An Introduction to Ibn ‘Arabi’s Ringstones of Wisdom

SufiCorner is honored to present an in-depth exploration of Ibn ‘Arabi’s Fuṣūṣ al-ḥikam (The Ringstones of Wisdom) with Dr. Hany T. Ibrahim, a specialist in Ibn ‘Arabi’s thought and the Sufi tradition.

This eight-part lecture series will guide participants through key themes of The Ringstones of Wisdom, engaging with classical commentaries and modern interpretations to uncover the profound insights of this seminal text. Through the wisdom of Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them), Ibn ‘Arabi offers a vision of reality shaped by the oneness of existence and the nature of the perfect human being.

Dr. Ibrahim will combine rigorous textual analysis with spiritual reflection, making this course accessible to students of all backgrounds. As Ibn ‘Arabi himself writes, the only condition for receiving this wisdom is to approach it not only with an open mind, but more importantly, with an open heart.

Topics include:
● The structure of The Ringstones of Wisdom
● Being and Perfection in the Wisdom of Adam
● Love and Purification in the Wisdom of Abraham
● Theophanies and Words in the Wisdom of Moses
● Spirit and Word in the Wisdom of Jesus
● Prophethood and Friendship in the Wisdom of Muhammad

Lectures will be held online – please click here to register for the series.

Join us as we embark on this intellectual and spiritual journey into one of the most influential works of Sufi metaphysics.
