Where can you find a hieroglyphic chart translated into English?
I'm not clear on what your looking for, but I would think any good library and/or museum would have books & materials relating to this; however, I should say the "popular" stuff museums often pervey in this regard tend to be oversimplified & trivialized re interpretation vis-a-vis translation. Champollion's genius in deciphering the ancient Egyptian's hieroglyphs gave us their vocabulary, but not their mind-set of thinking; and without an understanding of this, their "deeper" meaning/purpose cannot be realized. If you're curious re this aspect, I suggest begining by reading: "Symbol & the Symbolic", "Esoterism & Symbol" and "The Temple in Man" by Rene A. Schwaller de Lubicz...
How did they invent hieroglyphics?
Re ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics: According to their traditions, it was brought to Egypt & taught to them by the god Toth (= Classical Greek Hermes) in the "primordial time." Recent discoveries show that picture symbol "tags" to represent things/goods for accounting purposes were being used there possibly before 7,000 years ago. Whatever, ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic writing is far more complex & profound than just the common simple literal interpretations/translations. It was their sacred writing (they used a liner script style of writing for everyday purposes). It operates on several levels beyond their "literal" meaning, containing all their esoteric metaphysical/alchemical ideas & thinking. The best works to gaining an understanding of their "deeper" meaning are: "Symbol & the Symbolic", ""Esoterism & Symbol" & "The Temple in Man" by Rene A. Schwaller de Lubicz...
When were hierogliphics invented?
The honest answer is uncertain & debatable, but before 5,000 years ago is most probable. Recent 6-7,000 year old evidence found in the Nile Valley shows "tags" with clever symbolic picture images being used there then to identify things (which technically qualifies their being the world's oldest known "writing," although these are essentially accounting records, not the elaborately sophisticated pictographic writing we think of as ancient Egyptian). According to ancient Egyptian tradition, the knowledge of what we call hieroglyphics was among the gifts brought by the god Toth (= Greek Hermes) before Egypt was Egypt; before the pyramids were built. Whatever, while Champollion's genius gave us the essential vocabulary of the ancient Egyptians understanding re the mind-set of the people & so the mythos of the "words" meanings was left wanting, and this has unfortunately resulted in largely prosaically pedantic translations that are often trivializing and even condescending. But if you're curious as to the "deeper" meaning of hieroglyphics vis-a-vis the ancient Egyptians mind, I suggest beginning with these works: "Fire in the Sky" by John Anthony West, and "Symbol & the Symbolic" & "Esoterism & Symbol" by Rene A. Schwaller de Lubicz. There is plenty of info relative to this question available from the usual sources, of course...

What impact did the hieroglyphics have on ancient Egyptians everyday life?
Hieroglyphics were the main written language of Ancient Egypt so that everyone could communicate in one general language. Hope this helps:) Man... I wrote down your answer................. and i got it wrong for my homework assignment! It said effects! More than one possibilities! Oh yeah! I'm in 6th grade everyone! Sorry for that... I think I know... v v v v v The answer is Egypt hieroglyphics wasn't use now only use in some country. They did not use it because they cannot understand it easily. I think this was correct... i know the right answer it is so they can cummnicate with others and it help historiians todays to know what was going on a long time ago ----------------------------- Well, for what it may be worth to you now, what we call hieroglyphics vis-a-vis the ancient Egyptians, was their sacred/mystical/magical writing; a liner script was commonly used later on for mundane communication. The word comes from the Greek, meaning to write on (specifically, carve into) stone. It's doubtful that many ordinary folks then could read/write this way of communication, but the affect/effect of its metaphysical sense would have been felt nonetheless. If you're curious to get into the mind of the ancient Egyptians & so deeper understand their hieroglyphic way communication, I suggest you read: "Symbol & the Symbolic", "Esoterism & Symbol" & "The Temple in Man" by Rene A. Schwaller de Lubicz ... I have sum more information. By the Way, I'm Kate. Okay, Ancient Egyptians used hieroglyphics to write. Heiroglyphics are just pictures that symbolised words. Only a Scribe would learn how to read and write, because hieroglyphics were really hard to learn.

How did the Sufis contribute to Muslim literature?
