THE ATLAS OF THE POLISHED MIRROR
Al-Futūḥāt al-Makkiyya · The Meccan Revelations
the Futūḥāt
nature
Five hundred and sixty chapters, begun after a vision during circumambulation at the Kaaba: cosmology, letters, Names, the stations of the path, and the imaginal world in which visions are neither merely subjective nor simply physical.
The largest single body of speculative mysticism produced in Islam, and the closest thing on this bench to the Zohar in ambition, in bulk, and in the way later readers mine it for systems it never quite states.
rhymes with
sephirahbinah
whyA structure vast enough to be a world of its own.
