This book aims to explore the theory of love in the writings of the Great Andalusian Sufi Sheikh, Mu?y? al-D?n Ibn 'Arab? (558-638/1165-1240). It begins by examining Divine and human love as found in the works of many Sufi masters that preceded Ibn 'Arab?, and then turns to the views of Ibn 'Arab? himself. The Sufis from the early centuries of Islam (9th-10th) sometimes defined love as their "religion," by which they meant, their way to God. Ibn 'Arab? not only expanded on these earlier Sufi theories, but also detailed his own original insights. He openly declared the primacy of love over all else and argued that love is the dynamic force behind creation. The present study is focused primarily on outlining the importance of Divine love in Ibn 'Arab?'s thought, which is accomplished through an in-depth reading and a close textual analysis of selected works on Divine love in several of his key works including: The Interpreter of Longings (Turjum?n al-Ashw?q), The Ringstones of Wisdom (Fu??? al-?ikam), and The Meccan Openings (al-Fut???t al-Makkiyya). The approach taken in Love in the Teachings of Ibn 'Arab? demonstrates the centrality of love in Ibn 'Arab?'s worldview. Additionally, the monograph offers certain interpretive keys to help unlock the meanings embedded in the imagery and symbolism of Ibn 'Arab?'s unique language.
