Hello and welcome! I am delighted that you have joined this course and that together we will embark on an exploration of one of the most profound mystical works in history—Fuṣūṣ al-Ḥikam (The Seals of Wisdom) by Ibn ʿArabī.
In this series, I explore the Preface and Chapter One (Faṣṣ One) of the Fuṣūṣ in depth, carefully analyzing its themes and concepts across multiple sessions. Each video provides a detailed interpretation based on the most authoritative commentaries—Qūnawī, Qayṣarī, Jāmī, and Kāshānī—alongside my own analysis. The aim is to make Ibn ʿArabī’s complex and layered insights accessible in English while preserving their intellectual and spiritual depth.
The course is structured as a complete journey of TEN VIDEO EPISODES:
- Episodes 1–3 and 7 are free to all.
- Six Episodes are EXCLUSIVE to course participants.
Across this season, I uncover the metaphysical and sufi richness of the Fuṣūṣ and its continuing relevance to studying sufism, Islamic metaphysics, and the pursuit of spiritual wisdom.
Whether you are a sufism, philosophy, or metaphysics scholar/student, or simply curious about Ibn ʿArabī’s thought, this course offers structured guidance and an opportunity to engage with a text that has inspired centuries of scholarship and devotion.
