- In this very long video, I give an introduction to one of the most significant, yet often misunderstood thinkers and mystics in history - Ibn 'Arabi.
The video will be released in parts soon as well, but I wanted to put this up first as an epic, full introduction to his life and ideas.

This video came at a particularly difficult period of
my life. My beautiful 32yo son had died of a fentanyl overdose.
We adopted him at 6yo from an orphange in Hungary charged with physical
and many other kinds of abuse. He was the protector of his two siblings, taking beatings
for them and abuse. He fathered them; the trauma was very deep. He used drugs to
dull the pain. Abused kids too commonly take this easy way out.
He was exceptionally bright. He studied in jail deeply the works of Idries Shah
and Plato. He really understood them. I loved this kid deeply; we had an almost telepathic
connection. This video on Ibn Arabi filled in a missing piece for me.
Loving Greg was a process of looking deeply and finding that Divine spark inside him that
he had begun polishing. I looked and found that spark and saw my own reflection.
Existence is at its core the Divine love. From the despair of loss this lecture helped me
find the core of love from the Source. This post is unlike most others. You may delete it.
I wanted to communicate the peace that your work provided me,
Thank you
g
please no "sorry for your loss" wrong forum. I realized there is no loss, I know the source of my love now, it radiated through him.
Allah sabır versin .
@George Collison: Amazing! Not many people are willing to take the journey you have taken. It takes a certain kind of courage that is not generally recognized.
🤍
bless you

As a born Muslim I am ashamed by my lack of knowledge about these figures of Islamic Golden Age. Thank you for such a nice and non bias discussion.
Us Catholic's have a long long list of Saints that did who know what (well scholars know).
As a Muslim your focus is on your Creator.
@@princenameless why bro we have to know who these people we’re
Ibn Arabi's views are unIslamic. Which is fine. "unity of being" is a much better idea than the Islamic view of the world.
@@freepagan
His views are mystical and hence require discernment but to say they are unislamic would require you to know what Islam really is.
You are undooubtedly one of the best teachers I have ever had the privilege of learning from, in all my 50 years at Yale, Harvard, and Cambridge. Thank you!
It’s true we need to get him to everyone to hear the history because the west sees Islam and middle eastern life violent cave men … but the truth is we have the knowledge but only the people who seek it and letting all their ego down
Agree❤ beautifully demonstrated in great perspective
But Why one-eyed Egyptian pyramid on 1 $ USA❓There also written "in God we trust" So they believe in one-eyed antichrist❓ Left-eyed antichrist symbol❓To open this 3rd eye, irani Shia sufi Monsor Hallaj also used to worship jin satan like the Kabbalah Jews, Christian saints, Buddhists monks, hindu pandits, roman, Greeks etc. Illuminati, freemasons who are always busy to open the 3rd eye to reach the highest level of spirituality to possess the supernatural powers.
that's why these blasphemous words “anal haq (I’m truth/god) and prostrate to me” were coming out from the mouth of mansur hallaj Sufi.
But our prophet (ﷺ) warned about the one-eyed antichrist (dajjal) who will be blind in right eye. And this Left-eyed antichrist will also claim to be the beggten son of God or God and savior for each sects of religions to deceive them. The antichrist will lead the infidels and the world with mighty evil powers (false miracles).
During the 9/11 George Bush was busy in teaching a school's students these words 'Kite hit Plane Steel must' (which means A kiting plane must collide with steel) from his favorite book titled 'my Pet Goat' (his God satan Baphomet) ! Meanwhile Bush was informed that America is under attack but bush stayed their more than 7 minutes as he was working according to the planning of the Baphomet devil in order to capture the Afghanistan!
USA & EU (Germany, France) are now selling their weapons to the world 🌎! illuminati freemasons, followers of antichrist dajjal sell weapons all over world 🌎. Actually they're behind all the violence unrests happening all over world 🌎.
People from different countries are donating to Ukraine but it goes for buying weapons.
We need to ask this question: Why one-eyed Egyptian pyramid on one $ USA❓There also written "in god we trust" so they believe in one-eyed antichrist❓Left-eyed antichrist symbol❓
"No prophet was sent but that he warned his nation of the one-eyed liar. Verily, he (antichrist) is blind in one (right) eye and your Lord (ALLAH) is not. Verily, between his two eyes is written the word of unbelief “which every believer can read whether he is literate or not." Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 6712, Sahih Muslim 2933: Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi (authenticity agreed upon) according to Al-Bukhari and Muslim
May Almighty ALLAH protect us from this antichrist (dajjalik) fitna. Aameen
I did agree with jarrah Ben jabbal.
We as Muslims should never ever be so close minded.
This young teachers accent his demeanor and his knowledge is some huge skill. I am blessed to find him. In these times holding a book and reading has become a treat. This teacher is giving it to us with one click.
Respect for all.
@Jarrah Ben jabbal wtf are you talking about?
Brother, I am a Muslim both by birth and choice, as well as a student of Islamic Theology who has done a thesis at University on the Fusus al Hikam - I can proudly say: You did a great job.
Looking forward to more of Ibn Arabi from you.
Thank you for this and in advance for the upcoming.

