Slide Background

This course looks at the theme of Sulūk (spiritual wayfaring) through thematically analysing Ibn ʿAjībah’s (d. 1224/1809) commentary on The Book of Aphorisms (Kitāb al-Ḥikam) of IbnʿAṭāʾAllāh (d. 709/1309), entitled Īqāẓ al-Himam fī Sharḥ al-Ḥikam (The Awakening of Spiritual Aspirations in the Commentary of the Ḥikam). The Hikam contains all the essential insight required for spiritual wayfaring (sulūk) on the Sufi path, its appeal lies precisely in its ability to speak to the essential problems that plague the human condition in spiritual journeying. In this course four major themes of the commentary will be shared: understanding the nature of the spiritual path from its goals (teleology), forms of knowledge (epistemology), origins (ontology) and culmination (soteriology).

📑 Course Format & Highlights:

- 10 Weekly Classes (Live & Recorded)
- Explore Īqãz through the lens of spiritual teleology, epistemology, ontology and more
- Guided reflections and discussions
- Access to WhatsApp Group to share Feedback and Questions

🗓️ Starting Date: Sun. June 22nd, 2025
