Series Statement:
SUNY series in Western esoteric traditions The spiritual writings of Amir °Abd al-Kader
Uniform Title:
Mawāqif.
Content:
Behind 'Abd al-Kader's role of brilliant warrior lay another, that of spiritual master in the direct lineage of Ibn 'Arabi, the Shaikh al-Akbar (the greatest shaikh). The thirty-nine texts translated here were chosen because they represent the major themes of the teaching of 'Abd al-Kader. Many are commentaries on passages from the writings of Ibn 'Arabi. They offer a rare opportunity to share the illumination of a master writing from his own direct experience. -- Back cover.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 183-228) and index.
