Major themes include the identification of the Prophet Muhammad with \"the supreme intellect\" (al-ʿaql al-akbar); the manifestation of the all-encompassing Muhammadan Reality through the different prophetic figures; the notion of prophetic inerrancy (ʿiṣma); the doctrine of the Perfect Man (al-insān al-kāmil); and the universality of the Muḥammadan nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his discussion on sainthood, the Shaykh offers a commentary on the Path to God as expressed in the well-known Holy Tradition (ḥadīth qudsī), narrated in Ṣaḥīḥ Bukhārī, in which God proclaims: \"Whoever aggresses against one of My friends, I declare war on them...My servant continues to draw near unto Me with supererogatory devotions until I love him; and when I love him, I am his hearing by which he hears, his sight by which he sees, his hand by which he clutches, and his foot by which he walks. If he asks of Me, I will surely give him; and if he seeks refuge in Me, I will surely give him refuge.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout these discourses, the Shaykh offers practical advice for seekers regarding the complementarity between the exoteric Law (sharīʿa) and esoteric Truth (ḥaqīqa); the love of the Prophet and his descendents; and the attainment of unmediated knowledge of God (maʿrifa). Special emphasis is placed by the Shaykh on the seeker's visions (mushāhadāt) of God's Light; recognizing the traces of the Divine Names in creation; and how to derive knowledge of God from one's spiritual experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mohamed Faouzi Al Karkari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 293097852X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782930978529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Les 7 Lectures\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.61d","brand":"Mohamed Faouzi Al Karkari","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994595492095,"sku":"9782930978529","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a7e23ddf-c919-41aa-9a5a-cf7476d2e915.jpg?v=1683331085","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sufism-revived-mohamed-faouzi-al-karkari-9782930978529","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
