The Fusus, Part Two: A Continuation of Our Study - All Are Welcome.

Fuṣūṣ al-Hikam, The Bezels of Wisdom
One of the most important works written on Islamic Mysticism,
by Ash-Sheikh al-Akbar Muhyi id Dīn Ibn ʿArabī

"The Fusûs al Hikam is one of the most precious short writings of our Shaykh... One of the last and most complete books sent down upon him, it came to him from the Station of Muhammad, the Fountainhead of the Essence, and Unitary All-Comprehensiveness. So, it contains the epitome of the spiritual perception (dhawq) of our Prophet – God's blessing be upon him– concerning the knowledge of God. It also points to the source of the spiritual perceptions of the prophets mentioned within it.” Ṣadr al-Dīn al-Qûnawî, , (Ibn al Arabi’s spiritual successor).

Muhyi id Dīn Ibn ʿArabī (1165–1240) is deemed by many as the greatest mystic of Islam, his mystical philosophy attracting the attention of both Muslims and non-Muslims from his time to the present day. He taught that the cosmos, our world, and all life within it, are the self-manifestation of God. Coming at the end of his life, the Fuṣūṣ al-Hikam examines the unique signatures of twenty-seven prophets of Islam, offering the best over-view of Muhyi id Dīn Ibn ʿArabī’s teaching. Although this book is both deep and complex, in the time we will be studying it I will offer commentary to the material in a way that supports and clarifies your personal practice and the cultivation of your inner being. This study will be presented in segments of 5 contiguous classes containing 5 - 6 essons per class. You may participate in any one (or in all) of the classes. The next class, our fall course, begins on September 13th, 2025.
