Download or read book The Translator of Desires written by Muhyiddin Ibn ʿArabi and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterpiece of Arabic love poetry in a new and complete English translation The Translator of Desires, a collection of sixty-one love poems, is the lyric masterwork of Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi (1165–1240 CE), one of the most influential writers of classical Arabic and Islamic civilization. In this authoritative volume, Michael Sells presents the first complete English translation of this work in more than a century, complete with an introduction, commentary, and a new facing-page critical text of the original Arabic. While grounded in an expert command of the Arabic, this verse translation renders the poems into a natural, contemporary English that captures the stunning beauty and power of Ibn ‘Arabi’s poems in such lines as “A veiled gazelle’s / an amazing sight, / her henna hinting, / eyelids signalling // A pasture between / breastbone and spine / Marvel, a garden / among the flames!” The introduction puts the poems in the context of the Arabic love poetry tradition, Ibn ‘Arabi’s life and times, his mystical thought, and his “romance” with Niẓām, the young woman whom he presents as the inspiration for the volume—a relationship that has long fascinated readers. Other features, following the main text, include detailed notes and commentaries on each poem, translations of Ibn ‘Arabi’s important prefaces to the poems, a discussion of the sources used for the Arabic text, and a glossary. Bringing The Translator of Desires to life for contemporary English readers as never before, this promises to be the definitive volume of these fascinating and compelling poems for years to come.

Download or read book Ibn Arabi written by William C. Chittick and published by Oneworld Publications Limited. This book was released on 2007 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book The Secrets of Voyaging written by Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi and published by Anqa Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Ibn 'Arabi, voyaging never ceases, and this applies in all worlds and dimensions. The paradigmatic voyages recounted in this remarkable book offer the reader an inexhaustible source of reflection. As a well-known Sufi saying puts it, 'the spiritual journey is called "voyage" (safar) because it "unveils" (yusfiru) the characters of the Men of God'. The Secrets of Voyaging explores the theme of journeying and spiritual unveiling as it plays out in the cosmos, in scripture and within the soul of the mystic. Beginning with a series of cosmological contemplations, Ibn 'Arabi then turns to his own selective readings of Prophetic lore, in which he gives profound insights on the voyages of Muhammad, Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Lot, Jacob and Joseph, and Moses. Angela Jaffray's translation brings this major treatise to an English-speaking audience for the first time. It is accompanied by a new edition of the Arabic text based on a manuscript in Ibn 'Arabi's own hand, an introduction and extensive notes. It also includes a rich in-depth commentary that will guide the reader through Ibn 'Arabi's subtle and allusive writing.

Download or read book Sufism Is Christianized Islam written by Miguel Asin Palacios and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-30 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sufi mystic Muhammad Ibn 'Arabi (1165-1240 CE) is known to this day as "The Greatest Sheikh" throughout the Islamic world. He was given the title Muhyiddin (Reviver of the Faith), and was also known as Doctor Maximus (the greatest teacher) in the West.This book, by Catholic priest and Arabic Scholar Miguel As�n Palacios, provides a biography of this fascinating mystic, followed by extracts from a number of Ibn 'Arabi's books. With this translation, most of these extracts are now available in English for the first time. The book also includes As�n Palacios' contention that Sufism emerged from the influence of Eastern Christian monasticism on Islam. The author's previously translated books Islam and the Divine Comedy and Saint John of the Cross and Islam have traced the reverse influence, of Sufism on Christianity. Here we see that the influence flowed in both directions.In a time when understanding Islam is of vital importance in the West, realizing the close relationship between Christianity and Islam can serve as a counterbalance to stereotyping and hopefully open deeper avenues of conversation between followers of these two major world religions. And for all those with an interest in Sufism or mysticism in general, these newly accessible writings of Ibn 'Arabi will be a rich treasure.
