This work begins with the discourses of the Qur’?n andProphetic Tradition, on Islam and other religious traditions. It then presentsa historical survey of Muslim works in the field of comparative study ofreligions, written by some philosophers, theologians and ??f?s. The work alsodeals sufficiently with the personal background of Ibn al-'Arab?, arguably thegreatest representative of the ??f?s. There are also specific chapters on thisvisionary metaphysician’s general conception of religion; and, hisinterpretation of Qur’?nic terminologies such as isl?m, d?n, fi?rah, m?th?q,?m?n, kufr, shar?'ah, minh?j, nubuwwah, ris?lah, millah, and ummah. A highlycontroversial issue of Ibn al-'Arab?’s view on the diversity of religions; hisunderstanding of the Qur’?nic views of naskh and ta?r?f; and, his remarks aboutthe non-Muslims’ paramount doctrines, especially regarding those of the Ahlal-Kit?b, are also considerably discussed.