Answer 1: Sufism is controversial in Islam. The vast majority of Muslims are either Sunni or Shi'a (or Shia). Some see Sufism as just another Islamic denomination, like Sunni or Shia; but others see it as anywhere from simply a valid way of practicing Islam, all the way to being outside of the Islamic faith tradition altogether. For those who believe that Sufism is not really even a form of Islam, then, obviously, Sufis have made no contribution to Muslim literature.All Muslims believe that they're on a pathway to a closeness with God in the afterlife, but Sufis believe that it's possible to embrace The Divine Presence in this life, by means of achieving the primordial state of "fitra." Sufis are trained to use "intuitive and emotional faculties" to focus on the more spiritual aspects of religion, and to thereby strive to find divine love and knowledge through the direct personal experience of God by means of a variety of mystical and ascetic techniques and practices. Sufis believe that the angel Gabriel revealed to the Prophet Muhammad a perfection-of-worship practice called "Ihsan," which called upon Muhammad to "[w]orship and serve Allah as you are seeing Him, and while you see Him not, yet truly He sees you."Some Muslim scholars think of Sufism as a "science" through which one may seek "reparation of the heart and [the] turning [of] it away from all else but God," or "through which one can know how to travel into the presence of the Divine, purify one's inner self from filth, and beautify it with a variety of praiseworthy traits." Sufism, to such scholars, simply describes Islam's inner and more esoteric dimensions... a perfection of worship.Sufism, then, as defined by its adherents (and the scholars who have written about it), is not so much an Islamic denomination as it is the inner, mystical dimension of Islam in which any Muslim may engage. Therefore, some Sufi orders (called tariqas) consider themselves either Sunni or Shia; while still others claim to be neither, and refer to themselves, intentionally, as distinctly Sufi Muslims. The latter, then, are more likely to either be seen as, or to think of themselves as, more than merely those who practice a more perfect form of Muslim worship, but a Muslim denomination, as well.Many scholars believe that the basic roots of Sufism are ancient, indeed, and pre-date not only Islam, but also most other modern religions except, perhaps, for Jainism and Buddhism. The word "sufi" is thought to derive from the Greek word "sophia," meaning "wisdom." After Gabriel's revelation of Sufi Ihsan's perfection of worship to Muhammad, the 7th century Muslim Conquests and expansion of the Muslim empire from the Middle East across China and the Indian subcontinent, into Central Asia, across North Africa, Sicily, and the Iberian Peninsula to the Pyrenees mountains caused thousands of adherents and practitioners of other faiths (specifically Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism) to fall under Muslim control. It is believed (though disputed, especially by those who believe that Sufism falls outside the sphere of true Islam) that during those years Muslim clerics were influenced in their refinement of Sufism by the mysticism and esoterism of Buddhism and Hinduism (and even Christianity), and the example, techniques and methods of Christian hermits and monks who continued their daily faith practices despite their being under Muslim rule. The vast writings, both ancient and modern, about just these early aspects of Sufism have contributed in no small way to the body of Muslim literature.During the first millennium, several manuals intended to help the Islamic world to understand Sufism were created, the two most famous of which were "Kashf al-Mahjûb" of Hujwiri, and the "Risâla" of Qushayri... both considered important Sufi contributions to Muslim literature. Because some Islamic purists see Sufism as outside Islam (because, as the Salafi sect puts it, Sufism "contains unjustified religious innovation") Sufism's vast writings of simply apologia, which defend and explain it in the face of its critics (and also the works inspired thereby) are also great contributions to Muslim literature. Of course, again, if a given Muslim happens to believe that Sufism is outside of Islam, then s/he will not agree.Sufism's contribution to other fields of both literature and other endeavor is not insignificant. For example, Sufism's Lataif-e-sitta, or "the centers of subtle cognition" and the awakening of spiritual intuition are thought to have helped to refine such as Hinduism's notion of chakras. Additionally, both Sunni and Shia traditions recognize Sufism's three concepts of nafs, qalb and ruh; and the three resulting spiritual types of tyrant, spiritual moderate, and those lost in love for God. The perfection of Sufi practice stives for the latter.Sufism has also made no small contributions to general Muslim literature in the area of metaphysics, and the notions of Wahdat al-Wujud (unity of existence), and Wahdat al-Shuhud (unity of witness); or cosmology, based on the Quran's words regarding immaterial beings, the afterlife, the soul, the seven heavens, God, etc. Sufi writings about deeply spiritual approaches to "dhikr" (explained in the next paragraph) are also a huge contributions to Muslim literature.One of the common practices among Sunni Muslims who call themselves Sufis, is something called "dhikr," which is an Islamic devotional act following prayers in which one typically (and usually silently) recites Islam's 99 Names of God, as well as supplications from the hadith and the Quran. One of the most both beautiful and famous examples of Sufi dhikr is the Sama Ceremony of the Mevlevi Sufi Order in Turkey... also famously known as the "Whirling Dervishes." In 2005, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared the Mevlevi Sama Ceremony to be one of the world's "Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity."If that, and the considerable writings about it, are not a huge Sufi contribution, to not just the Muslim world and literature, but also to the entire world, then it's difficult to imagine what else would be.
