Rahman

From LiberationMUSH Wiki


Abdul'Rahman Hosseini

“And to Him belong the armies of the heavens and the earth.”

“Allah has 99 Names, and whoever preserves them will enter paradise.”

Background

He was born in Southern California in the early 1980s, the first child of parents who had fled the Iranian Revolution with little more than documents and memories. Their Islam was not loud. It was disciplined, poetic, rooted in Persian Sufi traditions that emphasized remembrance (dhikr), humility, and the slow polishing of the heart. He grew up trilingual, moving between English at school, Arabic for Islam, and Persian at home. Caught in between American normalcy and inherited exile.

Now, Rahman lives quietly on the Westside, still teaching, still attending Mosque, still part of the fabric of an ordinary religious community. He dresses plainly, eschews most material goods, but moves easily through modern life.

RP Hooks

Sufi Muslim: Rahman is a Sufi Muslim, known among the community to be devout in the ways that count, generous, kind, and disciplined.

Modern American: Rahman has seen movies, watched TV, been on dates with women. He owns a computer, Playstation, and a smart phone, and tries to embody tradition without falling into stereotype

Techno-Mystic: A Tradition Mage, Rahman has been in the area most of his whole life but tends to stick to his own community. He favors traditional Islamic sorcery, but is fascinated by modern paradigms and something of an Ecumenist.

The One Ring: Rahman wears a ring that he never takes off. When asked he usually tells people it's a family heirloom, We needs it, my precious.
