Ismail Hakki Bursevi's Translation of and Commentary on Fusus al-Hikam. Volume 4

VOLUME 4: The Fusus Al-Hikam is the major work of Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi, known as the "Greatest Shaykh." Its theme is the Infinite Wisdom which is at once unique in Itself and many-faceted in its representation in the line of prophets from Adam to Mohammed. It is simultaneously an explanation of the profoundest meaning of man's existence and perfectability, and an esoteric exegsis of the Quran. In treating of the Divine Wisdom, it is so faithful to its subject that the book is itself a paradigm of its theme. This work is the only major commentary to have been translated into English from Ottoman Turkish by Bulent Rauf, in 4 volumes (1985-1991). Volume 4 contains pages 761-1114.
