Inspiring insight into the spiritual depth of Islam is presented in this English translation of Muhyiddin Ibn `Arabi’s Mishkat al-Anwar, one of the most influential early collections of hadith qudsi, the sayings of God as transmitted by Muhammad. The meaning of hadith, hadith qudsi, and the importance of the terms in the text are explained in a comprehensive introduction. A bibliography, indexes on the individual hadith, the names of the important transmitters, and two appendices on the manuscript sources and chains of transmission provide unfamiliar readers with resources to fully appreciate the work. An Arabic version of the Mishkat al-Anwar, distilled from the oldest surviving manuscripts and presented in a handsome calligraphic style, is also included.
