Günlük Ahlak Olarak Otorite: Şeyh Hamiduddin Nagauri ve On Üçüncü Yüzyıl Rajputana'da Topluluklar Arası Adanmışlık

Özet (abstract)

This study examines the moral authority of Shaikh Hamiduddin Nagauri (1192–1274 AD) in the Hindu–Jain environment of thirteenth-century Rajputana. It argues that his authority was shaped less by doctrinal accommodation than by an everyday ethics that made Chishti sanctity intelligible across social and religious boundaries. Subsistence-based livelihood, household austerity, vernacular accessibility, distance from patronage, and a discipline of non-harm together formed a style of conduct that could be publicly recognised as morally credible. The study draws on a genre-sensitive reading of Chishti tazkira and malfūẓāt texts alongside a local manuscript tradition, treating these materials as institutional memory rather than transparent social description. It also considers Nagaur's later devotional life as a possible afterlife of this ethical credibility. Given the archive's predominantly hagiographical and retrospective character, the study does not claim to reconstruct social reality directly or to prove cross-community reception in a complete sense. Instead, it shows how ethical discipline was represented as a basis of saintly authority in a plural regional setting.