I listened to this video twice and the time absolutely flew by, we are so blessed to be alive during a time when information is so readily available and we have people like yourself willing to dedicate their own time to making quality content
Also,one notices from the Gospel of John 1:21 that the Jews were waiting for the fulfillment of 3 distinct prophecies: The 1st was the coming of the Christ. The 2nd was the coming of the Elijah. The 3rd was the coming of the Prophet (Muhammad, an Arabian messenger mentioned in Duetornomy 18:15-22 to fulfill the prophecies of Isaiah 42 (Bible).
Indeed Bible mentions the pilgrims passing through the valley of Ba’ca (another name of Makka) in Psalms 84:4-6. 📖 Isaiah 42:1-13 speaks of the beloved of GOD. His elect and messenger who will bring down a law to be awaited in the isles and who “shall not fail not be discouraged till he have set judgment on earth.” (Isaiah 42:4)
📖 Isaiah 42, Verse 11 connects that awaited one with the descendants of Ke’dar. Who is Ke’dar? According to 📖 Genesis 25:13, Ke’dar was the second son of Ishmael, the ancestor of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
📖 Psalms 84:4-6 NKJV
"Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; They will still be praising You. Selah Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Whose heart is set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools."
The Awaited Prophet Was to Come From Arabia: 📖 Deuteronomy 33:1-2 combines references to Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. It speaks of God (i.e. God’s revelation) coming from Sinai, rising from Seir (probably the village of Sa’ir near Jerusalem) and shining forth from Paran. According to 📖 Genesis 21:21, the wilderness of Paran was the place where Ishmael settled (i.e. Arabia, specifically Makka).
The Old Testament also tells us that Ishmael dwelt in a place called Paran: 📖 "While he (Ishmael) was living in the Desert of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from Egypt." [Genesis 21:21]
It's also an act of sacrifice by Abraham to leave his beloved son Ishmael in the desert for the sake of ALLAH. 📖 Then GOD said, "Take your son, your only son (at that time Ishmael was the only son not Isaac), whom you love, and Sacrifice him..- Gen 22:2 (NIV)
Ibrahim sacrificed his love for Ishmael to please the True God.
if Christian missionary/monk/church/paster/priests or Jewish rabbis try to deceive you by telling the open lie that Ishmael is abandoned or banished, then never believe those lairs/deceivers. Because Ishmael is included in the covenant of Abraham and told that he will be blessed by GOD in Torah.
📖 Isaiah 60:7 New American Bible
All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered for you, the rams of Nebaioth shall serve your needs; They will be acceptable offerings on my altar, and I will glorify my glorious house.
📖 Genesis 25:13 clearly sayss that Kedar and Nebaioth are sons of Ishmael.
Now we can see that Bible clearly speaks about the Hajj in Mekkha and the rising of the Final prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) of Bible from Medinah, Saudi Arabia.
Because the Arabia shall Rejoice by His coming. Moving to Isaiah 42:11, we see that prophecy gives 2 special places; Kedar and Sela:
📖 Isaiah 42:11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
The Old Testament scholar Charles Foster also identifies the the "Land of Kedar" with ‘Hedjaz’ which is Western Saudi Arabia including its famous cities of Makkah and Madina. [Charles Foster, The historical geography of Arabia, P. 130]
We can see, like the Qur’an, Abraham is given glad tidings with respect to his descendants. That's why Isaiah talks about the rejoicing of the inhabitants of Kedar (2nd son of Ishmael), which is Western Saudi Arabia, Medinah city where our prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), migrated and the people of sela sang with joy to welcome the true prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) mentioned in Isaiah 42 and duetornomy 18:15-22 (Bible)!
In fact GOD promises to establish his covenant with all of Abraham’s “seed” without exception: 📖 Genesis 17:7 I (GOD) will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your GOD and the GOD of your descendants after you.
God informs Abraham that the sign of the covenant shall be circumcision: 📖 This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised. [Genesis 17:10]
We are told that Abraham immediately circumcises himself and Ishmael, thus establishing God’s covenant with Ishmael: 📖 On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or bought with his money, every male in his household, and circumcised them, as God told him. [Genesis 17:23]
we are told that Ishmael will have many descendants and that he will be “made into a great nation”: 📖 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of 12 rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. [Genesis 17:20]
A great nation must refer to one led by a Prophet since this is greatness in GOD’s sight, not mere wealth or power. Throughout the Bible, many disbelieving and evil nations achieved great wealth and power, so it makes more sense that GOD’s promise about Ishmael must amount to spiritual, and not material, blessing.
Remember Isaiah 42:11 confirms it by mentioning the rejoicing of the Land of Kedar.
New International Version
📖 Isaiah 42:11 Let the wilderness and its towns raise their voices; let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice. Let the people of Sela (in Medina) sing for joy; let them shout from the mountaintops
One of the earliest biographies of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), Tabaqat Ibn Sa’d (d. 845 CE), documents one of the chains of genealogy, which confirms that the Prophet was a direct descendant of Ishmael through his second son Kedar.
In summary we have established that Ishmael and his descendants, specifically Kedar, settled in modern day Western Saudi Arabia.Recall that Isaiah mentions Kedar in conjunction with a ‘Sela’:Isaiah 42:11 “Let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice. Let the people of Sela sing for joy…“Whilst it’s true that Saudi Arabia represents a wide geographic region, the use of the word ‘Sela’ pinpoints an exact location. The place being spoken of is actually the city of Madinah because ‘Sela’ is the name of a famous mountain in Madinah. Madinah was the city of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)
📖 3:187 (And remember) when ALLAH took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) to make it (the news of the coming of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and the religious knowledge) known and clear to mankind, and not to hide it, but they threw it away behind their backs, and purchased with it some miserable gain! And indeed worst is that which they bought.
If anyone wants to research further then I highly recommend “Prophet Muhammad: The Last Messenger In The Bible” by Kais Al Kalby which is easily the best book on this topic. Very comprehensive and even goes into Muhammad (ﷺ) in the Hindu and Zoroastrian scriptures.
Loveliest listeners and the person who presented this on youtube are magnificent and luckiest people's on this planet earth.

