The Fusus al-Hikam is the major work of Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi. It is simultaneously an explanation of the profoundest meaning of man’s existence and perfectibility, and an esoteric exegesis of the Quran.
Ismail Hakki Bursevi’s translation of and commentary on the Fusus al-hikam by Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi, rendered into English by Bulent Rauf with the help of R. Brass and H. Tollemache. This is the famous 17th-century translation from the Arabic into Ottoman Turkish, along with extensive commentary. Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi, known as the ‘Greatest Shaykh’, considered the Fusus al-hikam, his last major opus, to be the most important of his more than 350 books. Its theme is the Infinite Wisdom that is at once unique in Itself and many-faceted in Its representation in the line of prophets from Adam to Mohammed. It is simultaneously an explanation of the profoundest meaning of man’s existence and perfectibility, and an esoteric exegesis of the Quran. In treating of the Divine Wisdom, it is so faithful to its subject that the book is itself a paradigm of its theme. The reader does not require knowledge of Arabic or Turkish to benefit from reading this book. It is intended for anyone with an interest in the true meaning and purpose of their own existence and that of the cosmos. It is a work that can be returned to for a lifetime, and if the reader approaches it with sincerity and respect, it may yield new understandings with every visit.
