This book offers a sustained philosophical study of sarayān—the “permeation” of the Real (al-Haqq) throughout existence—in Ibn ʿArabi’s metaphysics. While the doctrine of waḥdat al-wujūd (the unity of being) has long stood at the center of Islamic metaphysical thought, the dynamic principle that makes this unity experientially and cosmologically intelligible has rarely been examined in its own right. Here, permeation emerges as the living grammar of divine presence. Through a close reading of Fusus al-Hikam, the book reconstructs Ibn ʿArabi’s ontology of continuous theophany, fixed entities, imagination, and the Perfect Human. Select insights from Plotinus’ doctrine of emanation serve not to reduce Ibn ʿArabi to Neoplatonism, but to clarify the philosophical structure of procession, mediation, and return. The comparison operates at the level of conceptual analogy rather than historical influence. Beyond ontology, this study explores the ethical and existential implications of a world understood as continuously permeated by the Real. If existence itself is theophany, then nature, human relations, and ordinary life become sites of divine disclosure. Permeation thus appears not only as a metaphysical principle, but as a transformative vision capable of reshaping perception, responsibility, and lived experience.