What’s crazy is in any other time period you’d have to come from some decent family or have a patron to learn this type of stuff and hear it from a learned source. Now it’s just on CZcams for anyone to freely get into it and have their own journey. Thank you for this!
Great Saint of Islam who need to be studied in depth
Nope...this knowledge was transferred from the Sufi teachers to disciples and had nothing to do with socioecnomic background of a person...if a person is truly willing his sheikh himself finds a way to him(well some people are lucky to find a sheikh just because they were born to the people who have already found their sheikh)...This knowledge itself can't change anyone as most Pakistanis come across this knowledge in the form Sufi music quite often...nothing changes untill a heart changes and the concept of Sufism is to Fana(annihilate yourself before God)and no amount of theoretical knowledge teaches you that no matter how profound and relevant...mansur alhaj achieved that stage without teacher but the knowledge might have been so profound that there was no teacher to contain and pacify him when mansur reached the truth
It Takes no family birthright, to find THE ONE. IT CAN'T BE GIVEN FROM ONE TO ANOTHER, FOR IT CAN ONLY BE REALIZED BY EACH INDIVIDUAL in their own time.
I don't know if you read these comments, but just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed listening to your videos. I am a Muslim but have had difficulties relating to aspects of our religion, but understanding the philosophical and intellectual heritage of our religion, and connecting to the heart of Islam, has really awakened a new relationship with Islam for me. Your videos are really well researched and presented. Thanks for all your work :)
You must be Algerian or Maghrebian? I actually feel the same way you do. I believe it has to do with the people we grew up around who tried to teach us with anger and sometimes violence and gave us a bad taste about Islam and Muslims. I've studied almost every other religion and finding myself slowly reconciling with Islam through the wisdom of Sufism
I'm an Arab Muslim from Morocco.
I watched your video, and I was astonished to the extent of your analysis especially in the 2nd part. Congratulations from my heart!
I would love to see a part 2 that goes more in depth into ibn Arabi's metaphysics/cosmology, regarding insan al kamil etc

