The Fusion of Shiʿism and Sufism in the Thought of Sayyid Ḥaydar Āmulī
This article investigates the influence of Andalusī Sufism in the writings of Persian Sufi scholar Sayyid Ḥaydar Āmulī. It explores Āmulī’s major enterprise to unify Shiʿism and Sufism, which drew upon the conceptual frameworks articulated in Ibn al-ʿArabī’s teachings on the Perfect Human. Āmulī’s Shiʿi-Sufi synthesis is rooted in the concept of wilāya , the unifying element in the Shiʿi doctrine of the Imamate and Ibn al-ʿArabī’s theory of the P…
Repentance and the Return to God
Philosophical Sufism
Analyzing the intersection between Sufism and philosophy, this volume is a sweeping examination of the mystical philosophy of Muḥyī-l-Dīn Ibn al-ʿArabī (d. 637/1240), one of the most influential and original thinkers of the Islamic world.

His work, firstly, highlights the interaction between Sufism, philosophy and theology by juxtaposing Ibn al-…
The “Doctrine of Love” in ʿAbd Allāh al-Anṣārī’s Manāzil al-sāʾirīn with Critical Paraphrase of ʿAbd al-Razzāq Kāshānī’s Commentary
This article represents a preliminary inquiry into a little known and understudied commentarial tradition upon ʿAbd Allāh al-Anṣārī’s classic work on the stations of Sufism, the Manāzil al-sāʾirīn (Stations of the Wayfarers). After briefly taking stock of the considerably late commentarial tradition which this important text engendered, we will take as our case study one of the Manāzil ’s key topics, namely its sixty-first chapter on the station …
