Ma'arif o Malfuzat Ibn al-Arabi | معارف و ملفوظات ابن العربی از اسماعیل ابن سودکین | 2022

The book "Malfuzat Ibn al-Arabi" is being presented today in its first Urdu translation, which is a collection of responses given by Sheikh Akbar to various questions posed by his close companions during their sessions. The author, Isma'il ibn Sawdkain Al-Nuri, was a servant and follower of Sheikh Akbar and has written commentaries on many of the Sheikh's works, providing unique information as a close friend of the Sheikh. Through this book, readers will get an inside look at the assemblies of Ibn Arabi and gain an understanding of the discussions and topics covered during those times. The book also offers glimpses into Sheikh Akbar's life, particularly during his time in Mecca, which have not been previously documented in other works.

The book has been translated into an easy and understandable form so that everyone can comprehend it. Special attention has been given to the annotation of the book so that most of the references include additional information which makes it easier to understand. The aim is for the readers to understand at least something from the book. I pray to Allah that every common and special person benefits from this book and receives their share of knowledge in the afterlife. Amen.