Islam emphasizes the absolute uniqueness and singularity of GOD in his essence, attributes, qualities, and acts. As stated in Surat al-Ikhlas: GOD is Ahad (the unique one of absolute oneness, who is indivisible in nature, and there can be no other like him); GOD is al-Samad (the ultimate source of all existence, the uncaused cause who created all things out of nothing, who is eternal, absolute, immutable, perfect, complete, essential, independent, and self-sufficient; who needs nothing while all of creation is in absolute need of him; the one eternally and constantly required and sought, depended upon by all existence and to whom all matters will ultimately return); he begets not, nor is he begotten (He is Unborn and Uncreated, has no parents, wife or offspring); and comparable/equal to him, there is none.
Who is ALLAH? It is important to note that "ALLAH" is the same word that Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews use for GOD. If you pick up an Arabic Bible, you will see the word "ALLAH" being used where "GOD" is used in English. This is because "ALLAH" is a word in the Arabic language equivalent to the English word "God" with a capital "G". Additionally, the word "ALLAH" cannot be made plural, a fact which goes hand-in-hand with the Islamic concept of GOD"
ALLAH is referring to GOD, Creator Who is One. Infinite, Eternal, no vision can grasp Him. Sustainer of all that exists. Noah, Abraham, Solomon, David, Ismael, Isaac, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them) all taught to pray to GOD alone.
Who is ALLAH? 2:155 ALLAH - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He (ALLAH) knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not.
And He (ALLAH) is the Most High, the Most Great.
Holy Qur'an, Surah Baqarah, Verse 255
Who is ALLAH? 59:22. He is ALLAH. There is no god but He, the Knower of secrets and declarations. He is the Compassionate, the Merciful.
59:23. He is ALLAH; besides Whom there is no god; the Sovereign, the Holy, the Peace-Giver, the Faith-Giver, the Overseer, the Almighty, the Omnipotent, the Overwhelming. Glory be to ALLAH, beyond what they associate.
59:24. He is ALLAH; the Creator, the Maker, the Designer. His are the Most Beautiful Names. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him. He is the Majestic, the Wise.
The Quran, surah Al-Hashr 59:22-24 |
It is He (ALLAH) Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its rounded course.(21:33). All [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming; each in an orbit floating; all (orbs) travel along swiftly in their celestial spheres. "And from among His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not bow down (worship or prostrate) to the sun nor to the moon, but only bow down (worship or prostrate) to "ALLAH" Who created them, if you (really) worship Him." [Quran Chapter 41:37]
55:5 The sun and the moon [move] by precise calculation (determined by ALLAH)!
None will understand what Ibn Arabi thought about, unless he/she experiences Sufism, which is the hardest practice in Islam.

