The Spiritual Writings of Amir ʿAbd al-Kader

<p><b>A selection of writings by a great nineteenth-century Sufi Shaikh in the direct lineage of Ibn 'Arabi.</b></p><p>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.</p>
