Description :

Ibn al-'Arabi's magnum opus, al-Futūhāt al-Makkiyya, 'The Makkan Openings' or Revelations,' is known at least by name to all students of Sufism. In spite of its importance for Islamic thought in general, and Ibn al-'Arabi in particular, few scholars have taken advantage of its enormous riches because of the numerous difficulties connected with reading and understanding the text.


This simplified urdu translation is an abridged version of the 12 Volume Arabic text.

Shaykh al-Akhbar ibn al-'Arabi (555 - 630H) --Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn al-'Arabi al-Hatimi al-Tai, entitled Muhyi al-Din ("Reviver of the Faith"), was born in Murcia in southern Spain (Andalucia), to an Arab family and educated in Seville. At twenty he already possessed profound spiritual insights.through Arabia, Egypt, Asia Minor and elsewhere, he became a teacher of great renown. Titled 'Shaykh al-Akhbar' - "The Greatest Shaykh", Ibn 'Arabi authored over 280 works, including his magnum opus, the twelve volume "Makkan Revelations" an extensive compendium of Islam's esoteric sciences, the doctrines of tasawwuf and a diary of his own spiritual experiences surpassing anything of its kind.
