About this title

Synopsis

English and Arabic texts back-to-back.

Al-Furqān Islamic Heritage Foundation 5th public lecture, 11 November 1996, the Royal Victoria and Albert Museum. This book focuses on the Sūfi aspects in the poetry of the Muslim philosopher and poet Muĥammad Iqbāl. Annemarie Schimmel discusses Iqbāl’s writings on the secrets of divine love, that is to say on the foundations of Sufism, a route to spiritual clarity and the pinnacle of spiritual development. Divine love in the eyes of Iqbāl is a rare experience, a momentous elevation in the journey of life and the highest manifestation of virtue.
