Sufi Metaphysics and Qur’anic Prophets
Ibn Arabi’s Thought and Method in the Fusus al-Hikam
RONALD L NETTLER
The Fusus al-Hikam is acknowledged to be a summary statement of the sufi metaphysics of the ‘Greatest Master’, Ibn Arabi (1165-1240AD). Ronald Nettler examines ten chapters from the Fusus which exemplify the ideas, method and perspective of the entire work. Sufi Metaphysics and Qur’anic Prophets serves not only as an explication of Ibn Arabi’s thought in the Fusus, but is also a great aid in the overall understanding of Ibn Arabi’s thought.

Quest for the Red Sulphur
The Life of Ibn Arabi
CLAUDE ADDAS
This major study by Claude Addas is based on a detailed analysis of a whole range of Ibn Arabi’s own writings as well as a vast amount of secondary literature in both Arabic and Persian. The result is the first-ever attempt to reconstruct a double itinerary: the journey that took Ibn Arabi from his native Andalusia to Damascus, and the journey of his mystical quest.

The Seal of the Saints
Prophethood and Sainthood in the Doctrine of Ibn Arabi
MICHEL CHODKIEWICZ
Founded on a careful textual analysis, Seal of the Saints examines this essential aspect of Ibn Arabi’s doctrine of sainthood, defining the nature and function of sainthood, while also specifying the criteria for a typology of saints based on the notion of prophetic inheritance.

What is Sufism?
MARTIN LINGS
What do Sufis believe? What do they aim at? What do they do? Unlike other writers on the subject, Martin Lings treats all the three questions with equal justice. This classic work on Sufism has been used as set book in colleges worldwide and has been translated into five languages.
