Fakir (English spelling)

Japanese: ファキール(英語表記)faqīr
Fakir (English spelling)
A person who practices mystical practices in the Islamic world. The literal meaning in Arabic is "the poor." It is often used to mean the poor in a spiritual sense rather than the poor in a material sense. It is used to mean a person who is powerless against a self-sufficient God and must depend on God for everything and ask for his assistance. In general, it is often used in the same sense as Sufis and Dervishes, who are practitioners of Islamic mysticism. [Kiichi Furubayashi]

Japanese:
イスラム世界において神秘的修行を行う者。アラビア語での文字どおりの意味は〈貧者〉。物質的意味での貧者というより精神的意味での貧者の意味で使われることが多い。自己充足的な神に対しては無力で,なにごとも神に依存し,その援助を求めなくてはならない者の意味で用いられる。一般的には,イスラム神秘主義における修行者であるスーフィーやデルウィーシュと同じ意味で使われることが多い。【古林 清一】
