About The Book

This is the Third Edition of Volume 1 in hardback which contains Books 1 & 2 of The Openings Revealed in Makkah and the project is anticipated to be completed in nineteen volumes.

Here is the Book Introduction to Volume 1 of The Openings Revealed in Makkah (al-Futūḥāt al-Makkīyah) with Shuʿayb Dr Eric Winkel:

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 .
