Although this might not seem like the most important topic, I wanted to write a blog post about it because everyone should read, know and understand Tajul Hikmat Urdu meaning "the perfection of wisdom" by Ibn Arabi. It is an Arabic philosophical text that was translated into English by Charles J. Adams in 1937. This book has been translated into many languages over the years including Persian and Turkish translations, making it one of the most popular Islamic philosophical texts in history. Ibn Arabi is considered a major figure in medieval Islamic thought and his work influenced various Sufi orders throughout different regions of Islam as well as European philosophers including Spinoza and Hegel who were devoted readers of his work during their lives. He also influenced many of the most influential theologians and philosophers of medieval Europe such as Maimonides, Avicenna, and Averroes. His influence has been said to be so strong that he is one of the most significant persons in history for which reason his writing has been preserved and interpreted by numerous Muslim scholars and philosophers throughout history including Mawlana Rumi, Rhazes, Ibn Sina (Avicenna), Averroes (Ibn Rushd), Al-Ghazali (Algazel) and Ibn Khaldun. Ibn Hazm (Al-Andalusi) was a Spanish physician who himself greatly admired Ibn Arabi's works. Tajul Hikmat Urdu meaning the "Perfection of Wisdom" describes the inner journey of an individual, hidden within himself, who seeks to reach perfection (al-hikmat). The title "Tajul" is derived from the Arabic word "taj", which means "perfection". Tajul Hikmat Urdu describes the inner journey of a seeker from this state to enlightenment. The book has been translated into many languages including English and Persian. There have been four translations so far, in 1941 by J.M. Rodwell, in 1965 by Zakaria-i-Awwal Khan and later in 1970 by George Fadlussadeh. The fourth and the most recent translation was made by Dr. Javad Nurbaghi and presented to Arabic readers in 1980. This book is divided into four sections: As the title implies, this first section focuses on describing all of the different concentrations (states of mind) as well as diseases (hidden states of minds) that an individual might encounter on his journey toward enlightenment. It also provides a detailed description of how one attains true understanding and knowledge on his journey toward perfection. The four major stages which Ibn Arabi describes include: This first section is not only a very informative and interesting read but it is also a guide for those who seek to reach that state along their journey toward enlightenment. The book describes each of the different stages of this journey which after all, is not an easy one. The second section talks about the way to perform good deeds (for the sake of Allah). This section also talks about motivations for this act. Ibn Arabi states that everything non-related to Allah is either for our benefit or harmful to us. When it comes to deeds towards Allah, Ibn Arabi states that we should do our best and perform all good things without desire for recompense (reward). He also emphasizes that we should not be negligent in performing these deeds nor should we think that they are done only for self-benefit. cfa1e77820
