{"product_id":"the-nightfolk-dunja-rasic-9780520422612","title":"The Nightfolk: Ibn 'Arabi Behind the Veil of Night","description":"This story begins with a divine unveiling: In 1220, a mysterious youth took the Sufi scholar, poet, and philosopher Muhyī al-Dīn Ibn ʿArabī behind the veil of the night. There, Ibn ʿArabī first came face to face with advanced and morally ambiguous spiritual practitioners known as the Nightfolk. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Nightfolk\u003c\/i\u003e, Duja Rasic offers a pioneering historical and conceptual analysis of the once-widespread beliefs about the night and its people in Muslim cultures and societies. Drawing on a wealth of primary source materials, Rasic traces these beliefs from their origins in the seventh century to their most prominent form in the thirteenth-century works of Ibn ʿArabī. Re-examining common notions of spiritual authority, ascension, self-isolation, moral choice, and transgression in Muslim cultures and societies, \u003ci\u003eThe Nightfolk\u003c\/i\u003e is a crucial read for those interested in philosophical Sufism and Ibn ʿArabī's attempts to bridge the gap between the visible world and the realms of the unseen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dunja Rasic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520422619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520422612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.69d","brand":"Dunja Rasic","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001159958783,"sku":"9780520422612","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b35ae309-d2b3-45a4-986d-1dcfcdbffb92.jpg?v=1751600241","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-nightfolk-dunja-rasic-9780520422612","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
