| Notes: | This is one of ‘Abd al-Raūf ibn ‘Alī al-Jāwī al-Fanṣūrī's Arabic works, which contains al-Fanṣūrī's teachings presented as five stages: the dogma (‘aqīdah), the law (sharī‘ah), the path (ṭarīqah), the truth (ḥaqīqah), and the gnosis (ma‘rifah). The first one exposes his interpretation of the Unicity doctrine (waḥdat al-wujūd), while the other four reflect his whole teachings regarding mysticism. The consideration regarding the Unicity doctrine exposed by the author in this text lead to the formulation of two concepts, which he comments on before combining them, that is the concept of emanation (al-fayḍ) and that of shadow (al-ẓill). According to him, the universe represents the emanation of the Unique Being (al- Ḥaq), but it differs from God himself; the relation between the two is that of an object with its shadow. In this way, the author maintains simultaneously both principles of divine immanency (tashbīh) and of transcendency (tanzīh). At the end of this text, the author shows his intellectual geneology (sanad) of Shaṭṭārīyah and Qadarīyah Ṣūfī orders. |
