The
concept of Burûz in Sufism is meant to describe the phenomenon of a soul
attaining Faid from another soul. The soul which is manifesting is
called Mabrûz Fîh, and that which is manifested is called Bâriz.
Khwaja Ghulam Farid of Chachran, while explaining the concept of Buruz and its
difference from Tanasukh (reincarnation), mentioned the saying of Ibn Arabi
that Prophet Elias was in fact a Buruz of the earlier Prophet Idris. Both
Prophets are mentioned in the Qur’an, though some exegetes have identified them
as one and the same person. For example, it is mentioned in Sahih al-Bukhari
the view of both Ibn Mas’ud and Ibn Abbas (Radi Allahu anhuma):
يُذْكَرُ عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَابْنِ
عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ إِلْيَاسَ هُوَ إِدْرِيسُ
Other
exegetes such as Qatada, Muhammad b. Ishaq, and Dahhak believed likewise
(Tafsir Ibn Kathir).
Regarding
Buruz, Khwaja Ghulam Farid says:
اور بروز یہ ہے کہ ایک روح دوسرے اکمل
روح سے فیضان حاصل کرتی ہے جب اس پر تجلّیات کا فیضان ہوتا ہے تو وہ اس کا مظہر بن
جاتی ہے اور کہتی ہے کہ میں وہ ہوں یعنی دونوں میں فرق نہیں رہتا
“Burooz is that a soul gains benefit from
another one which is perfect. When it receives the benefit of Divine
illumination, it becomes its manifestation, and says: I am that one, that is,
no difference remains between the two.”
