Sufi Quotes

As regards the relation between human soul and the Divine Soul. Ibn Arabi maintains that, on account of lack of Divine knowledge, we believe that our individual soul is a part of the Divine soul. When we gain Divine knowledge, the truth will be revealed in our heart and we will realise that our soul is nothing but the Divine soul in its original form.

Sufi Quotes

Divine knowledge leads to the realisation of ‘Fanaa'. For Ibn Arabi ‘fana' is only a process of the recognition of inmost self or the awareness of the ‘Oneness’ with God. It frees man from the bondage of ignorance.
