"Classics in a classic collection...clearly a must for all
libraries, from the university to the small town, and for all
readers interested in spirituality..." Religious Studies Review Ibn
Al' Arabi: The Bezels of Wisdom translation and introduction by
R.W.J. Austin, preface by Titus Burckardt "It is from God, so hear!
And to god do you return! When you hear what I bring, learn! Then
with understanding see The details in the whole And also see them
as part of the whole. Then give it to those Who seek it, and stint
not. This is the mercy that Encompasses you; so extend it. Ibn
Al-'Arabi, 1165-1240 Called by Moslems "the greatest master," Ibn
Al-'Arabi was a Sufi born in twelfth-century Spain. The Bezels of
Wisdom was written during the author's later years and was intended
to be a synthesis of his spiritual doctrine. Bezel means a setting
in which a gem, engraved with one's name, is set to make a seal
ring. The setting in which Ibn Al-'Arabi has placed his spiritual
wisdom are the lives of the prophets. It was in Damascus that he
had the vision that prompted him to write this book. He describes
it in his preface: "I saw the Apostle of God in a visitation...He
had in his hand a book and he said to me, 'This is the book of the
bezels of Wisdom; take it and bring it to men that they might
benefit from it.'" The book portrays the wisdom of love through
Abraham, of the unseen through Job, of light through Joseph, of
intimacy through Elias and so on. Ibn Al-'Arabi invites us in these
pages to explore the inner spiritual meanings of the Quran, its
heartful meanings. In one of his poems he stated, "Love is the
creed I hold: wherever turns His camels, Love is still my creed and
faith."
