Mukhtar Ali’s Philosophical Sufism is his second major contribution to ana-
lyzing the intersection between the two disciplines, written in a clear and
accessible language and deserving a wide readership. Having supervised his
dissertation some years ago, I am gratified to see that he has emerged as a
prominent scholar in this field of Islamic Studies.
-Hamid Algar, Professor Emeritus of Persian and Islamic Studies,
University of California, Berkeley
Exceptionally clear and clearly exceptional, Philosophical Sufism presents us
with an analytically rigorous and spiritually sensitive explication of the main - doctrines of the school of Ibn al-ʿArabı, which dominated spiritual and
intellectual life in the pre-modern and early modern Islamic world for well
over six hundred years. As such, this book recommends itself to not only
intellectual historians and professional philosophers, but also those who
would like to bring the riches of the Sufi metaphysical tradition to bear upon
the impoverished scene of contemporary Islamic thought.
-Mohammed Rustom, author of Inrushes of the Heart:- The Sufi Philosophy of ʿAyn al-Quḍat
Philosophical Sufism is a very welcome addition to Islamic studies. Mukhtar
Ali’s balanced presentation of the intersections of philosophy and Sufism
manages to maintain a balance that is wide-ranging, yet structured; acces-
sible, yet profound. Lucidly written, with careful treatments of the key
authors and texts of this important intellectual phenomenon, Philosophical
Sufism will be invaluable for both researchers and instructors.
- Cyrus Ali Zargar, author of The Polished Mirror: Storytelling and the Pursuit
of Virtue in Islamic Philosophy and Sufism
Philosophical Sufism offers a highly accessible account of Islamic mysticism
in the language of ratiocination. Undergraduates and adepts alike will benefit
from the overview of Sufi themes and scholarly literature. Its pedagogical
value lies in the clarity of discussion, the author’s effortless style and firm
grasp of the topics. An indispensable contribution that bridges the gap
between Islamic philosophy and mysticism.
-Harun Rasiah, Associate Professor of Ethnic Studies,
California State University
With skillful erudition, Mukhtar Ali distills the central philosophical tenets of
the school of Ibn al-ʿArabi, systematically covering ontology, epistemology,
teleology, human vicegerency, the nature of imagination, and the relation
between the macrocosm and microcosm. As one of very few introductory texts
on the subject, it will prove invaluable particularly to students.
-Atif Khalil, author of Repentance and the Return to God:
Tawba in Early Sufism
