The
book presents the authenticated interpretation of al-Jīliy
(‘Abdul-Karīm al-Jīliy, d. 826 H.) of the Chapter of
Secrets from al-Futūhāt
al-Makkiyya-
‘Meccan Revelations’ by the Grand Shaikh Muhiy al-Dīn
bin-‘Arabiy (d. 638 H.). This chapter (numbered 559) is considered
one of the exquisite Sufi rhetorical masterpieces as it epitomizes the
culmination of mystic expression that is second to none. al-Jīliy
limits his interpretation to the first ten sections of the chapter, as
he presumably considers them adequate to highlight the spirit and
thoughts of Ibn ‘Arabiy.
