Book Recommendation: SUFI METAPHYSICS & QUR'ANIC PROPHET

[mquran]

Salaamun alaikum,

I recommend the title above for interested readers.

Ibn Arabi's Fusus Al-hikam was the primary stimulus for me to explore the notion that the personalities of al-quraan were archetypes which exist in the human world potentially and/or actually.

This book is an explanation of Ibn Arabi's ideas on the matter. While his notions aren't purely Quranic in my opinion, we can discern his world-view from this text and surmise that the world-view itself is indeed Quranic.

Peace be upon you MQ,

Sounds good brother, I will look for that and the other book you requested quite a while ago.

Thanks.

Peace M,

Thanks for the recommendation. While this thread is open, could you and anyone else please post references to any other 'must-read' titles. I was compiling a booklist for the past year and lost it when I swapped out my hard drive.

Thanks.

Peace,
Tay

Listen, is there anyone here from Iran? I just saw a good program called Mystic Iran, I would like more info on the Dervishes and the history of "Sirus" (I think that was the name of the Persian "king")

the history of "Sirus" (I think that was the name of the Persian "king")

Cyrus

Wikipedia should have some decent info.
