The Temporal World -a shadow play- Court and Urban Shadow Plays of the 11th to 14th Centuries
Abstract :
This article draws attention, through quotations cited from contemporary figures, to the importance of the shadow plays of the 10th to 14th c. and of the attention drawn to the significance of shadows in the temporal world that is provided by Sura Al-Nahl and Sura Al-Furqan. This is because the key point about the shadow play was and remains its form and the hierarchy of existence that is expressed through its form. The shadow play was and remains a visible expression of tawheed, as The mover of all was only One, as stated by al-Qadi al-Fadil to Salahad-Din Eyyub in the 12th century.
