Ibn 'Arabi

Meld me wanneer het boek is toegevoegd

The importance of Muhyi al-Din Ibn al-Arabi (1165–1240) for Islamic mysticism lies in the fact that he was a speculative thinker of the highest order, albeit diffuse and difficult to understand. His central doctrine is the unity of all existence. In this text, William Chittick explores how, through the work of Ibn Al-Arabi, Sufism moves away from anguished and ascetic searchings of the heart and conscience and becomes a matter of speculative philsophy and theosophy.

the Qur’an encourages its readers to search out the deepest meanings of its verses, which are the “signs that God appointed ‘for a people who use intelligence’ [Q. 2: 164] and ‘for a people who reflect’ [Q. 10: 24].” It calls those who understand the signs ulu’l-albab, which is usually translated by expressions like “possessors of minds” or “people of understanding.” Literally, it means “owners of the kernels,” and Ibn ‘Arabi contrasts it with “owners of the shell.”

Then the chastisement is removed from their inwardness and they achieve ease in their abode. They find an enjoyment known by none but God, for they have chosen what God has chosen for them, and at that point they come to know that their chastisement had been only from themselves. (F. II 447.12)

By protesting against the way things are, people dispute with the Real, who has given everything its creation.
