Ibn Arabi: “Universals” (umur kulliyya) | Fusus al-Hikam, Chapter 1 | Metaphysics of Existence

🎙 Rasoul RAHBARI GHAZANI 🔹 Music: @amirmohamdmonjezi Unveiling one of the most profound and subtle teachings in Sufi Metaphysics—this episode of Fuṣūṣ al-Ḥikam dives into Ibn ʿArabī’s conception of “universal realities” (umūr kulliyya)—shortly translated as “universals.” This metaphysical topic bridges the divine Essence (dhāt) and cosmos, revealing the structure of existence itself. Here, I explore the critical distinction between “fixed entities” (aʿyān al-thābita) and “universal realities” in Ibn ʿArabī’s metaphysics and how they underpin Ibn ʿArabi’s vision of reality. These insights challenge conventional theology and open pathways to inner transformation and spiritual awakening. This topic offers timeless wisdom for those on a journey of spiritual growth, personal development, and esoteric understanding of Islam in a modern world fragmented by duality. ⭐This video is part of an exclusive, deep-dive series on Fusus al-Hikam—designed for seekers of Sufi teachings and scholarly reflection on metaphysics.
