Ibn Arabi (died 1240), known as the "Greatest Master," is considered the most influential mystic in the Islamic world. Even today, he is highly revered in Sufi circles and vehemently opposed by Islamist fundamentalists. This volume presents a selection of three works by the mystic from Spain, offering for the first time in German an insight into his life and thought. In the Meccan Revelations, Ibn Arabi was inspired in Mecca. In these works, he describes the relationship between God, humanity, and the world, the initial primordial cloud from which everything emerged, and the intermediary world of imagination. The Spirit of Holiness contains biographies of Ibn Arabi's teachers, which also include animals and inanimate objects. The author keenly observes shortcomings in the striving of himself and others in this work, which is infused with warmth and humanity.
