        Sheikh Mohebullah Mobarez, Pir Al-Ahabadi, is one of the Indian mystics of the 11th century AH, who has been greatly influenced by mysticism and the theory of the unity of existence of Ibn Arabi, the great mystic of the sixth century AH. He has written detailed and comprehensive explanations of Ibn Arabi's book "Fusus al-Hikam" in Persian and Arabic. The description of his Persian Fusus al-Hikam is a valuable book in which a great effort has been made to solve the ambiguities and difficulties of Fusus al-Hikam. This book, which is a Manuscript, has not been scientifically adapted and corrected before and not printed. One of the characteristics of this work is usage of some abandoned compounds and words in the period of growth and promotion of Persian language in the subcontinent. In this research, while introducing Alahabadi and his works, the abandoned words and phrases used in this book have been considered in terms of roots and grammatical rules, and their importance has been explained by mentioning the instances.

        2 - The Brilliant Jewel of Islam in Seville: A Historical Analysis of Ibn Arabi’s Fusus al-Hikam

        Ibn Arabi is one of the prominent figures in the field of theoretical gnosis in the world of Islam. He enjoys a unique status among Muslim gnostic-writers thanks to his benefitting from the legacy of distinguished Muslim and, particularly, Iranian gnostics, on the one hand, and the philosophical legacy of Muslim thinkers of the West, especially, of Seville, on the other hand. The cultural center of Andalusia, which was the philosophical meeting point of Islamic gnosis with Christian gnosis and, especially, Jewish gnosis for centuries, clearly reflects Ibn Arabi’s influence over these gnostic schools and indicates the necessity of making a continuous effort at gaining a thorough knowledge of the different aspects of his thoughts and works. From among all his works, Fusus al-hikam seems to be the best criterion for learning about Ibn Arabi because this great book provides a trustworthy account of the history of Islamic gnosis and Andalusia. Several commentators have commented on Fusus al-hikam, but not all of them have praised the writer, and some of them have even criticized his ideas in their commentaries. Nevertheless, all of them have praised the magnificence of his thoughts in this work. The present paper casts an analytic glance at Ibn Arabi’s character and examines this book based on the ideas of its writer and commentators in terms of form and content. It is hoped that the findings of this study can pave the way for more comparative research in the interreligious atmosphere of Andalusia and contribute to a better understanding of this distinguished figure of the Andalusia school as the crossroad of cultures.
