The author collates diverse materials on Sumaniyyah from various Arabic sources to analyze and characterize them. Beginning with the term’s origin, Sumaniyyah’s etymology, homonymy and historical background are explored to clarify similarities and differences between what was called Sumaniyyah and Buddhism. The methodology used is qualitative description and content analysis with a focus on what early Muslim scholars wrote on Sumaniyyah until the 13th century of hijrah. The writers, highlight key doctrines including the transmigration of soul, idol worship, concepts of universe and creation, the belief in prophecy, the belief in the world’s eternal nature, and limitations on certain types of knowledge. |
