Illumination In Islamic Mysticism (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781164477815)

""Illumination in Islamic Mysticism"" by Edward Jabra Jurji is a comprehensive exploration of the concept of illumination in Islamic mysticism, or Sufism. The book delves into the origins and development of the concept, tracing its roots to ancient Greek philosophy and its evolution within Islamic thought. Jurji examines the various schools of Sufism and their differing interpretations of illumination, as well as the relationship between illumination and other key Sufi concepts such as gnosis and love. Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, the book provides a detailed analysis of the role of illumination in Sufi practice, including its use in meditation and spiritual contemplation. Ultimately, Jurji argues that illumination represents a fundamental aspect of Islamic mysticism, serving as a means of attaining spiritual enlightenment and union with the divine. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of Islamic studies, Sufism, and comparative religion.A Translation With An Introduction And Notes, Based Upon A Critical Edition Of Abul-Al-Mawahib Al-Shadhili�������s Treatise Entitled Qawanin Hikam Al-Ishraq.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
