The Grand Sheikh Mohyeddin Ibn Arabi
الشيخ الأكبر محيى الدين إبن عربى
Mohyeddin Ibn 'Arabi (560-638 AH, 1165–1240 AD) is one of the most profound and remarkable figures in the history of world spirituality, and can be considered the greatest of all Muslim philosophers.
Born Mohammed Ibn Ali Ibn Mohammed Ibn Ahmed Ibn Abdallah at-Ta’i al-Hatimi, he came to be known as Abu Abdallah, or as Mohyeddin (The Reviver of the Religion), and as Ibn Arabi.
He was born in Murcia in Andalusia (Spain). His father was employed by the ruler of the city, and in 567 AH (1172 AD) Murcia was conquered and his family moved to Seville, where his father went into government service. He started religious education at the age of 7 in Seville, where he started studying the Qur’an with its different pronunciations.
That he was destined for a spiritual life was revealed to him in several revelations early in his life.
Ibn Arabi wrote that, in his childhood, he was severely ill one day, and during high fever, he had a dream that he was surrounded by a large crowd of armed forces of evil wanting to destroy him. He suddenly saw a strong man with a splendid shining face who attacked these evil spirits and fended them off, saving him. He asked who he was, and he replied: "I am Surat Yaseen". He then woke up and found his father by his side reading "Surat Yaseen".
He also wrote that during his early teens he spent much of his time with his friends in pastimes and gaiety. One day, however, he was overcome by a spiritual vision of God. In the middle of one of nightly parties in Seville he heard a voice calling to him, "O Mohammed, it was not for this that you were created". This moved him a lot, and he went into prolonged seclusions, and received several visions and revelations.
Ibn Arabi’s father told his friend, the judge and great philosopher Ibn Rushd (Averrois), about the change in his son. According to Ibn Arabi’s account Averrois requested a meeting. The exchange that took place has been recounted by Ibn Arabi in several of his writings: "One day in Cordoba I went to its judge Al Waleed Ibn Rushd (Averrois) and he had been wanting to meet me after hearing what The Lord had revealed to me in my seclusion, and had been expressing astonishment for what he heard. My father sent me to him on an errand, aiming that I meet him, for he was a friend of his. I was still a young boy, my beard had not sprouted and my mustache had not even grown. When I entered, he stood up to me showing affection and glorification. He embraced me and told me: "Yes?" I said "Yes!". His delight in me grew as I understood him. I sensed what delighted him, and I said: "No!". He became tense and his color changed, and doubted what he had, and asked me: "how did you find Lordly revelations and floods? is it what we have of vision?" I said: "Yes and No! and between yes and no, spirits fly from their substances and necks from their bodies!" Then he became pale." Ibn Rushd later declared: "I myself was of the opinion that spiritual knowledge without learning is possible, but never met anyone who had experienced it". The meeting highlights the wide separation that Ibn Arabi perceived between the formal knowledge of rational thinkers and the unveiling of those who have true insight into the nature of things.
In the Futuhat, Ibn Arabi writes of the meeting: "He (Ibn Rushd) was a master of thought and logical perception, and he thanked The Lord Almighty that he was present in a time where he saw someone who entered a seclusion ignorant, and came out 'like this', without study or learning or reading. He said "this is a case we verified, and did not see any like it, so thanks and gratitude to The Lord that I am in a time where one of its (the Path's) masters who opens what is closed of its doors is alive, and thanks and gratitude to The Lord that He made me meet him"".
It is worthy to note that his visit to Cordoba and meeting Ibn Rushd, the representative of the proper Aristotelean stream of Islamic philosophy was a specially important meeting. Their encounter was decisive and critical for both, where it highlighted the disparity between the path of logical mindful thinking and the path of mysticism and revelation. In addition, that the Sufi young man had the upper hand in the encounter over the rational philosopher, highlights how Sufism as a way of life can be combined with the logic, intelligence, and rational thinking. It was not merely Sufism that had the upper hand over philosophy, for his revealed Sufi experiences were combined to a great extent with very accurate rational thinking, and supported by it. Ibn Arabi was a Sufi, and in the same time a great thinker and a philosopher. 
Eventually he studied with many Sufi Sheikhs, and with masters of other Islamic sciences, including Hadith, Qur’an recitation, Qur’an commentary, and jurisprudence.
He left Spain for the first time when he was thirty, traveling to Tunis. In 595 AH (1200 AD), a vision instructed him to go to the East, and he left for Mecca for the Hajj, and never came back.
In 597 AH (1202 AD) he performed the hajj and met Majd ad-Din Ishaq, whom he accompanied back to Anatolia. He stayed for a time in Mosul, where he was initiated on the path (given the "Khirqa" or cloak) by Ibn al-Jami’, who himself claims to have received it directly from Al-Khadir (the mystical spiritual guide who is described in the Qur’anic account of his meeting with Moses in Surat Al-Kahf (18: 65–82)). For some years he traveled extensively in Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Egypt, and he again visited Mecca and Medina. After Majd ad-Din’s death, Ibn Arabi married his widow and raised his son, Sadruddin Qunawi who became his leading disciple, writing a number of important books.
In 1223 Ibn Arabi settled down permanently in Damascus, where he taught and wrote. His company was sought by royalty, and he came across a lot of wealth, but saved nothing of it. It was said that the ruler of Hums made him an allowance of 100 dirhams a day, and Ibn Al-Zikki 30 dirhams a day, and he used to give them all out in charity. A circle of disciples, including Qunawi, served him until his death in 638 AH (1240 AD).
He was a prolific author. His major project during these years was "الفتوحات المكية" Al-Futuhat Al-Makkeyya (The Meccan Revelations), where he used to write 3 notebooks or booklets every day no matter where he was. In a letter he wrote to the king Al-Muazzam, Ibn Arabi counted more than 400 titles of his writings, including the grand Qur’an interpretation where he reached "Surat Al-Kahf" and died before completing it. The Qur’an commentary's full version, had it been completed, would have been longer than the Futuhat. Most of these works are short manuscripts, but many are full-sized books.
As a Sufi master, and wrote many books on the subject, including: "الجمع والتفصيل في حقائق التنزيل" Al-Jam' wa At-Taffsseel fi Haqaiq At-Tanzeel (the collective and explained in the truths of revelations), "الجذوة المقتبسة والخطرة المختلسة" Al-Juzwa Al-Muqtabasa wa Al-Khatra Al-Mukhtalasa (the adapted cinder and the secret thought), "كشف المعنى في تفسير الأسماء الحسنى" Kashf Al Ma'na fi Tafseer Al-Asmaa Al-Husna (exposing the meaning in explaining the Glorious Names of The Lord), the manuscript "مشاهد الأسرار القدسية ومطالع الأنوار الإلهية" Mashahed Al-Asrar Al-Qudseyya wa Matale' Al Anwaar Al-Ilaheyya (The sights of the Holy Secrets and the dawning of the Divine Lights) and many other numerous books
Ibn Arabi's writings remained unknown in the West until modern times. Early Orientalists did not study him because his writings had little influence in Europe. His works, moreover, are notoriously difficult, making it easy to dismiss him as a “mystic” without trying to read him. Only in the second half of the 20th century was he recognized as an extraordinarily broad-ranging and highly original thinker with much to contribute to the world of philosophy. Early scholars limited their attention almost entirely to "فصوص الحكم" Fusus al-hikam (The Ringstones of the Wisdoms) that represents but a tiny fraction of what he offers in his massive "الفتوحات المكية" Al-Futuhat Al-Makkeyya (The Meccan Revelations)

