Ribaat (English spelling) ribāṭ

Japanese: リバート(英語表記)ribāṭ
Ribaat (English spelling) ribāṭ
Sufi monasteries. Originally, they were fortresses built in border areas by Islamic warriors engaged in jihad against non-believers. As mystical thought spread, from around the 13th century, the term came to mean Sufi monasteries, and became a place for them to live together. While similar facilities called khanqas are common in Iran and India, they are widely distributed in Arabic-speaking areas such as Iraq, Syria, Egypt, and North Africa. [Furubayashi Seiichi]

スーフィーの修道場。元来は異教徒とのジハードに従事するイスラムの戦士たちが国境地帯につくった砦のことであった。神秘主義思想が広まるにつれ,13世紀のころからスーフィーの修道場の意味で使われるようになり,彼らの共同生活の場となった。類似した施設であるハーンカーがイランやインドに多いのに対し,イラク,シリア,エジプト,北アフリカなどのアラビア語地域に広く分布している。【古林 清一】
