This is the first systematic overview of the science of letters (ilm al-huruf) according to the great Andalusian spiritual master, scholar, poet and philosopher Ibn Arabi (d. 1240). Ibn Arabi defined the science of letters as familiarity with the building-blocks of the Quranic revelation and everything in the world of Nature. Letters are understood as visual and aural signs of pointing to the mysteries of existence. The present study examines how the universe came to be, for what purpose it as created and the hierarchical structure it is endowed with. It is an old story told anew -- through the 28 letters of the Arabic alphabet, their orthographic forms and the meanings attributed to them, utilising Ibn Arabis own diagrams. Although the story could be told through geometrical figures or numbers, letters were chosen on the basis of Ibn Arabis doctrine that the meanings carried by the letters fully encompasses the whole of existence: God and the universe.

The Written World of God is the first and only systematic overview of the science of letters (ʿilm al-hurūf) according to the great Andalusian spiritual master, scholar, poet and philosopher Ibn ʿArabī (d. 1240). Ibn ʿArabī defined the science of letters as familiarity with the building-blocks of the Qur’anic revelation and everything in the world of Nature. Letters are understood as visual and aural signs pointing to the mysteries of existence.
The present study examines how the universe came to be, for what purpose it was created and the hierarchical structure it is endowed with. It is an old story told anew - through the 28 letters of the Arabic alphabet, their orthographic forms and the meanings attributed to them, utilising Ibn ʿArabī’s own diagrams. Although the story could be told through geometrical figures or numbers, letters were chosen on the basis of Ibn ʿArabī’s doctrine that the meanings carried by the letters fully encompasses the whole of existence: God and the universe.
This book will appeal to anyone interested in Sufism and the sacred language of Arabic as well as those familiar with the work of ’the greatest master’ Ibn ʿArabī.
