The Great Diwan of Ibn al-Arabi al-Hatimi

Published by Dar Al-Adab, The Great Divan of Ibn 'Arabi: Sultaniyyat / Zaynabiyyat (Volume 1) (Al-Diwan Al-Kabir) is a landmark scholarly project edited by Dr. Abdelilah Ben Arafa. Regarded as one of the most comprehensive compilations of Sufi poetry in Islamic literature, this volume recovers long-lost and rare poetic texts directly transcribed from original primary manuscripts. Focusing on the "Sultaniyyat" (poems on spiritual sovereignty and divine governance) and "Zaynabiyyat" (allegorical and romantic-spiritual odes), the work cleanses previous historical corruptions and misattributions. Ben Arafa provides meticulous cross-references with Ibn 'Arabi's magnum opus Al-Futuhat Al-Makkiyya, offering readers and scholars an authentic portal into Sufi metaphysics, divine wisdom, and poetic symbolism.

It offers an authentic, highly reliable critical edition of Ibn 'Arabi's spiritual poetry, providing unmatched insight into classical Sufi mysticism, metaphysics, and allegorical symbolism.

Ideal for scholars of Islamic studies, Sufi philosophy enthusiasts, academic researchers of Arabic classical poetry, and readers seeking critical editions of mystical heritage.