Do you know why it's taught that To be a Christian you need to keep repeating that Jesus is God? And why irani shia-rafizi says that Ali (R:) is God? And why pir-sufi says that To reach the highest level of spirituaity you need to repeat that 'I'm God and prostrate to me' like irani shia Sufi monsor hallaj (pir of dewbondi, tableeghi Jamaat, berelvi (Rizvi)?
Because anti-christ dajjal will say that "I'am god/beggten son of God & prostrate to me!
True Muslims will reject anti-christ for blaspheming (death penalty by TRUE GOD's Law for claiming such divinity)
Because Eesa messiah (Alaihissalam) and Ali (R) never said that 'I am god or worship me.'
Because Our beloved Prophet (ﷺ) never said that “I am GOD or prostrate to me!"
May ALLAH Almighty protect us from this antichrist (dajjalik) fitna. Aameen
Rather our beloved Prophet (ﷺ) said
Do not exaggerate status of the Prophet: Umar ibn al-Khattab reported: The Messenger (ﷺ) of ALLAH, said, “Do not exaggerate my praises as the Christians have done with the son of Mary. Verily, I am only a servant, so refer to me as the servant of ALLAH and his messenger.” Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 3261 Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Bukhari

Isaiah 42:1- Here is my servant (abd - ullah), whom I uphold my chosen one (Mustafa) in whom I delight (Habibullah’); I will put my Spirit on him, and he (Prophet Muhhammad) will bring justice to the nations.
I am Hindu 🕉 but I love Sufism and Rumi is my favorite poet 💕 . This is a very deep spiritual path in Islamic scriptures. I think these mystics are evolved souls, religion is many but God is one !!! Blessings from NYC
💐🌲☃️🌲☃️🌲☃️💐
Rumi is super great the more you go in details, you will find out that he was not religious man.
@@qalat23 That means u didn't understand Rumi. Being religious doesn't mean hating and discriminating people of other religions. Religion is just a set of moral principlels and framework to conduct good actions and bring purity to your soul. Spirituality without religion can't exist as an independent entity. One claiming spirituality doesn't make him spiritual. They just speak in air. Their actions are still contradictory to their believes. Spirituality needs a lot of discipline, asceticism, control on desires, holding aspirations, lust. Meditation, yoga, praying, serving people and being selfless. Comparatively, Islam is more complete and advance in terms of living accordingly to spirituality. Although I belive in Hinduism, budhism, jainism, Christianity and Judaism also. I read all religions, I like all religions. All have some form of Truth and no religion is completely wrong.
@@IrfanKhan-resistance I'm amazed by your acceptance of other faith se them as set of guidelines and moral principles. The point is that you're born in Islamic country and Islamic family since your birth until now you been heard and exposed the truth of Islam and how it is complete holy book in your subconscious mind and no matter how intellectual are and become your work, analyses, thought processes would be under direct influences of your subconscious mind set. I think sufisim, darvish is another form of denial of religious and faith itself. The reason is that even today one cannot reject religion openly within families and societies, communities, why because no one wants to be killed or stoned. Here is home work for you this is Rumi from 13th century
Not Christian or Jew or
Muslim, not Hindu,
Buddhist, Sufi, or Zen.
Not any religion
or cultural system. I am
not from the east
or the west, not
out of the ocean or up
from the ground, not
natural or ethereal, not
composed of elements at all.
I do not exist,
am not an entity in this
world or the next,
did not descend from
Adam and Eve or any
origin story. My place is
the placeless, a trace
of the traceless.
Neither body or soul.
I belong to the beloved,
have seen the two
worlds as one and
that one
call to and know,
first, last, outer, inner,
only that breath breathing
human being.
Do you believe in Nobility of Souls in Hinduism? The North African Sufis did, they said basic mainstream Islam is good for the uneducated masses, but Sufism is the way for the Noble ones who God raised above others. In my opinion modern Islam tried to equalize people too much and now we just have the doctrine of the masses, I.e the lowest common denominator
@@qalat23 Actually Fitr is about the recognition of Unity of Allah and Tawheed. All the other details is fake things from things outside of Quran. Abd Al Qadir considered Hindus as Believers if they only made supplication to Brahman and not the lower deities,because the only one worthy of worship is Allah/Brahman/Al-Haqq/The Unity of multiplicities.. Her Fitr is not about accepting Islamic doctrines of some particular sect
As a Sufi Sheikh from the Tijanya Order and West African (Senegal), I've been reading Ibn Arabi's work and many other Sufis like Ghazali, Ruzbahani and Abu Yazid al- Bastami for 16 years now
And i don't really find Ibn Arabi doctrine hard to understand at all. Well at least not when you are initiated into fanā and Baqā. And He was wrong about being The Khatim-il Awliya something he later rectified himself
Hey is there any way we talk j really want to know about sufism like if you have a discoard or instagram
@@beautifulplaces5416 I know a man who can help you

