Dunja writes: In Islam, Azrael is best known as the angel of death. The divine unveilings he received led Ibn Arabī to the conclusion that he is also a friend, healer and protector of pious Muslims. My lecture dwells deeper into the archangel's relationship with humans – with special emphasis on the spiritual seekers endowed with the heart of Azrael. Dunja Rašić is a researcher at the University of Religions and Denominations and the author of The Written World of God (Oxford: Anqa Publishing, 2021), Bedeviled (Albany: State University of New York Press, 2024) and The Nightfolk (Oakland: University of California Press, 2025). Her research interests revolve around philosophical Sufism, philosophy of language, Sufi cosmology and the school of Ibn 'Arabī.…

The title for this talk is drawn from the final mysterious book-title mentioned by Ibn 'Arabi in his listing of his own writings in the Fihrist ('Catalogue'). It would be impossible to appreciate Ibn 'Arabi's writings without encountering the notion of al-insān al-kāmil explicitly or implicitly, but how and where does Ibn 'Arabi actually use the term in his writing? What are the key features of this perfect human? In what way could it apply to each and every human being? Stephen Hirtenstein is a MIAS Senior Research Fellow and Director of Anqa Publishing. He served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi Society from 1982 to 2023. Since 2001, he has been working on the MIAS archiving project for the historic manuscripts of Ibn 'Arabi. He works as an Editor for the Encyclopaedia Islamica (Brill in association with The Institute of Ismaili Studies, London) and runs courses on Sufism and Sufi poetry at the University of Oxford. His most recent publications include a three-part article on Ibn 'Arabi’s Fihrist ('Catalogue') in the Journal, and books such as Patterns of Contemplation (2021) and Ibn 'Arabi’s Prayers for the Week (2021). He is currently revising his first book, The Unlimited Mercifier (1999). He has just been elected an Honorary Fellow of the Ibn 'Arabi Society.…

Angela writes: Overshadowed by his younger brother Moses, known primarily for his negative role in the Golden Calf saga, the Prophet Aaron’s importance may seem to some negligible, his status auxiliary, his effect doubtful. A close reading of the Shaykh al-Akbar’s various treatments of this seemingly minor prophet, however, allows us to take a second look at this paradoxical prophet and the complex nature of his leadership and cosmic significance, as themes as perplexing as transcendental and immanental worship, mercy and severity, beauty and majesty come to the fore. This presentation will examine a number of texts where Aaron’s role is singled out in a significant way. In addition to the more familiar Futūḥāt chapters (primarily: "Alchemy of Human Happiness," and "Breath") and the Fuṣūṣ al-Ḥikam’s "Chapter on the Religious Leadership in the Word of Aaron,"" we will also take a look at various other sources, including the Prayers of the Week, the Mosul Revelations, the Night Journey, and the Voyages of the Prophets. Angela Jaffray is an independent scholar specialising in the translation of and commentary on the short works of Ibn ‘Arabī. Her translation of Ibn ‘Arabī’s al-Ittiḥād al-kawnī (The Universal Tree and the Four Birds) was published by Anqa Publications in 2007, and her translation and commentary on Ibn ‘Arabī’s Isfār ‘an natā’ij al-asfār (The Secrets of Voyaging) was published by Anqa Publications in 2015, reprinted in 2016. She is currently working on a revised translation and commentary on al-Niffarī’s Mawāqif and Mukhaṭabāt.…

1 Keys to Decipher Ibn ʻArabī’s Manzil al-manāzil.
Ibn ʻArabī's unique Quranic journey in Kitāb Manzil: A mystical correlation of 114 suras with the science of numbers and symbolic ascent 54:45
Pablo writes: This presentation analyses the content of Ibn ʻArabī’s lesser-known work, Kitāb Manzil al-manāzil al-fahwāniyya (“The Mansion that Gathers [the Keys to All] the Mansions in Which Direct Speech Descends”), which is devoted to Quranic hermeneutics and structured on symbolic principles derived from the science of numbers and the abjad alphanumeric system. It explores the author's unique correlation between the 114 ‘mansions’ or ‘stations’ and the 114 suras of the Quran, classifying them into 19 major mansions based on the introductory text of each sura. Conceived as a journey of ascension (miʻrāj) through the Quran's 'citadels', this book is intimately related to chapter 22 of Ibn ʻArabī’s major work, al-Futūḥāt al-makkiyya. In this presentation, I intend to address some of the implicit, yet unexplored, questions raised in this book. I propose that Ibn ʻArabī employed strategic ambiguity in his writing, using misleading elements and deliberate omissions to avoid undue attention. Pablo Beneito is a Professor of Translation and Interpretation at the University of Murcia. He has served as an Invited Professor at institutions such as the École Pratique des Hautes Études (Sorbonne) and the University of Kyoto (ASAFAS), among others. In his study of Ibn Arabi’s thought, Pablo has extensively researched, edited, and translated several of his works and other texts related to him. His English-language publications include Contemplation of the Holy Mysteries (co-authored with Cecilia Twinch); Kashf al-ma‘nâ, The Secret of God’s Most Beautiful Names (forthcoming with Anqa Publishing), and both The Seven Days of the Heart and Patterns of Contemplation (co-authored with Stephen Hirtenstein). Since 2011, he has been coordinating the activities of MIAS-Latina. Starting in 2014, he took on the role of Editor for El Azufre Rojo: Revista de Estudios sobre Ibn Arabi published by EDITUM at the University of Murcia, and he curated the "Jayal: Creative Imagination" exhibition at Casa Árabe in Madrid and Córdoba from 2016 to 2017.…

The philosophical concepts at the heart of this presentation include Wujud, the Plural, and Ambiguity. I begin by examining Ibn Arabi's notion of belief as 'tying knots in the heart,' parallel to his understanding of the nature of Wujud and Barzakh. The aim is a fresh thinking about pluralism, grounded in Sufi metaphysics — a metaphysics focused on what Shahab Ahmed elsewhere describes as 'the multivalent experiential condition of hayra [paradoxical perplexity].' Without hastily asserting Ibn Arabi's pluralistic views of other traditions or religions, I dwell on what we today can learn from Ibn Arabi’s nuanced understanding of Being. This insight could offer us new perspectives for addressing the global rise of exclusivism and rigid, unambiguous identifications. The approach involves the philosophical application of Ibn Arabi's teachings on the essential delimitation of all doctrinal positions to current issues. Situated in the cultural and social realities of the subcontinent, I also highlight the historical application of these core Akbarian concepts in the diverse religious and spiritual expressions of subcontinental Sufis. Bharatwaj Iyer is a PhD student and a Senior Research Fellow at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay focusing on Heidegger and the phenomenological tradition. He is on the education team at MIAS, where he has served for over two years. He recently published "The Transimmanence of the Real: Ontological Pluralism in the School of Ibn ʻArabī" edited by Pablo Benito in Religions.

His academic and activist interests are political pluralism and rising extremism.…
