In this critical study, Alaa Jaafar provides a comprehensive analysis of the scholarly reception of the great Sufi master, Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi. The book meticulously examines and contrasts the diverse interpretations presented by two distinct academic traditions: Western Orientalists and modern Arab researchers. Jaafar delves into their respective methodologies, historical contexts, and ideological underpinnings, revealing how each group has approached Ibn Arabi's complex doctrines, such as the Unity of Being (Wahdat al-Wujud). This work offers a crucial perspective on the intellectual history surrounding one of Islam's most influential figures.
