Patterns of Contemplation is a uniquely innovative and
comprehensive introduction to the sacred principles and symbolism
of geometry, letters and numbers, discussed through the first
in-depth analysis and English translation of a major Sufi
devotional masterpiece, The Blessing-Prayer of Effusion (al-?alat
al-fay?iyya). It examines the kaleidoscopic structure of this
prayer on the Prophet Muhammad, who authored it, and how it reveals
profound teachings on human perfection.
Providing a precious glimpse into the practice of the mystical life
within the Sufi tradition, this volume marks the first time that a
complete edition of Ibn ‘ Arabi's prayers has been made
available. The Arabic is based on the best surviving manuscripts,
alongside an English translation and transliteration, for
recitation. The 14 prayers include not only the most astounding
expressions of devotion and contemplation, but also an unparalleled
depth of knowledge of union. The very structure of the prayers is
itself a mode of contemplation, making for a unique spiritual
experience.