Over the centuries Ibn Arabi’s "فصوص الحكم" Fusus al-hikam (The Ringstones of the Wisdoms) was held in highest esteem. Based largely on Qur’anic verses and hadiths, he shows how each of twenty-seven prophets from Adam to Mohammed, Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam, disclosed in his own person and prophetic career the wisdom implied by one of the divine attributes.
He wrote that, in a revelation, the Prophet, Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam, came to him and handed him the Fusus. He wrote: “I state nothing that has not been projected toward me; I write nothing except what has been inspired in me.”
The Fusus first English translation was partially done by Angela Culme-Seymour from the French translation of Titus Burckhardt as "Wisdom of the Prophets" (1975), and the first full translation was by Ralph Austin as "Bezels of Wisdom" (1980). The complete French translation is by Sheikh Abd Ar-Razzaq Yahya (Charles-André Gilis), entitled "Le livre des chatons des sagesses" (1997).
His major work is "الفتوحات المكية" Al-Futuhat Al-Makkeyya (The Meccan Revelations). The Futuhat is a mammoth work that would cover thousands of pages. It is a compilation of metaphysics, theology, cosmology, spiritual anthropology, psychology, and jurisprudence.Topics include the inner meanings of the Islamic rituals, the stations of travelers on the Path to God, the nature of cosmic hierarchy, the spiritual meaning of the letters of the Arabic alphabet, the sciences embraced by each of the ninety-nine Names of The Lord, and the significance of the differing messages of various prophets. The introduction contains a detailed account of Ibn Arabi's [aqeeda] (doctrine, creed), and in the last chapter (chapter 560) he lists in detail his most important advice to every reader.
The Futuhat was abridged by Abdul-Wahab Al-Shaarany (d 973 AH, 1566 AD), and he called the book: "لواقح الأنوار القدسية المنتقاة من الفتوحات المكية" Lawaqeh Al-Anwar Al-Qudseyya Al-Muntaqah min Al-Futuhat Al-Makkeyya (The Pollens of Holy Lights Selected from The Meccan Futuhat (Revelations)). He later abridged the abridged version and called it: "الكبريت الأحمر من علوم الشيخ الأكبر" Al-Kabreet Al-Ahmar min Uloom Al-Sheikh Al-Akbar (The Red Sulfur from The Knowledges of The Grandest Sheikh)
In the "Lawaqeh Al-Anwar ..." Al-Shaarany wrote:
"During my abridging, I came upon several passages that did not appear to comply with the norms of the orthodoxy of the Sunna and the group [al-jama'a], so I deleted them from the abridged version. I kept thinking that the deleted parts were definitely written by Sheikh Mohyeddin till the learned Sheikh Shamsuddin Al-Tayeb Al-Madany (d 955 AH, 1548 AD) visited us, and I discussed this matter with him. He produced a copy of "Al-Futuhat" which he had verified against the original in Konya handwritten by the Sheikh himself, and I did not find in it any of the parts that had stopped me and I had deleted, and I came to the conclusion that the copies in Egypt were all written from the copy where they (the Sheikh's denouncers) inserted what contradicts the doctrines of the orthodoxy of the Sunna and the group [jama'a], as had occurred in "Al-Fusus" and others."
In "The Red Sulfur..." Al-Shaarany wrote:
"And know that I read uncountable books and did not find a book more collective for the sayings of the people of the Path than "Al-Futuhat Al-Makkeyya" (The Meccan Revelations), specially what it includes of secrets of Sharia and of clarification of disputes between scholars and where from they deduced their different opinions. If a Sharia scholar reads it, he will increase in knowledge and find secrets of the methodology of deduction and correct interpretations he did not know; and if a commentator of the Qur’an reads it he will find the same, and similarly a Hadith scholar or scientist, or a linguist, or an interpreter of dreams, or a scholar of physics or medicine or logic, or a Sufi, or a scholar of The Names of The Lord, or of the science of letters, they will all find the same."

"The knowledges of the Sheikh (Ibn Arabi) are all based on revelation and identification, are purified of doubt and distortion, as he, may The Lord Be Pleased with him, pointed to in chapter 367 of the "Futuhat" where he wrote:
"we don't have (in this book), by The Grace of The Lord Almighty, any imitation (copying) except for the legislator, Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam."
And:
".. and know that I have absolutely not stated in this book (Al-Futuhat), thanks to Allah Almighty, any issue that is not compliant with Sharia, and I have not departed The Book (The Qur’an) or the Sunna in anything of it"
and his saying in chapter 365:
"and know that all I say in my teachings and my compilations is derived purely from the presence of The Qur’an and its coffers..""
His poetry book: "ترجمان الأشواق" Turjuman Al-Ashwaq (The Interpreter of Longings) is a collection of poems of love and affection, the first of Ibn Arabi’s works to be translated into English. It was inspired by Nizam, a beautiful and gifted daughter of a great scholar from Isfahan.
In Aleppo this work caused uproar in certain circles, and he came under the blame of writing erotic verses under the cover of poetic allusions. The religious scholars of Aleppo severely criticized the work and denounced the claim that this poetry was mystical or expresses Divine realities.
Later Ibn Arabi wrote a commentary on these poems by the title of ذخائر العلائق “Dhakha'ir al-A’laq” (the treasures of connection), which when the scholars read, they felt sorry for unjustly exposing Ibn Arabi to their scathing criticism.
The Imam Safeyyeddin Hussein wrote in his manuscript in which he describes the master Sheikhs of his time he had met:
"I saw in Damascus the Sheikh, the Imam, the [Gnostic], the one and only, Mohyeddin Ibn Arabi. He was one of the grandest scholars of the Path. He assembled all acquired knowledges to what he was permitted of revealed knowledges. His status is famous, and his writings are plenty. He is overtaken by Unification in his knowledge, character and state. He cares not for existence and whether it is approaching or turning away from him. He has many disciples, and he read me of his verse:
يا من يراني ولا أراه .... كم ذا أراه ولا يراني
O Who Sees me and I see Him not .... How much do I see Him and He Sees me not
and he told me:
"some of my colleagues told me when they heard this verse: how can you say He Sees you not while you know that He Sees you? and I replied:
يا من يراني مجرما ....كم ذا أراه منعما
و لا أراه آخذا.....و لا يراني لائذا
O Who Sees me a criminal....and I see Him Benefactor
I do not see Him taking......and He Sees me not seeking (His) shelter"
"From this and others you know that the Sheikh's words carry hidden interpretations. He does not intend its evident meaning, but they carry what befit him, and this part should suffice you, so better your thoughts of him, and do not criticize, but believe".
"And in totality, his composition is the shoreless sea, and the light that clears the darkness of doubt and clothes the hearts with its secrets."
"His virtues and dignities need volumes to contain. He is The Lord's apparent proof and His glamorous sign. He pays no attention to what is said about him and what the offenders say; for anything an offender says about the like of him is dust that deserves no attention. And how not, when a huge number of the greatest scholars took his side and referred shortcomings and deficiencies to his offenders."
The Sheikh of Islam, the chief judge Majduddin Al-Fayrouzabady wrote a book because he was asked the following question about Ibn Arabi and his books: "what do the learned scholars say, may The Lord through them support religion and join the scatter of the Muslims, about Sheikh Mohyeddin Ibn Arabi and the books attributed to him as "Al-Futuhat Al-Makkeyya" and the "Fusus" and the "Mawaqef"? Is it permissible (halal) to read them and teach them, and are they among the readable books or not? Please deliver an opinion and a restorative answer to gain the beautiful reward of The Lord, The Generous The Bestower, and Praise and Gratitude to The Lord only"
He answered saying: "Praise and Gratitude to The Lord. O Lord, please make us speak with what pleases You. What I believe regarding the one in question is that he was "the Sheikh of the Path" by state and by knowledge, and "the Imam of the truth" by truth and by shape, and "the reviver of knowledges" by act and by name
إذا تغلغل فكر المرء في طرف ... من بحره غرقت فيه خواطره
if the person's contemplation penetrates a side .... of his sea, his thoughts will drown in it
عباب لا تكدره الدلاء، وسحاب لا تتقاصر عنه الأنواء، كانت دعواته تخترق السبع الطباق، وتفترق بركاته فتملأ الآفاق، وإني أصغيه وهو يقينا فوق ما وصفته، وناطق بما كتبته، وغالب ظني أني ما أنصفته
He is an ocean that is not disturbed by buckets, and he is clouds that do not lack winds. His prayers pierced the seven skies, and his blessings filled the horizons. He is definitely above what I describe him with, and my assumption is that I did not do him enough justice.

