Book 2 - The Openings Revealed in Makkah, Taschenbuch Series
Chapter 2 continues from the letters to the vowels to the word and the phrases. In Chapter 8, we hear wondrous stories of the Vast Earth, which was made from the tiny portion of clay left over from the creation of the date-palm, which in turn was made from the tiny portion of clay left over from the creation of AdamEve. In this Vast Earth, this Kaʿbah is one of fourteen Houses, and in each one of the seven Earths, ‘there is a creation like us, up to there being in them an Ibn ʿAbbās just like me’.
The second of thirty-seven books of Ibn al-ʿArabī’s magnum opus al-Futūḥāt al-Makkīyah, translated and conveyed by Shuʿayb Dr Eric Winkel.
