The Horizons of Being: The Metaphysics of Ibn al-ʿArabī in the Muqaddimat al-Qayṣarī by Mukhtar H. Ali
Requirements: .PDF reader, 1.2 MB
Overview: The Horizons of Being is a parallel English-Arabic translation and commentary of Dawd al-Qayars (d. 1350) Prolegomena to his commentary on Ibn al-Arabs Fu al-ikam.
“Bringing together years of immersion into the Akbarian tradition, Mukhtar Ali’s study and translation of Qayṣarī’s famous Muqaddima is erudite, poetic, and profound. It clearly demonstrates why this text has historically been seen as one of the most important expositions of the Sufi metaphysical vision of reality, and also hints at why it should be taken seriously today. The Horizons of Being is therefore nothing short of a tour de force in modern scholarship, and is essential reading for all serious mystics, theologians, and philosophers.” – Mohammed Rustom, author of Inrushes of the Heart: The Mystical Theology of ʿAyn al-Quḍāt
