The foundation is a home to carry out Ibn al-ʿArabī’s legacy. We rely on the community’s continuous support and thank our team of volunteers for donating their services and expertise.
“These interactions, the continued support of the lineage, the dervishes and the editor, and my complete attention to this work will produce, God willing, the total of 37 paperbacks, and 19 volumes in hardback of The Openings Revealed in Makkah and many different ways to convey this inheritance to those with ears to hear. A guide told me that this work is not for now; it is for future generations. It is our time. And indeed, this is a sacred inheritance we are mercifully gifted to receive and pass onward.”
— Shuʿayb Dr Eric Winkel

What People Are Saying
“It cannot be denied that the ocean of wisdom which is Ibn ʿArabi must have flowed, one way or another, no matter how, to all parts of the Muslim world. But in Indonesia, the real thought of Ibn ʿArabi is almost unknown even though his name is relatively widespread among Islamic scholars. The translation of Ibn ‘Arabi's magnum opus, al-Futuhat al-Makkiyah, into English which was done by Dr. Eric Winkel will indeed be an opening to the treasures of Ibn ʿArabi's vision.”
— Professor Asiah, IAIN Medan, Indonesia
“With Dr. Shu’ayb’s translation of the Futuhat, by the gift of the Merciful, no longer is there exclusive knowledge of this great work, which is a gift to all of humanity.”
— Murshid F. A. Ali ElSenossi, Almiraj Sufi and Islamic Study Centre, Australia
“The offering of the publication of the Futūḥāt al Makkīyah came upon our doorstep through the brilliant, humble person of Dr. Shuʿayb Eric Winkel. When we met him he had already dedicated many years of his life to translating the entirety of the Futūḥāt. Dr. Winkel has been a long-time seeker of Truth imbued with diverse religions and cultures. The conjunction of Pir Press with the Ṭarīqah opened the door for the project of translating and publishing the Futūḥāt. We are so grateful to Dr. Winkel.”
“May we drink from the wells of the Master of the heart, Ibn al-ʿArabī, and be spiritually revived.”
— Fariha Fatima Friedrich, Shaykh of the Nur Ashki Jerrahi Sufi Order
“We ask God Almighty to bestow benefit from this wonderful book of Ibn al-Arabi and the translation of Shaykh Shuʿayb to all readers so as to be spread sound ideas and Islamic education, and to record a reward for everyone who contributed to this work.”
— Shaykh al-Bukhari, Malappuram, India
