Seven Days of the Heart: Prayers for the Nights & Days of the Week

Autor Stephen Hirtenstein, Pablo Beneito
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2016
Ibn 'Arab (1165-1240) has long been known as a great spiritual master. His many works of prose and poetry are beginning to be more accessible in translation in Western languages. They possess the remarkable quality of being able to speak to people of all walks of life and belief, across the apparent barrier of many centuries and differing cultures. Despite this growing interest, the prayers which are attributed to him remain little-known. They provide a most precious glimpse into the real practice of the mystical life within the Sufi tradition. This is the first time that any of Ibn 'Arab's prayers have been published in another language. This particular collection is one of the most beautiful, having been revered in the Islamic world for centuries. There are fourteen prayers, one for each day and night of the week. They include not only the most astounding expressions of contemplation and devotion to God, but also an unparalleled depth of knowledge of Union (tawhd). As the translators show in their introduction, the very structure of the prayers is a mode of contemplation, since for Ibn 'Arab the weekly cycle itself is sacred. These prayers are presented with notes and appendices.
