or transmigrated into beans.
Generally, cultures that believe in reincarnation tend to believe in the power of the fetus-shape. As the comment above states, beans have that shape.
Can't wai5
The esoteric Islam is a replica of esoteric thinking that began with what most call Gnostic Christians today.
I do not think they invented any new thought that Gnostics had not already formulated.
But they improved it and made it more attractive to the general public by introducing passion and divine love
@@krimokrimov6050 Insightful. That is what Gnostic Christianity does.
@@Justafoolagain Muslims did it better and made it open to all people and not a secret religion
@@krimokrimov6050 Perhaps. Hard to see it as open when they kill their apostates and devalue women and LGBTQ+.
@@Justafoolagain You're exaggerating and you're measuring things according to today's very progressive California democrat Gen Z
