Faris Abdel-Hadi: Ijtihad and Nearness in the Kitab Maqam al-Qurba

FARIS ABDEL-HADI is an independent researcher, writer and publisher. With a background in commercial law, Abdel-hadi delivers lectures,seminars and workshops around the world on the subject of Sufism, Islamic philosophy, and intellectual history. His latest book, Ibn 'Arabi's Religious Pluralism: Degrees of Diversity, marks a significant contribution to the debate concerning Ibn 'Arabi’s views on religion, focusing on his multifaceted approach to non-Abrahamic traditions. Ibn 'Arabi's notion of struggling and striving on the spiritual path, modelled after the established juristic notion of intellectual independent reasoning, or ijtihad, has been given rather short shrift apart from the few scant studies that currently exist. This is all the more surprising when one considers the value the Shaykh al-Akbar attaches to this concept, and the way he uses it to uniquely portray other religions, particularly non-monotheistic ones. It is in light of the existing lacunae that this presentation purports to present Ibn 'Arabi shorter epistle, the K. Maqam al-Qurba, in connection with other passages from his writings including the Futuhat, in order to expand our understanding of this quasi-ecumenical framework for reconciling the diversity of views and beliefs that exist. <p><a href="https://ibnarabisociety.org/podcasts-and-videos/" target="_blank">- Enlace a artículo -</a></p> <p>Más info en https://ift.tt/tYqVr4d / Tfno. & WA 607725547 Centro MENADEL (Frasco Martín) Psicología Clínica y Tradicional en Mijas. #Menadel #Psicología #Clínica #Tradicional #MijasPueblo</p> <p>*No suscribimos necesariamente las opiniones o artículos aquí compartidos.