As for his books and compilations, they are the overflowing profuse seas, and because of abundance and what they contain of gems they are uncountable. No writer has written anything like them, and The Lord specialized people by knowing their values".
The pretext the denouncers use, that the Sheikh of Islam Izzuddin Ibn Abdul-Salam, the grand sheikh of Egypt and of the Shafeites, used to slander him and label him an atheist is not true, and is lies and falsehood.
Sheikh Salahuddin Al-Alaaei and a group of sheikhs all verified that Sheikh Izzuddin Ibn Abdul-Salam's attendant and companion said: "we were in the class of Sheikh Ibn Abdul-Salam, and the word atheist (zindeeq) came up, and its origin from Persian and its Persian meaning was suggested. Someone asked: "like whom?" and one next to the sheikh said: "like Ibn Arabi in Damascus", and the Sheikh kept silent and did not answer him. I was fasting that day, and the Sheikh invited me for breakfast with him, and I found him pleasant and conversant, so I asked him: "master: do you know the Pole, the Single, the Savior of our time?" He said: "what is this for you? eat". I knew then that he knows the answer, so I left the food and asked him again: "for The Lord's sake tell me who he is". He smiled, may The Lord have Mercy on him, and said: "Sheikh Mohyeddin Ibn Arabi". I sat silent in bewilderment, and he asked me what was wrong. I said: "master, I am confused, did not this man today say what he said about Ibn Arabi in your presence and you did not answer?" He said: "be silent. That was in the council of jurisprudence".
This is what was relayed through true reference to Sheikh Izzuddin Ibn Abdul-Salam.
And among those who wrote for his behalf was Sheikh Kamaluddin Al-Zamlakany, one of the most dignified Sheikhs of Al-Sham. He used to say: "How ignorant are these. They deny and refuse Ibn Arabi because of words and expressions in his books that their comprehension cannot understand the meanings of. Let them come to me to explain the hidden meaning and display his intentions so that they see the truth and part with illusion."
Al Yafei wrote that a gnostic used to read and explain the writings of Ibn Arabi, and when he was on his deathbed, he prohibited his disciples from reading it and said: "you do not comprehend the meanings of the Sheikhs words".
Al Hafez Al Suyuti wrote a book about him and called it: "تنبيه الغبي على تنزيه ابن عربي" Tanbeeh Al Ghabey ala Tanzeeh Ibn Al-Arabi (Alerting the foolish about the venerated status of Ibn Araby)
Al-Maqreezy wrote in Omar Ibn Al-Faridd's biography that Ibn Arabi wrote to Ibn Al-Faridd about the interpretation of his poem "التائية الكبرى" "the T poem" (or the Sufi Way poem). He answered back that "your book The Futuhat interprets it".
A faction of offenders immensely reproach him, and ignorance may even lead them to the verge of [takfeer] (labelling him an infidel). This is only due to the shortcomings in their comprehension that cannot grasp the intentions in his words and acts and their meanings, and due to their short hands that did not reach grasping their fruits. And as Al-Buhtury wrote in his poem:
على نحت القوافي من معادنها ... وما علي إذا لم تفهم البقر
my role is to carve the rhymes from their origins....and do not blame me if the cows don't understand
Those who denounced (and those who still denounce) Ibn Araby misunderstand his writings as meaning that he believed in [Hulool] and / or [Ittihaad]. (They mostly copy what Ibn Taymeya wrote, out of misunderstanding Ibn Araby's writings).
Hulool: (Lit: Entering, settling) is a belief in Divine indwelling: is the belief that Allah Almighty dwells within a particular human, as was said that that was the belief of Mansour Al-Hallaj
Ittihaad: (Lit: union, joining) is a belief in Unity in Existence: is the belief that all existance is a single existance and everything we see are only aspects of the Essence of Allah, or that The Existence of Allah Almighty, is the very same existence of his creation and He is not separate and distinct from this creation and there do not exist two separate existence.
In fact, Ibn Araby was strongly against both Hulool and Ittihaad, and even considered who belived in them as non-believers.
The belief and creed ([aqeeda]) of Sunnis is that existence or being is divided into three categories.
Mandatory existent [al-wujud al-wajib] is the existence of Allah Almighty. The Lord Exists independently through Himself and His Existence is necessary for the existence of all other things. None of His creation share in His Existence.
Contingent or possible existence [al-wujud al-mumkin] is the existence of created things that may or may not exist. Created things have no independent being and their existence is not necessary. The Lord Almighty brought them into being through His Will, Power and Knowledge and if He Willed they would not have existed or will stop to exist. Creation only exists through Him Giving it being, and it exists through Him, but doesn't share in His Independent, Necessary Being.
Impossible existence [al-wujud al-mustaheel] is the existence of a partner in Allah's Entity, Attributes or Actions, which is impossible.
The Sufis refer to [wahdat] or the "Oneness" of mandatory existence (or The Oneness of The Existence of The Lord Almighty) when they speak of the "[wahdat al-wujud] (oneness of existence)", for The Lord is definitely venerated beyond multiplicity. They do not mean by [wahdat al-wujud] joining [ittihaad] or that The Lord and His creation are one, or the unity of The Lord with His creation, or that everything in the universe is He, and that He is everything. In fact, in their doctrine, the universe and everything and everyone it contains is coincidental, and its existence is figurative, incapable of harm or benefit, and that they are nothingness, and can perish in any instance.
If the difference between mandatory existence [al-wujud al-wajib] and contingent or possible existence (al-wujud al-mumkin) is clearly understood, then a lot of difficulty in Sufi literature is explained. When the Sufis refer to [wahdat al-wujud] (oneness of existence) they refer to the Unification and Oneness of the existence of The Lord Almighty.
Indeed Ibn Arabi's [aqeeda] (doctrine, creed) did not doubt the absolute Unification of Allah beyond any likeness or partnership and beyond unity or joining with any else. He was and is repeatedly accused of believing for [Hulool] and [Ittihaad], and [wahdat al-wujud] is mostly misunderstood and misiterpreted as referring to joining [ittihaad] and not Unification. In fact, those who thus accuse him did not read (or read and did not comprehend) his writings, and simply repeat what was written ages ago. The [aqeeda] of Ibn Araby is repeatedly detailed in his writings, specially in the "Futuhat", where he repeatedly denounces both [Hulool] and [Ittihad], and details what he believes of "oneness of existence" [wahdat al-wujud]
In the introduction to the "Futuhat" he writes: فى مقدمة كتاب الفتوحات المكية كتب إبن عربي:

Indeed The Lord Almighty is One God;
– without a second in His Divinity
– venerated beyond companion or child;
– an Owner with Whom there is no partner;
– a King with Whom there is no minister (vizier);
– a Maker with Whom there is no organizer.

