| 释义 | fakir (once / 5910 pages) n A fakir is a Muslim Sufi holy man or woman who lives on only what he or she gets by begging. A fakir is a kind of wandering Middle Eastern or South Asian monk. Most fakirs follow the Islamic faith, or its more mystical practice, Sufism, though there are also fakirs in Hinduism. As many religions do, Islam places importance on the idea of giving up worldly goods — a fakir owns nothing, only eating what he begs for. In Arabic, in fact, faqir means "poor man." Pronounce fakir with an emphasis on the last syllable, which sounds like "keer."
