101 Hadith Qudsi by pImam ibn Arabi

introduction
Islamic world simply as al-shaykh al-akbar, “the greatest master”.
He dedicated his whole life to exposing, at the deepest level, the
primordial Unity underlying all human and natural life, in all
its richness and complexity. Author of several hundred works,
covering the whole vast range of Islamic mysticism and spiritual
thought, he has exerted an unparalleled in¦uence on generations
of Muslims. Many of these later students have become beacons of
wisdom in their own right. In recent years, as more of his writings
have been translated into Western languages, there has been
an ever-growing appreciation of his importance as a champion of
boundless compassion. This translation of the Mishkåt al-anwår
is the first in the English language based on a new authoritative
edition of the original Arabic. 1

hardback edition. Previous editions include Muhammad Vâlsan’s bilingual version
in 1983.