 إن الله تعالى إله واحد
لا ثاني له في ألوهيته
منزه عن الصاحبة والولد
مالك لا شريك له
ملك لا وزير له
صانع لا مدبر معه
Existent by Himself without needing or being impoverished for an originator to exist Him
but everything else other than Him is impoverished for Him in its existence		 موجود بذاته من غير افتقار إلى موجد يوجده
بل كل موجود سواه مفتقر إليه تعالى في وجوده
The whole world exists through Him, and Only He is described as Self Existing فالعالم كله موجود به وهو وحده متصف بالوجود لنفسه
There is no initiation for His Existence, and there is no end to His Lasting
But it is absolute unconditional existence		 لا افتتاح لوجوده ولا نهاية لبقائه
بل وجود مطلق غير مقيد
Existing by Himself, not as matter for which space is estimated
nor as a coincident for which remaining is impossible
nor as physical for which there will be direction and apposition		 قائم بنفسه ليس بجوهر متحيز فيقدر له المكان
ولا بعرض فيستحيل عليه البقاء
ولا بجسم فتكون له الجهة والتلقاء
Revered beyond directions and places
seen through hearts and visions
If He wishes He Settles on His Throne as He Said and according to the meaning He Meant
as The Throne and everything else through Him settled		 مقدس عن الجهات والأقطار
مرئي بالقلوب والأبصار
إذا شاء استوى على عرشه كما قاله وعلى المعنى الذي أراده
كما إن العرش وما سواه به استوى
To Him belong The Afterlife and The World (The Last and The first)
He has no comprehensible Like
and it is not minds that guide to Him		 وله الآخرة والأولى
ليس له مثل معقول
ولا دلت عليه العقول
He Is not confined by time
and not bound by space
but He Was when there was no space, and He Is as He Was		 لا يحده زمان
ولا يقله مكان
بل كان ولا مكان وهو على ما عليه كان
He created the possible and the space
and created time
and said: "I Am The One The Ever-Living"		 خلق المتمكن والمكان
وأنشأ الزمان
وقال أنا الواحد الحي
Preserving creation does not tire or fatigue Him
and no attribute of His makes or creation refers back to Him that was not in Him		 لا يئوده حفظ المخلوقات
ولا ترجع إليه صفة لم يكن عليها من صنعة المصنوعات
Exalted beyond being "indwelled" by incidents or being "indwelled" in them, or that they are after Him or He before them تعالى إن تحله الحوادث أو يحلها أو تكون بعده أو يكون قبلها
but He Was, and nothing was with Him
for before and after are attributes of time, which He Created		 بل يقال كان ولا شيء معه
فإن القبل والبعد من صيغ الزمان الذي أبدعه
For He is [Al-Qayyum] (The Self-Existing by Whom all subsist) Who Never Sleeps
and [Al-Qahhar] (The Subduer) Who is beyond intention		 فهو القيوم الذي لا ينام
والقهار الذي لا يرام
"...There is nothing like Him....[42:11]" لَيْسَ كَمثْلِهِ شَىء ‫ٌ﴿الشورى: ١١﴾
And in Chapter 321 of the Futuhat he wrote: فى الباب ٣٢١ من الفتوحات المكية كتب ابن عربي:
And know, o dear friend, that existence is divided into worshipper and Worshipped.
The worshipper is everything other than The Lord Almighty, and it is the whole world referred to by the word "slave" [abd]
and The Worshipped is Allah
and there is nothing in existence other than what we metioned		 اعلم أيها الولي الحميم أن الوجود مقسم بين عابد ومعبود
فالعابد كل ما سوى الله تعالى وهو العالم المعبر عنه والمسمى عبدا
والمعبود هو المسمى الله
وما في الوجود إلا ما ذكرناه
And everything else besides The Lord is a slave [abd] to The Lord, and is created and does not create فكل ما سوى الله عبد لله ما خلق ويخلق
And in all what we mentioned, there are great secrets related to knowing The Lord and His Unification, and to knowing the world
and there are many differences between scholars in this issue, which never end, and no one gets the upper hand		 وفيما ذكرناه أسرار عظيمة تتعلق بباب المعرفة بالله وتوحيده وبمعرفة العالم ورتبته
وبين العلماء في هذه المسألة من الخلاف ما لا يرتفع أبدا ولا يتحقق فيه قدم يثبت عليه
and that is why The Lord Almighty destined happiness for his slaves through belief and through knowledge in the Unification of The Lord, and there is no path to happiness except through these two ولهذا قدر الله السعادة لعباده بالإيمان وفي العلم بتوحيد الله خاصة ما ثم طريق إلى السعادة إلا هذان
And in Chapter 559 of the Futuhat he wrote: في الباب ٥٥٩ من الفتوحات المكية كتب ابن عربي:
Whoever believes in [Hulool] (Divine Indwelling), then he is [maalool] (diseased) ومن قال بالحلول فهو معلول
and this disease has no remedy, and no doctor can cure it وهو مرض لا دواء لدائه ولا طبيب يسعى في شفائه
and no one speaks of [Ittihaad] (unity in existence) except [ahl al-ilhaad] (the atheists) وما قال بالاتحاد إلا أهل الإلحاد
as for those who believe in [Hulool], they are among the dividers وأما القائلون بالحلول فهم من أهل التفصيل
for they defined a state and place, and appointed a [haraam] and [halaal] فإنهم أثبتوا حالا ومحلا وعينوا حراما وحلا
because nothing joins itself by itself, except if that thing is several things and formed of parts لأن الشيء لا يصل نفسه بنفسه إلا اذا كان الشيء أشياء وكان ذا أجزاء
but The One, how can He be divided, and there is no additional thing beside Him وإنما الواحد كيف يصح فيه انقسام وما ثم على عينه أمر زائد

and for a time that aids in its assembly and dispersing;
and for prayers and peace and greetings upon Mohammed and his family and companions;
and the Caliphs that followed him and everyone who follows his path;
and send abundant greetings.
الحمد لله على حسن توفيقه
وأسأله الهداية إلى سلوك طريقه
وإلهاما على تحقيقه
وقلبا موقنا إلى تصديقه
وعقلا نورانيا بعناية تسبيقه
وروحا روحانيا إلى تشريفه
ونفسا مطمئنة من الجهل وفهما لامعا بالماع الفكر وبريقه
وسرا أزهرا بسلسبيل الفتح ورحيقه
ولسانا منبسطا ببساط البسط وترويقه
وفكرا رائقا عن زخرف الفاني وتزويقه
وبصيرة نافذة في سر الوجود في تغريب الكون وتشريقه
وحواسا سالمة بمجاري الروح وتطريقه
وفطرة طاهرة من زكام النقص وتطبيقه
ووقتا مساعدا لجمعه وتفريقه
وصلاة وسلاما على محمد وآله وفريقه
والخلفاء من بعده والتابعين سلوك طريقه
وسلم تسليما
Then Afterwards
Indeed, the intention is Allah
in existence and in witnessing;
and He is The Purpose and aim
without denial or rejection;
and He suffices me, and how excellent The Ultimate Trustee.
أما بعد
فإن المراد هو الله
في الوجود والشهود
وهو المقصود
ولا إنكار ولا جحود
وهو حسبي ونعم الوكيل

whose companion is apprehension,
and whose intention is closeness and acceptance,
and You Have the destination of the seekers and the ultimate desire of the demanders

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ ‫
"In The Name Of God [Bismillah]", The Opener of existence
and "Praise and Gratitude Be To Allah [Alhamd u Lillah]", The Displayer of every existent
and "There Is No God Save Allah [La Ilaha Illa Allah]", an absolute Unification emanating from uncovering and witnessing
and "God Is Greater [Allah u Akbar]", from Him it all started, and to Him all will return
and "[Subhan Allah]" there is none but Him to witness, and none is with Him to worship
بسم الله فَاتِحِ اْلوجود
والحمد للهِ مُظِهِرِ كُلِ موجودٍ

"One, Single", as He Was before the occurrence of occurrence
He has a sign in everything proving that He is One, Single, Present
His secret is present, His concealment is venerated beyond comprehension and influence
and "There Is No Help Or Power Save With Allah, The Most High, The Most Great" is a treasure with which He distinguished us and gifted us from the coffers of the unknown and from His Munificence
by which I seek to bring about every goodness, and by means of which I fend off every evil and harm, and tear every closed patch
and "To Allah We Belong And To Him We Are Returning" for every thing that occurred or will occur, and in every state and situation and thought and revelation [warid] and origin and answer
واحِد اَحدعلَى ما كَان عليهِ قبلَ حدوثِ الحدوثِ

And The Lord is The Request for everything, and in everything He is The Aspiration and The Intention
and from Him is the inspiration, and through Him is the comprehension, and He is The Present, without denial or refutation
if He clarifies, there will be nothing else
Hidden in Singleness, Apparent in Oneness, and through Him and by Him everything was, and indeed there is nothing, for a thing is in actuality perishing and vanishing, and lost
واَللهُ هو اْلمرجو لِكُلٍ شىءٍ وفِىِ كُلِ شىءٍ هوالمأمولُ والمقصود

for "He is The First and The Last, and The Evident and The Immanent: and He has full knowledge of all things [57:2]" before the "being" of things and after existence
to Him belongs the vast encompassing, and the comprehensive truth, and the upheld secret, and the permanent kingdom, and the mandatory decision. He Deserves commending and Glory, as He commended Himself, for He is The Praiseworthy The Commendable
Of Single Self, and Single Names and Traits
Knowledgeable of generals and particulars
Encompassing uppers and lowers

O Who no one prevents Him from giving
O Who what He Has never ends
and Whose munificence and giving covered all creation