Hey Ibrahim, it's time for you to leave the Tijaniya Order and to become a Salafi, because Salafists are the only sect that will be saved from the Hellfire
I'm from Murcia, where Ibn Arabi was born and lived, he is very important for us. We call him Abenarabi

this is not culture. this is history and facts.

Ha, ha, facts! Clearly you have no concept of what constitutes a fact!
But I give it to you that this is not culture.
This is merely one person's interpretation & nothing more!
You’re from Al-Andalus?
You guys all need to go look up what culture means and leave Harry alone.
@@sunwukong32 thank you:)
I am taking an introduction to Islam class at university and it is fully online. Instead of getting lectures from the professor, we just watch hours of your videos each week and answer questions about them. So you are basically my professor Lol
Which university is this? I'm interested in Islamic studies too :)
u dont learn islam from this channel
what u study in university is basic islam, tawheed, daily rituals , the pillars of faith

Dear Filip: This video was my final examination in Sufi metaphysics. I passed with flying colors. Whenever you made a point, I made it before you; whenever you gave a quote I quoted it before you did (I'm always talking back to You Tube). But as soon as I was handed my diploma, I confronted the great difference between the Brain and the Heart; I came to the point of the separation of the heads from their necks. In the middle of your video I stopped, wrote a poem, then viewed the rest of the video. Here's the poem:
THE VOICE OF GOD THE OPPRESSOR
Until you do My Will, I will oppress you.
You think you are being oppressed by the world and its disasters, but
this is not so.
You imagine standing up to the world, changing the world, to escape
from its relentless contraction and abasement,
But there is no escape in defiance-no escape from Me.
Next you imagine capitulating to the world and allowing it to destroy
you,
Because who can stand in the face of those omnipotent disasters, that
relentless sabotage and cunning?
But there is no escape in capitulation either, no escape from Me in
sacrificing yourself
To the world you think you see.
Lastly, you imagine your own self to be the oppressor, and so dream
of standing up to it and transforming it,
Of capitulating to it and being destroyed by it-
And yet there is no escape from Me in this either-who but your own
supremely oppressive self could dream such dreams?
No: Until you do My will alone, My oppression will never lift.
And what is that Will? It is obedience in contraction, obedience in
abasement, obedience in annihilation.
It is renunciation of expectation, sacrifice of all imagined outcomes,
end of the cherished illusion of the self-determined self,
Of the one chosen and instructed and empowered by God,
The one who can turn even heroic obedience into the mask of rebellion.
Not that-not any “that”- is your Lord,
But I alone.
I am there in the Blackness, in the Black Night of time-
In that chamber where the lines of your silhouette and the motion
of your hand.
Appear nowhere at all.
Is there power somewhere in that ultimate weakness?
Is there healing in that sickness?
Is there Liberation in that cell of solitary confinement?
Is there Mercy in that dark night of the soul?
Really? Is that the question you address to Me at the ultimate threshold?
Do you really expect Me to tell you the answer beforehand? To give you
a clue?
Grant you a premature glimpse into the Secret? a hint of the real answers
as they were written before creation? A glance at the Final Score?
Never. I will never do that because I am an honest Teacher and an
impartial Grader of Tests.
Until you step into that final Night you will never know.
How can Knowledge live free of the exhaustion of its endless
translators and commentators and petitioners and betrayers
Until no-one remains to claim it?
I can give you no answer to the question because you ARE the question:
The only way to ask it
Is to step beyond the Threshold.
Charles Upton vaaa!!
So you mean to get the answers you'll have to open your heart? Then your soul could connect through it?
Thank you
Well prosed are you agnostic ?
I poused the you tube and read your poem., may Alla bless you, with lots of love from india 🙏🏻
About the white light metaphor, it reminds me of Al Ghazali's work Misykat al-Anwar, his interpretation of Qs Nûr:35. In which he said - in relation to colors being the result of refraction through prism - the light of beings is non existant, or completely reliant to the primary source of light.
Take for an example the light coming from the sun, which shines upon other objects and make them glow or visible.
When it casts on a reflective object like mirror or glass, it can light up the dark and make objects in a room visible.
Such is the metaphor of existence of beings, in relation to the source.

