Topic: Firdous e Bareen


  
  Encyclopedia: Firdous e Bareen
Firdous e Bareen (or فردوس برین in Persian and Urdu) was the name of the garden made by Hassan-i-Sabah and his band of Nizari Ismaili Shiite fugitives (the Hashshashin) in the Elburz mountains of Northern Iran, imitating paradise or heaven.
This paradise was furnished with all luxuries of life, even a rivulet of wine and was used to recruit assassins to Hassan's militia.
The famous novel Firdous e Bareen written by Indian Muslim novelist Abdul Halim Sherer gives a biographical account of Hassan, a youth lured and captured by Hassan's men and then forced into his assassination machinery.

The title of the novel is Firdous E Iblees (the Satan's Paradise) written by Inayat Ullah.
Sharar intentionally avoided to use Hasan bin sabah's name in Firdos e Bareen while Inayat ullah's novel is more realistic showing the geo political and socio economic scene of Islamic empire at that time.