ويا من لاَيمنَعه مِن اْلعطَاءِ مانع
يا من لاَ ينفَد ما عنده

O Lord, please open for me the doors to these treasures
and clarify for me the realities of these symbols
And You be my Encounter and my Destination
and veil me, by regarding You, from regarding me
and wipe all my traits by the appearance of Your Manifestation
so that there will be no destination for me other than to You
and my vision sees nothing but You
اللَّهم اْفتح لِىِ اغلاقَ هذِهِ اْلكُنُوز
واكشف لىِ حقَائِقَ هذِهِ اْلرموز

وامح بِظُهورِ تَجليِك جمِيِع صِفَاتِى
حتَّى لاَ يكُون لى وجهةٌ إلا إليك
ولاَ يقَع مِّنى نَظَر إلا عليك
O Lord, please regard me with The Eye of mercy and concern
and protection and care
and distinguishing and designation in all things
till nothing veils my regarding You
and I see You with what You enforced me of vision that suffices beyond everything
وانظر اْللَّهم إلى بِعينِ اْلرحمةِ واْلعِنَايةِ
واْلحفظِ واْلرعايةِ

subject to Your people's vision
flooding upon them from Your givings and munificence
واجعلنى خَاضِعاً لِتَجليك
أهلاً لاختِصاصِك وتََوليك
محلَّ نَظَرِك من خَْلقِك
ومفِيضاًَ عليهم من عطائك وفضلك
O Lord:
Who Has the Absolute Richness
and His slave [abd] has the definite poverty
Who Is Wealthy beyond everything, and everything is impoverished to Him
Who controls the fate of everything, and everything's fate refers back to Him
Who Has the Absolute Existence, so no one knows What He Is save Him, and nothing leads to Him except Him, and Who subjugates good deeds to the slave [abd] so that their benefits belong to him
I have no destination save You
and I can only afford the presence of Your generosity and munificence
يامن له الغناء المطلق
ولعبده الفقر المحقق
يا غنيا عن كل شىء وكل شىء مفتقر اليه
ويامن بيده امر كل شىء وامر كل شىء راجع اليه
ويامن له الوجود المطلق فلا يعلم ماهو الا هو ولا يستدل عليه الا به ويا مسخر الاعمال الصالحة للعبد ليعود نفعها عليه
لا مقصد لى غيرك
ولا يسعنى الا جودك وخيرك
O Generous Giver beyond desires
O Bestower of wishes before requests
O Who every requester stops before Him
Who Is Omnipotent and Able over His Destiny
Who Grants everything, and if He wishes Denies and takes back
يا جواد فوق المراد
يا معطى النوال قبل السؤال
يا من وقف دونه قدم كل طالب
يا من هوعلى امره قادر وغالب
يا من هو لكل شىء واهب واذا شاء سالب
I attempt to request from You
but I find that I am Your slave in all states
so take care of me my Majesty, for You are more caring for me than me
How do I intend You, when You are beyond intention
or how do I seek You, when seeking is the essence of distance
Do you seek He Who Is Close and Present?
Or do you pursue He in Whom purpose is lost and bewildered?
seeking does not reach You
and pursue does not befit You
By the manifestations of Your appearance You cannot be reached or comprehended
and the symbols of Your secrets cannot be solved or deciphered
اهم اليك بالسؤال
فأجدنى لك عبدا على كل حال
فتولنى يامولاى فانت اولى بي مني
كيف اقصدك وانت وراء القصد
ام كيف اطلبك والطلب عين البعد
ايطلب من هو قريب حاضر
ام يقصد من القصد فيه تائه وحائر
الطلب لا يصل اليك
والقصد لا يصدق عليك
بجليات ظاهرك لا تُلحق ولا تُدرك
ورموز اسرارك لا تنحلّ ولا تنفك
Can the creature comprehend the essence of Who Created him?
or can the slave [abd] reach the nature of Who enslaved him?
ايعلم الموجود كنه من أوجده
ام يبلغ العبد حقيقة من استعبده

Seeking, intending, closeness and distance are traits of slavery, so what will the slave achieve by his traits
from He Who by Himself is Venerated, Holy and Most Exalted

And every creature is handicapped
and in a position of humility at the Door of Honor
and cannot reach comprehending This Treasure
الطلب والقصد والقرب والبعد صفات العبد فماذا يبلغ العبد بصفاته
ممن هو منزه متعال فى ذاته
وكل مخلوق محله العجز
وفى موقف الذل على باب العز
عن نيل ادراك هذا الكنز
How do I know You when You are The Hidden [Al-Baatin] Who cannot be known
and how do I not know You when You are The Manifest [Az-Zahir] Who reached me in everything?
How do I Unify You while I do not exist in the eye of Singleness
and how do I not Unify You when Unification is the secret of slavery and servitude
كيف اعرفك وانت الباطن الذى لا تُعرف
وكيف لا اعرفك وانت الظاهر الذى الى فى كل شىء تعرف
كيف او حدك ولا وجود لى فى عين الاحدية
وكيف لا او حدك والتوحيد سر العبودية
[Subhanak] (All Glory To You), there is no God save You, and no one ever Unified You
for You Are as You Are since eternity and for eternity
and for sure, no one Unified You save You
and in entirety, no one knew You save You
سبحانك لا اله الا انت ما وحدك من احد
إذ انت كما انت فى سابق الازل ولاحق الابد
فعلى التحقيق ما وحدك احد سواك
وفى الجملة ما عرفك الا اياك
You have Hidden and manifested,
but have not Hidden from You or Manifested for other than You;
for You are You, there is no God save You,
so how does this solve: "He Is The First Last, and The Last First"?
بطنتَ وظهرتَ
فلا عنك بطنت ولا لغيرك ظهرت
فانت انت لا اله الا انت
فكيف بهذا الشكل ينحل هوالاول اخر والاخر اول
O Who Obscured the matter and hid the secret and perplexed
I beseech You to expose for me the secret of Singularity
and to verify for me slavery and servitude
and that I fulfill the dues of Divinity as befits its elevated Presence [Hadra]
for I am present through You as a non-existent trivial event
and You are Present, Everlasting, Ever-Living, Self-Existing by Whom all subsist
Ancient, Eternal, Knowledgeable, Known
So, O Who no one knows What He Is save He
I beg You, O Lord, that I escape from me to You
and that I join with all my components before You
so that my existence does not veil my witnessing (You).
O my Intention, O my Worshipped Lord
فيا من ابهم الامر وابطن السر واوقع فى الحيرة ولا حيرة
اسئلك اللهم كشف سر الاحدية
وتحقيق العبودية
والقيام بالربوبية بما يليق بحضرتها العلية
فانا موجود بك حادث معدوم
وانت موجود باقٍ حى قيوم
قديم ازلى عالم معلوم
فيا من لا يعلم ماهو الا هو
اسئلك اللهم الهرب مني اليك
والجمع بجميع مجموعي عليك
حتى لا يكون وجودى حجابى عن شهودى
يا مقصودى يا معبودى
There is nothing I miss if I find You
and there is nothing I don't know if I witness You
In You I perish, and by You I exist, and You I observe
There Is No God Save You
You Are as You Attested, and as You Taught, and as You Ordered
ما فاتنى شىء اذا انا وجدتك
ولا جهلت شيئا اذا انا شهدتك
فنائى فيك وبقائى بك ومشهودى انت
لا اله الا انت انت
انت كما شهدت وكما علمت وكما امرت
for my witnessing is the essence of my existence
as I witness nothing except me
in my perishing and my existence
and the signal is to me
and the judgement is for me and upon me
and the relation relates to me
and all this is my status
and the matter is mine in appearance and concealment
and the diffusion of the protected guarded secret

I beseech You by the arranging Divinity

that encircles the whole and the totality and the details in depiction and estimation
اللهم إنى اسئلك باللاهوت ذي التدبير