This seems to be the game of our existence. Humanity struggles.
[Say: ‘O People of the Scripture!, Jews and Christians, come now to a word agreed upon (sawā’, is the verbal noun, meaning mustawin amruhā, ‘[a word] regarding which the matter is upright’) between us and you, and it is, that we worship none but God (allā is [made up of] an-lā, ‘that…not’) and that we do not associate anything with Him, and do not take each other for lords, beside God’, as you have taken rabbis and monks; and if they turn their backs, in rejection of God’s Oneness, say, you to them: ‘Bear witness that we have submitted’, [that we are of] those who affirm the Oneness of God.] Quran Chapter 3 verse 64
@@Idmaa honest question here. No judgement from me because I am not versed in your books. Do you believe yourself and others and Rabbi’s to be separate from God?

I do not put others as lord over me. I used to see it as a hierarchy. God, then Jesus, then Prophets etc. now I believe all is God. Including me and a sparrow and an earthworm.

@Justin Borders I think humans are always the ones who want to search the truth and reality of God and the universe , for your opinion also some islamic scholars believe some point like ibnu arabi who believe the idea of unity of being he believe that there is ultimately only one reality, which is God or the divine. things in the universe are expressions of the divine essence or attributes, and they ultimately share in the same reality ... but that is just perspective, and may be is not the right one, but you have to chas the truth always.

I’m so happy
Thank you for this most excellent presentation. It is absolutely important to clearly distinguish between a philosopher and a mystic as their respective natures are fundamentally different from one another. Whilst a philosopher's source of knowledge is intellectual speculation, a mystics source of knowledge is the transcendence of individuality/selfhood, thus in a way becoming knowledge itself. Even though a mystic may use his intellect and reason to communicate his insight to others, this does under no circumstances make him a philosopher.
Either intellectual, speculative source or mystical source there are chances of being wrong and delusional. Our ego and mystical experiences can deceive us by showing a misleading perception of reality or the way we interprete them or make different judgements. Although mystical experience are more credible and their degree of authenticity may be more perfect compare to reasoning and intellectual approach but the third way is revelation, books and verses from God and this is also a source of truth. So we also can't deny revelation though.
Wow! This is so true!
I agree with the distinction but I find "a mystic's source of knowledge is the transcendence of individuality" to be woefully vague and pretentious
@AAH Replies my problem is mostly that it's an alledged "source" of "information" and that it's presented as just as valid as shared, observable and testable experiences. Regardless of wether magic/divinehood (or something akin to it) is real, people claiming a personal experience that "transcends individuality" as proof of some arbitrary superstition are a massive red flag by default. It comes with layers impossible to unpack, and regardless of how true the claim is, is always hindered by a multitude of really frustrating human biases.
Phrasing anything "transcending individuality" as a source of information is inherently problematic and almost always pretentious (as not all mystics can be right if their claims are opposed, so at least most of them must be lying in one way or another)
@Resident Zero revelations for which of the millions of completely inconsistent experiences across the world? And then what other claims come with it? What happens when some of those claims can be empirically disproven? What happens when regardless of proof, the beliefs are enforced on vulnerable people and have measurable negative impacts on people and society? Between history, sociology, psychology and the rest of science, "I had a mystical experience" isn't worth much. It's certainly not an excuse to throw away logic. Humans are proven to be super good at being delusional. It's normal. Even arrogant shits like me have to deal with it. We should fight against make-believe specifically because we're vulnerable to it.

