The Openings Revealed in Makkah, Volume 4 (Books 7 & 8) - al-Futūḥāt al-Makkīyah
Volume 4 is a hardback edition by Pir Press and contains Books 7 and 8 of The Openings Revealed in Makkah. The project is anticipated to be completed in nineteen volumes.
Volume 4 includes Books 7 & 8, with the mysteries of the pillar of prayer, and the mysteries of the pillar of charity. The mysteries of the prayer include the Friday prayer, the funeral prayer, and the fifteen prostrations performed when reciting particular verses in the Qurʾān. The mysteries of charity (zakāt) include the minimum amount of wealth above which zakāt is assessed – and leads to an exploration of the nature of time and space: is time discrete or continuous; and is space discrete, quantum, or continuous and infinitely divisible. From the postulation of Zeno’s paradox until today, this is the fundamental question about physical reality.

The Greatest Teacher, al-Shaykh al-Akbar, Ibn al-Arabi dictated to his close friends this work of over 10,000 manuscript pages depicting the extraordinary vision of the Youth he encountered while circling the Kabah in Makkah.
Despite its clear provenance as a completely accurate work, from the hand and mind of its transcriber, and its reputation through the centuries as the most significant and profound reflection of Islamic thought, al-Futūḥāt al-Makkīyah has never been translated from the original classical Arabic in its entirety. From 2012, Dr. Winkel has been working exclusively on translating this work in order to produce the first complete translation into English of al-Futūḥāt al-Makkīyah.