فى التصوير والتقدير
O Lord
I beseech You by Your Self that cannot be reached and cannot be left
and by Your Singleness, that if anyone imagines companionship with it, the he has associated (become an idolater )
and by Your Encompassing, that if anyone suspects other than its everlasting till eternity, then he has deluded
and departed the organization of sincerity
O Who Is not described, out of Sanctification and Glorification, by other than His Traits since eternity
O Who Was Able over everything with His Encompassing and Extreme Greatness
O Who Revealed The Light of His Existence from the darkness of nothingness
O Who Created the images of the planets by what He deposited in His Pen from His knowledge
O Who Explained and Detailed His Statutes by the secrets of His Judgement
I call upon You the calling of someone distant to A Close One
and I seek You the seeking of a lover to A Loved One
and I ask from You the asking of a compelled to A Responsive

and to untie the knots of delusion and doubt
اسئلك اللهم رفع حجاب الغيب

O Lord, please make me live, through You, a dutiful life

and open for me, by Your Ability, the treasure of Heaven and The Throne and The Self
and vanish me beneath The Lights of The Traits
and free me by Your Generosity from all complicating bonds
اللهم احينى بك حياة واجبة

O Lord, my nothingness by You is the eye of being
and my being with You is the eye of nothingness
so replace for me, in place of imagining my being with You, by verifying my nothingness in You
and unify me by consuming me in You
الهى عدمى بك عين الوجود

O Lord
You Are
with strong Grip and Power,
with painful Seizing
with great Subduing
Elevated above opposites and peers
Venerated beyond companion and children
Your affair is conquering the enemies and suppressing the mighty
You plot and plan for whoever You wish, and You are The Best of Plotters
الهى
انت الشديد البطش
الأليم الاخذ
عظيم القهر
المتعالي عن الاضداد والانداد
والمنزه عن الصاحبة والاولاد
شأنك قهر الاعداء وقمع الجبارين
تمكر بمن تشاء وانت خير الماكرين

I ask You, by Your Name with which You grabbed the foreheads
and broke down the fortifications and strongholds
and terrorized the hearts of the enemies
and tormented those deserving distress
to supply me from the subtleties of Your Mighty Name to flow in my partial and total powers till I be able to do what I request
so that the tyranny of any tyrant does not reach me
and the injustice of any arrogant does not affect me
And make my anger for You and in You linked to Your Anger for Your Self
and smear my enemies' faces
and transform them in their places
"...and harden their hearts... [10:88]"
and put up between me and them "... a wall with a gate, the inner side of which contains mercy, and the outer side of which faces toward the chastisement. [57:13]"
Indeed, strong is Your Grip and Power, and painful is Your Seizing
"Such is the seizing of your Lord when He seizes the towns while they are doing wrong. Truly His seizing is painful, severe. [11:102]"
اسئلك باسمك الذى اخذتَ به النواصى
واخرجت به من الصياصى
وقذفتَ به الرعب فى قلوب الاعداء
واشقيت به اهل الشقاء
ان تمدنى برقيقة من رقائق اسمك الشديد تسرى فى قواى الجزئية والكلية حتى اتمكن من فعل ما اريد
فلا يصل الي ظلم ظالم بشىء
ولا يسطوعلي متكبر بجور
واجعل غضبي لك وفيك مقرونا بغضبك لنفسك
واطمس على وجوه اعدائي
وامسخهم على مكانتهم
...وَاشْدُدْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ ...‫﴿يونس: ٨٨﴾
واضرب بيني وبَيْنَهُم "...بِسُورٍ لَّهُ بَابٌ بَاطِنُهُ فِيهِ الرَّحْمَةُ وَظَاهِرُهُ مِن قِبَلِهِ الْعَذَابُ ‫﴿الحديد: ١٣﴾"

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَىٰ وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ ‫﴿هود: ١٠٢﴾‫ ‬
O Lord, please suffice and enrich me by You beyond needing anyone else, an extreme richness far beyond any fortune which might tempt me to the appearance of anyone or the hidden of anything
رب اغننى بك عمن سواك غناء يغنيني غاية الغنا عن كل حظ يدعوني الى ظاهر كل خلق او باطن امر
And grant me utmost facilitation
and elevate me to my end-Lotus (as in 53:14,16)
and show me the existence of the universe repeatedly
till I examine the secret of revelation till the ends
and return to the beginnings
وبلغنى غاية تيسيري
وارفعني الى سدرة منتهاي
واشهدني كون الوجود دوريا والسير كوريا
حتى اعاين سر التنزيل الى النهايات
والعود الى البدايات
till words end, and the letters stop
and the dots are removed
and the one goes back to the two
حتى ينقطع الكلام وتسكن حركة اللام
وتمحى عني نقطة الغين
ويعود الواحد الى الاثنين
O Lord
Please ease for me by the secret that You eased for many of Your allies an easing that clears for me the clouds of hardship
and support me in all this by luminous light
that dazzles that sight of every envious human or djinn
and grant me the talent and gift of profiting in every situation
and enrich me beyond anyone else an enrichment that proves my poverty to You

O My Master
You cause the reasons, and organize them
and divert the hearts, and change them
I beseech You, by the wisdom that necessitated arranging the first reasons
and the effect of higher upon the lower
to show me the arrangement of the reasons in ascent and descent
till I see the hidden by witnessing the manifest
and the first without the last
and I observe the wisdom of arrangement by seeing The Arranger
and The Arranger of reasons preceded by the reason
so that I do not veil the words by the dots
سيدى
انت مسبب الاسباب ومرّتبها
ومصرف القلوب ومقّلبها
اسئلك بالحكمة التى اقتضتْ ترتيب الاسباب الأول
وتأثير الاعلى فى الاسفل
ان تُشهدني ترتيب الاسباب صعودا ونزولا
حتى اشهد الباطن منها بشهود الظاهر
والاول فى غِيرِ الاخر
وألحظ حكمة الترتيب بشهود المرّتب
ومسبب الاسباب مسبوقا بالمسبب
فلا احجب عين العين بالغين
O Lord
Please grant me the key to the permission, which is the cave of knowledge, so that I start in every beginning with Your Name "The Originator" [Al-Badea'] (or with Your Wonderful Name) with which You initiated every written thing
O Who to The Glory of Whose Names every arrogant is abased
and everything is By You, and You Are without us
You Are The Initiator of everything and its Creator
So Praise and Gratitude to You, O Lord, for every initiation
and Thanks and Appreciation to You, O Everlasting, for every conclusion
You are The Drive for every goodness
You are The Hidden of the hidden
The Knower of the objective of all matters
The Expander of sustenance to all worlds
الهي

Please bless me and upon me, O Lord, in the hereafter
as You have blessed Mohammed and all his family
He is from You and to You
and he ;"...is: "In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful. [27:30]
O "Creator of the heavens and the earth; and when He decrees a thing, He but says to it 'Be', and it is. [2:117]"

My Lord: You Are The Established before every established
and The Everlasting after every silent and talking
There is no God save You, and nothing present save You
To You belong all the Arrogance, Might, Majesty, and Dominion
You defeat the mighty
and exterminate the plots of the unjust
and disperse the union of the idolaters
and humiliate the necks of all the arrogant
الهى انت الثابت قبل كل ثابت
والباقي بعد كل صامت وناطق
لا اله الا انت ولا موجود سواك

تقهر الجبارين
وتبيد كيد الظالمين
وتبدد شمل الملحدين
وتذلّ رقاب المتكبرين

I beseech You, O Conqueror of every conqueror
and Reacher of every escaping
please clothe me in the robe of Your Arrogance and the shawl of Your Greatness and the canopy of Your Respect, and in what is beyond this which no one knows save You
clothe me in respect from Your respect to which hearts subdue and visions humble
and give me control over the foreheads of every stubborn tyrant and rebellious devil [Shaytan] whose foreheads You control
and maintain in me the humility of slavery and servitude during all this
اسئلك يا غالب كل غالب
ويا مدرك كل هارب
ردنى برداء كبريائك وازار عظمتك وسرادقات هيبتك وبما وراء ذلك كله مما لا يعلمه الا انت

O Lord
You Are The Existing by Yourself
and The Encompassing by Your Traits

and The Obvious [Al-Zahir] by Your Acts
and The Hidden [Al-Batin] by what no one knows save You
You Are Solitary in Your Splendor

and You Are Unique by Existing for ever and eternity
الهى انت القائم بذاتك

You Are The Lord, The Unique in Oneness in Yourself
No one else is with You, and nothing else is in You
O Lord, I ask You for extinction in Your Everlasting

