Description: Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi
Fusus al-hikam
Ismail Hakki Bursevi’s translation of and commentary on the Fusus al-hikam by Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi, rendered into English by Bulent Rauf with the help of R. Brass and H. Tollemache. This is the famous 17th century translation from the Arabic into Ottoman Turkish, along with extensive commentary.

Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi considered the Fusus al-hikam, his last major opus, to be the most important of his more than 350 books. The theme is the inner meaning of the 27 prophets mentioned in the Quran from Adam to Mohammed: the infinite wisdom which is at once unique in itself and many-faceted in its representation. The Fusus is simultaneously an explanation of the most profound meaning of man’s existence and perfectibility and an esoteric exegesis of the Quran.

The commentator writes, “Oh special people, oh people of the Fusus, this is a private Mercy from God which is extended to you, which leads the people of purity to perfection.” -- from publisher
