<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This work examines the influence of the school of Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi on the well-known Kubrawi masters. This path-breaking book is a study of major Kubrawi works and the manner in which the Kubrawis approached Ibn 'Arabi's ideas. By delving into the most important cornerstones of Ibn 'Arabi's worldview, such as wahdat al-wujud (unity of existence), al-insan al-kamil (Perfect Human Being) and asma wa sifat (God's Names and Attributes), this work provides a comparative study of their reception in the thought of major Kubrawi mystics, especially that of Najm al-Din Kubra, Sa'd al-Din Hamuyah, Aziz al-Din Nasafi, Ala al-Dawlah Simnani, and Sayyid 'Ali Hamadani.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"...Shahabeddin Mesbahi's book, examining the principal Kubrawi texts, constitutes therefore a pioneering effort, a major contribution to the knowledge of this Sufi tradition. At the same time, he traces meticulously the acceptance and transmission of Ibn 'Arabi's key concepts by the Kubrawis. It is therefore doubly deserving of serious attention by all scholars of Sufism." --Hamid Algar, Professor Emeritus of Persian and Islamic Studies, University of California at Berkeley<br><br>"...This is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of Sufi metaphysics." --Carl W.