O Lord
You Are The Ever-Present, The Truth [Al-Haqq]
and my origins are nothingness
Your Everlasting is inherent, and my presence is coincidental

so that I be as I was as I was not
and You as You Are, as You Still Are
There is no God save You

O Lord
You do whatever You Wish
and I am Your slave [abd] from among the slaves
O Lord,
You requested me and requested from me, so I am the requested and You Are The Requester
so Be Your request from me so You Be The Request and I the requester
There is no God save You

O Lord
You Are The Hidden in every unseen
and The Apparent in every object
and The Heard in every truthful and false news
and The Known in the rank of the one and the two
You Named Yourself by The Names of revelation
so You veiled Yourself from the noticing of sights and comprehensions of minds
الهى
انت الباطن فى كل غيب
والظاهر فى كل عين
والمسموع فى كل خبر صدق ومين
والمعلوم فى مرتبة الواحد والاثنين
تسميت باسماء النزول
فاحتجبتَ عن لواحظ العيون واختفيتَ عن مدارك العقول
O Lord
You Have Manifested by the attributes of the manifestations of the characteristics
so the levels of things existing varied
and You Named Yourself in each level by the truths of the things named
and You set up the witnesses of the minds upon the intricacies of the unknown of knowledge
and You set free the initial spirits in the fields of Divine knowledges
so they wandered then were lost in the signals of their surreal subtleties
so when You absented them from the part and the whole
and moved them beyond the when and the where
and Deprived them of the amount and the quality
and Identified to them in the knowledges of nothingness by Self Knowledges
and Freed them by regarding the Lordly Appearances in the Divine Situations
and Dropped from upon them the between
when You Lifted the veil
so they became organized by the order of the old
in the path of "In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful."
الهى
تجليتَ بخصايص تجليات الصفات
فتنوعت مراتب الموجودات
وتسميتَ فى كل مرتبة بحقايق المسميات
ونصبتَ شواهد العقول على دقايق حقايق غيوب المعلومات
واطلقتَ سوابق الارواح فى ميادين المعارف الالهية
فحارت ثم تاهت فى اشارات لطائفها السريانية
فلما غيبتها عن الكلية والجزئية
ونقلتها عن الآنية والاينية
وسلبتها عن الكمية والماهية
وتعرفتَ لها فى معارف التنكير بالمعارف الذاتية
وحررتها بمطالعات الربوبية فى المواقف الالهية

O Lord
How much I call upon You when You Are The Caller
and how much I confide in You when You Are The Confider
الهى
كم اناديك فى النادي وانت المنادي للنادى
وكم اناجيك بمناجاة المناجي وانت المناجي للناجي
O Lord
If connecting is the eye of severance
and proximity the same as distancing
and science the position of ignorance
and knowledge the settlement of nothingness
then what is the intention and where is the path?
الهى
اذا كان الوصل عين القطع
والقرب نفس البعد
والعلم موضع الجهل
والمعرفة مستقر التنكير
فكيف القصد ومن اين السبيل
O Lord
You Are The Requested by every intender
and The Confirmation in the face of the denier
and The Close Closeness in the distanced difference
Illusion has overtaken understanding, so who is fortunate and who is the assistant?
Beauty says "don't dare" and ugliness calls: "Who perfected everything that He created [32:7]"
the first is a goal where the course stops
and the second is a veil due to illusion of otherness
الهى
انت المطلوب وراء كل قاصد
والاقرار فى عين الجاحد
وقرب القرب فى الفرق المتباعد
وقد استولى الوهم على الفهم فمن المسعد ومن المساعد
الحسن يقول اياك والقبح ينادي ؛ "الَّذِي أَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ.... ‫﴿السجدة: ٧﴾"
فالاول غاية يقف عندها السير
والثانى حجاب بحكم توهم الغير
O Lord
When will the mind free from the shackles of obstacles
and the glances of thought notice the beauty of goodness in the eyes of truths
and thought separates from the origin of lies
and illusion dissolves from the muds of the ropes of association and idolation [shirk]
and conception is freed from the different differences of different groups
and the precious self [nafs] is freed from the manners of the habits of people
الهى
متى يتخلص العقل من عقال العوائق
وتلحظ لواحظ الفكر محاسن الحسنى من اعين الحقايق
وينفك الفهم عن اصل الافك
ويتحلل الوهم من اوحال حبال اشراك الشرك
وينجو التصور من فرق فرق الفرق
ويتجرد النفس النفيسة من خلق اخلاق تخلقات الخلق
O Lord
Obediences do not benefit You
and disobediences do not harm You
and You Are Able to conquer the might of the kingdoms of all hearts and foreheads
and to You all matter is returned, so nothing is related to anyone, whether obedient or disobedient
الهى
لا تنفعك الطاعات
ولا تضرك المعاصى
وبيدك قهر سلطان ملكوت القلوب والنواصي
واليك يرجع الامر كله فلا نسبة للطايع والعاصى
O Lord
You Are Not confined by obligation
and Not limited by ability
and Not veiled by ambiguity
and Not clarified by statement or appearance
الهى
انت لا يحصرك الوجوب
ولا يحدك الامكان
ولا يحجبك الابهام
ولا يوضحك البيان
O Lord
evidence does not support You
and proof does not verify You
O Lord
forever and eternity are equal for You
O Lord
What Are You, and what am I, and what is he, and what is she.
الهى
انت لا يرجحك الدليل
ولا يحققك البرهان
الهى
انت الابد والازل فى حقك سيان
الهى
ما انت وما انا وما هو وما هى
O Lord
Do I seek You in a crowd or in solitude?
and is it for a duration that I wait for Your Relief or for period?
And there is no preparation or support for a slave [abd] without You
الهى
فى الكثرة اطلبك ام فى الوحدة
وبالامد انتظر فرجك ام بالمدة
ولا عدة لعبد دونك ولا عمدة
O Lord
My remaining by You is in my extinction from me; or in You; or by You
and my extinction is affirmed by You; or imagined by me? or the opposite; or is it a combined matter?
and so is my remaining in You
الهى
بقائى بك فى فنائى عني ام فيك ام بك
وفنائى كذلك محقق بك ام متوهم بى ام العكس ام هو امر مشترك
وكذلك بقائي فيك
O Lord
My silence is dumbness necessitating deafness
and my talking is deafness necessitating muteness
and confusion is in all this, and there is no confusion:
الهى
سكوتى خرس يوجب الصمم
وكلامى صمم يوجب البكم
والحيرة فى كل ذلك ولا حيرة
"In The Name of Allah": sufficient for me is "In the Name of Allah ", and "By Allah "
"In The Name of Allah " I entrust in Allah
"In The Name of Allah " I ask of Allah
"In The Name of Allah " and "There Is no help or power save with Allah, The Most High, The Most Great"

You Are my Protector and My Lord
and by You is my death and my life
it is You we worship, and You we seek help from
O Lord, please regard me with a glance with which You organize all my stages
and purify the secret of my secrets
and with which You elevate among the High Council (of close angels) the spirits of my thoughts
and strengthen with it the supplies of my lights
اللهم وانقلني من دركات خلقي وخُلُقي الى درجات حقك وحقيقتك
انت وليي ومولاى
وبك مماتى ومحياى
اياك نعبد واياك نستعين
انظر اللهم الي نظرة تنظم بها جميع اطواري
وتطهر بها سريرة اسراري
وترفع بها في الملأ العلي ارواح افكاري
وتقوي بها مداد انواري
O Lord, please conceal and seclude me from all Your creatures,
and unite me with You by Your right,
and save me by witnessing the execution of Your orders in the worlds of Your sovereignty.
اللهم غيبني عن جميع خلقك
واجمعني عليك بحقك
واحفظنى بشهود تصرفات امرك فى عوالم فرقك
O Lord, by You I begged,
and to You I directed myself,
and You I asked,
and for only You I wanted.
I beg You for nothing but You,
and I only request You from You.
اللهم بك توسلت
واليك توجهت
ومنك سألت
وفيك لا فى شىء سواك رغبت
لا اسئلك سواك
ولا اطلب منك الا اياك

