Ibn-Al-Arabi: The Bezels of Wisdom (Classics of Western Spirituality) Review: A Sufi Classic - Muhyiddin (reviver of the Faith) Ibn 'Arabi, known as "The Greatest Sheikh" in the Islamic world and called "Doctor Maximus" in the West, was a brilliant mystic, a great theologian, and a prolific author. This is the shorter and more accessible of his two greatest works. It was revealed to him, he says, in a single vision. It describes many of the prophets in the Qur'an, such as Adam, Seth, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, as settings for various aspects of the divine wisdom. There have been a few translations of this book into English, but at this time, this seems to be the only reasonably-priced version that is available. It is more complete and more direct than Bulent Rauf's partial translation of Burkhart's French translation, which was my favorite for many years (and which is now out of print). Reading this book is a challenge in spots, especially at the very beginning, because the thoughts are very dense, and because a lot of knowledge is taken for granted that non-Muslims might not know, and because Arabic writing tends to be elliptical. But the patient reader will find many gems of insight that will enrich their understanding, whether they are Jewish, Christian, or Muslim. I strongly recommend this book. Review: Skimming Through It, Seems Legit - Purchased this to add to my Classics of Western Spirituality collection. When I get around to reading it, probably years from now, I'll probably review it then. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #133,389 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #25 in Sufism (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (83) | | Dimensions | 6.01 x 0.88 x 9 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0809123312 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0809123315 | | Item Weight | 15.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 320 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 1980 | | Publisher | Paulist Press | ## Images ![Ibn-Al-Arabi: The Bezels of Wisdom (Classics of Western Spirituality) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61X2WXeF2GL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Sufi Classic *by L***N on March 12, 2015* Muhyiddin (reviver of the Faith) Ibn 'Arabi, known as "The Greatest Sheikh" in the Islamic world and called "Doctor Maximus" in the West, was a brilliant mystic, a great theologian, and a prolific author.
