Description
A Sufi Commentary on the Qur'an is a complete and comprehensive commentary on the holy text by 'Abd al-Razzaq al-Kashani. This seminal work, long considered to be written by Muhyi al-Din Ibn 'Arabi, offers a unique perspective on the Qur'an's meaning and significance. The central theme of Kashani's commentary is gnosis, or direct experiential knowledge of God, which he believes can be achieved through dedicated spiritual exertion in conformity with the Sacred Law. The commentary spans the entire Qur'an, covering every chapter but not every verse, providing a rich and detailed exploration of Islamic theology and spirituality. This first English translation of Kashani's work offers readers a unique opportunity to engage with the ideas and thoughts of one of the most influential Sufi thinkers in history.