As a 7-year-old kid I once said: “God is everywhere and nowhere.” Glad to know I was on the right path ❤
but it's wrong
Allah created time and space, to even think that he can be within his creation and contained by it opens up many cans of worms, what's the problem with him turning himself human and becoming the child of Mary for example?
or we could say, time and space expands infinitely to ''accommodate'' Allah, which would make space and time, this whole universe, which we are part of, divine and partners of Allah, he would need us as much as we need him, which is blasphemy at the highest orders.
furthermore, where ''was'' he and when ''was'' he before the creation of space and time? space and time MUST have had a starting point, so where was god before that?
He is the almighty and magnificent, he is in the same state before the creation as he is after the creation, and he will remain in his same state forever and ever, never to be changed or altered.

He headed to Switzerland but couldn't get in as a bigamist......the Swiss relented, but I'm not sure if they allowed him to bring all his wives.
Kemal Ataturk said he "feared the people" because Islam had so brainwashed them. and at one stage, in desperation said, "I wish we could convert them all to Christianity".
Why did he say that, he was an atheist ?
Because Christianity is a veneer and easily shrugged off : Islam penetrates every aspect of life and thoroughly retards the individual making them incapable of rational thought.

I love how engaging and thorough you are, it's rare that I'm 20 mins into a video and not bored
Please explore it in future videos! Thank you so much! Love and adore these clips, and you are very well spoken and well read!
Amazingly brilliant presentation and narration! This video should be treasured. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Absolutely love your work and I'm glad I came across your channel! Ibn Arabi as other mystics have always fascinated me
Amazing, amazing, amazing. You are so talented in breaking down these ideas. Thank you 🙏
Wow, what a video and what a journey you took us through and many things became more clear as I have also heard and read about Ibn Arabi's Wahdat-ul-wujood philosophy before. Kudos to you to dive into this complex issue and even more complex to explain it to others - thanks
খুব সুন্দর।। অনেক সুন্দর। মাশা আল্লাহ।
Jazakum allahu khair for a big picture understanding of his philosophies and teachings.
Many thanks for this balanced and informative intro to the Unity of Being ❤️
For a hard materialist and non-believer, it is still pretty fascinating to see this video pops up in random recommendations with 666k views.
Thank you so much for your in depth research and hard work in making this video. I’ve become interested in Ibn Arabi and needed this absolutely enlightening explanation about his life and work. Excellent documentary!
Jazzak Allah khair for sharing your time and this history with us 💙
Your work is so beautifully and clearly articulated. Thankyou for sharing insight into this transcendent topic in such a digestible form. Deep gratitude
I am speechless to your excellent teaching abilities. But I must say this issue is not for an average person to understand.
I can't imagine how much effort you must have had to make this study, I congratulate you enormously, it is probably one of the most interesting videos I have ever seen, may God truly bless you brother🙌✨🤩🥰
As a Sikh, watching this video, it is very interesting how similar his beliefs are to Sikhi
Your channel is a knowledge gem. many thanks and I totally appreciate the objective content in this and other videos which is hard to find around.
Thank you for this. It’s like a illuminated gateway to inquiry. Sincerest gratitude.
This level of understanding wow.
And the forgotten concepts. Dusted off.
Amazing. Keep it up loved it
Like you said its hard to understand yet beautiful. I have heard lots of muslim teachers speak about iBn arabi but not this well. THEY all had narrow perceptions and hence, couldn't explain IbN Arabi well enough. Thanks to you . I am happy to know i share some similar belief to God as Ibn Arabi.
It’s said to see Muslim make such ignorant comments
@@M1fee_ They are the ignorant ones, they have no self awareness and no awareness of the devine, ignore them...
Those who know don't speak, those who speak don't know!!
This is so helpful. Truth be told, your channel is so helpful when it comes to learning about different religions in an unbiased manner. Thankyou!
This channel is quite literally a Godsend. I deeply appreciate you sharing this information, and showing everyone that at the deepest and most profound core of the thinkers that affect and change known religions, lie extremely abstract and nearly incomprehensible doctrinal insight.
Wow that was amazing never have my personal beliefs been described so well to me! Thank you!
it gave me a crack on my mind trying to understanding it help 😔
