| | Ibn 'Arabi, Muhyiddin
| | Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi (1165-1240) is unquestionably one of the most profound and remarkable figures in the history of world spirituality. His was an era of great cultural and spiritual flowering in the West, in the Jewish and Christian traditions as much as in the Muslim world. Known as "the Greatest Master" (al-Shaykh al-Akbar), Ibn 'Arabi has been revered in the Islamic world for over 800 years, but has only begun to be discovered seriously in the West in the last few decades. Ibn 'Arabi led an extraordinary inner and outer life, teaching, writing, and counselling the public figures of his day. He travelled huge distances, from his native Spain to Syria and Turkey, before settling in Damascus where he spent the last 20 years of his life. Ibn 'Arabi's many writings are founded on a totally harmonious vision of Reality, integrating all apparent differences without destroying their truths. They are singularly appropriate and needed in the world of today. |
