Salam alaikum. Jummah Mubarak.

I read the chapter, “The Wisdom of the Spirit” in the the “Bezels of Wisdom” by Muhyi al-Din Ibn al-Arabi, translated by Ralph Austin (1980).

In the chapter, Ibn al-Arabi discusses his views on the nature of religion, and how it is of two types. The discussion that follows is deep, as this cannot properly be understood without some insights into the nature of God, the universe, and ourselves.
