Readings for the 2022-3 sessions from and relating to the Futuhat al-Makkiyya

  • Mansoub Edition

    This is our primary text for this year. It can be found below. Please note that this contains two volumes of the Mansoub edition’s Futuhat. As a result, the pagination restarts halfway through the PDF! If you cannot find where we are in the recording, try looking in the second half of the PDF for the appropriate page number.

  • Sirr of Chapter 178

    Below is a translation of Ibn Arabi’s Sirr (or “innermost heart”) of chapter 178. This Sirr was discussed in the 2021-2 sessions and is the ever so condensed explication of the much longer chapter that we are dealing with in this year’s sessions.

  • The Short Course on Love

    This introduction to Ibn Arabi on the subject of love. This introduction includes a translation of the fascinating chapter 73 of the Futuhat al-Makkiyya (also on Love).

  • Al-Qushayri's Epistle on Sufism

    This epistle on Sufism may be of some interest to students of Sufism.