and the grandest virtue,
and the closest loved one,
and the supported ally,

the accepted friend,
the selected prophet,

وينقلب عني بصره خاسئا كليلا
O to Whom the faces yielded and the necks submitted
O Lord of the lords
Please distance me from whatever severs me from the thoughts of Your Closeness
and clothe me in what befits my traits by overtaking them by The Lights of Your Traits
and remove the injustice of my habits and my humanity by a manifestation from a glimpse of Your Lights
and supply me from Royal Power
by which I defeat what overtook me of lowly habits
and foul manners
and erase from the tablet of my thoughts the figures of beings
and ascertain in it by Your Care the secret of Your previous closeness, between the "B" and the "E"
"His command when He wills a thing, is just to say to it ‘Be’, and it is. [36:82] So glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion of all things and to Whom you will be returned. [36:83]"
يا من عنت له الوجوه وخضعت له الرقاب
يا رب الارباب
رب وابعدنى عن القواطع التى تقطعنى عن خطرات قربك
والبسنى ما يليق بصفاتى بغلبة انوار صفاتك
وازح ظلم طبعي وبشريتي بتجلي بارقة من بوراق انوار ذاتك
وامددننى بقوة ملكية
اقهر بها ما استولى علي من الطبايع الدنيه
والاخلاق الرزية
وامح من لوح فكري اشكال الاكوان
واثبت فيه بيد عنايتك سر حرز قربك السابق المكنون بين الكاف والنون
إِنَّمَا أَمْرُهُ إِذَا أَرَادَ شَيْئًا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ ‫﴿٨٢﴾فَسُبْحَانَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ‫﴿٨٣﴾﴿يس﴾

O Light of Lights
O Granter to everyone from the abundance of His showering Grace
O Eternally Besought [Ya Ssamadd], O Most Holy [Ya Quddoos]
O Subduer [Ya Qahhar], O Preserver [Ya Hafeez]
O Gentle, Knower of subtleties [Ya Lateef],
O Lord of all Worlds
يا نور النور
يا معطي الكل من فيض فضله المدرار
يا صمد يا قدوس
يا قهار يا حفيظ
يا لطيف يارب العالمين
And The Lord sent prayers upon Sayyidina Mohammed and upon all his family and companions, and praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.

My Master
Your Remaining is Ever-Lasting
and Your Judgement is executed in all creation
and You Are Sanctified in Your Elevation
and You Are Elevated in Your Sanctity
سيدى
دام بقاؤك
ونفذ فى الخلق قضاؤك
وتقدستَ فى علوك
وتعاليت فى قدسك
Preserving the universe does not burden You
and exposing everything is not hidden from You
You call whom You wish to You
and You Guide to You by You
so to You is perpetual Praise and Gratitude, and Most Glorious Permanence
I ask You for time that is clear with what You require of appropriate dealing, intending closeness to You as a result
conditional upon Your acceptance
and grant me a secret that exposes to me the truths of actions
and specify me with wisdom, with which is judgement and signal
associated with comprehension that You Are The Protector of Your allies
and The Responder to whoever asks from You
لا يؤودك حفظ كون
ولا يخفى عنك كشف عين
تدعومن تشاء اليك
وتدلّ بك عليك
فلك الحمد الدائم والدوام الامجد
اسئلك وقتا صافيا بما تريد بمعاملة لائقة تكون غايتها قربك من نتايج الاعمال
موقوفة على رضوانك
وهب لى سرا يكشف لي عن حقائق الاعمال
واخصصني بحكمة معها حكم واشارة
يصحبها فهم انك ولي من تولاك
ومجيب من دعاك
O Lord, please continuously maintain Your Graces upon me
and my witnessing You
and show me my self from where You are and not as it is
so that I be by You and not me.
الهى ادم بقاء نعمائك علي
ومشاهدتك لدي
واشهدني ذاتي من حيث انت لا من حيث هي
حتى اكون بك ولا انا
And grant me from Your Knowledge what draws to me every soul that knows that You Are The All-Knowing The Knowledgeable
"Blessed be the Name of your Lord, He of Majesty and Munificence. [55:78]"
"And with Him are the keys of the Unseen; none but He knows them. He knows what is on land and in the waters; ....[6:59]"

وهب لي من لدنك علما تنقاد الي فيه كل روح عالمة انك انت العليم العلام
تَبَارَكَ اسْمُ رَبِّكَ ذِي الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ ‫﴿الرحمن: ٧٨﴾
وَعِندَهُ مَفَاتِحُ الْغَيْبِ لَا يَعْلَمُهَا إِلَّا هُوَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ ... ‫﴿الأنعام: ٥٩﴾
O Lord: send upon me a glimpse from Your Light that exposes for me every concealed in me, so I witness my complete existence
You Are where You Are, not from where I am
so I draw close to You by erasing my description from me, as You drew close to me be adding Your Light upon me
رب افض علي شعاعا من نورك يكشف لي عن كل مستور في
حتى اشاهد وجودى كاملا
أنت حيث انت لا من حيث انا
فاتقرب اليك بمحو صفتي مني كما تقربتَ الى بإضافة نورك علي
O Lord: possibility is my description
and nothingness my tools
and poverty my residence
and Your presence my reason
and Your ability my doer
and You my aim
Suffices me of You Your knowledge of my ignorance
You Are above what I know, and You Are with everything, and nothing is with You
ربِّ الأمكان صفتي
والعدم مادتي
والفقر مقري
و وجودك علتي
وقدرتك فاعلي
وانت غايتي
حسبى منك علمك بجهلي
انت فوق ما أعلم وانت مع كل شىء وليس معك شىء
You allowed the tracks for the paths
and You arranged the benefits and the harms
and You proved the way of good
and in all this we are by You, and You without us
for You Are The Pure Good
and The Mere Generosity
and The Absolute Perfection
قدرتَ المنازل للسير
ورّتبت المنافع والضر
واثبت منهاج الخير
فنحن فى ذلك كله بك وانت بلا نحن
فأنت الخير المحض
والجود الصرف
والكمال المطلق
I ask You by Your Name by which You flooded goodness over the receivers
and with which You wiped the blackness of the darknesses
to fill my existence with light from Your Light
that is the substance of all light
and the intention of every desire
so that nothing of what You deposited in the atoms of my existence is concealed from me
اسئلك باسمك الذى افضتَ به الخيرات على القوابل
ومحوتَ به ظلمة الغواسق
ان تملأ وجودي نوراً من نورك
الذي هو مادة كل نور
وغاية كل مطلوب
حتى لا يخفى عني شىء مما او دعتَ فى ذرات وجودي
And grant me a truthful tongue
expressing the witnessing of The Truth
and specialize me with eloquent talk that achieves clarification and expressiveness
and safeguard me in every word from claiming what is not true
and make me insightful, me and whoever follows me
وهب لي لسان صدق
معبرا عن شهود حق
واخصصنى من جوامع الكلم بما يحصل به الابانة والبلاغة
واعصمنى فى كل كلمة من دعوى ما ليس لي بحق
واجعلني على بصيرة انا ومن اّتبعني
O Lord, I seek refuge with You from talk that begets confusion
or is followed by sedition
or brings on the illusion of delusion
اللهم اني اعوذ بك من قول يوجب حيرة
او يعقب فتنة
او يوهم شبهة
from You words are received
and wisdom is taken
and You uphold the skies
and teach the Names
There is no God save You, The One [Al-Wahid], The Single [Al-Ahad], The Singular [Al-Fard], The Self-Sufficient, Besought of all [The Ssamadd].
Who has neither begot, nor was begotten, and nor is there anyone equal to Him.
منك تُتلقى الكِلم
وعنك يؤخذ الحكم
انت ممسك السماء
ومعّلم الاسماء
لا إله الا انت الواحد الاحد الفرد الصمد
الذى لم يلد ولم يولد ولم يكن له كفوا احد
And The Lord sent prayers upon Sayyidina Mohammed and upon all his family and companions, and praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.

O Lord, I ask You for the extinction of the "where" of my existence

and connect to me Your initial word to the better selected ones
and overtake my affairs by Your Choice in the stages and the wishes
and victor me by Unification, and by levelness in both movement and stillness
