Course Description

This new translation by Jane Clark, Stephen Hirtenstein and Cecilia Twinch of the Chapter of Hud from the Fusus al-Hikam by Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi is anticipated to take 7 weeks. At the end of the course of study, a meeting with one of the translators is planned to discuss the content of this Word, identified as the Singleness Wisdom.

The Fusus al-Hikam – the “Bezels of Wisdom” – is considered to be the quintessence of Ibn ‘Arabi’s teaching. Each chapter is dedicated to the spiritual meaning and wisdom of a particular prophet.

Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi (born in Andalusia 1165, died in Damascus 1240) is one of the most influential figures in the Islamic world. The universality of his thought, which is making him increasingly well known in the West, is as powerfully relevant in today’s world as it has ever been.

These sessions are supported and sponsored by The Beshara Trust.
