There, Ibn Arabi first came face to face with advanced and morally ambiguous spiritual practitioners known as the Nightfolk.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn The Nightfolk, Duja Raśić offers a pioneering historical and conceptual analysis of the once-widespread beliefs about the night and its people in Muslim cultures and societies. Drawing on a wealth of primary source materials, Raśić traces these beliefs from their origins in the seventh century to their most prominent form in the thirteenth-century works of Ibn Arabi. Re-examining common notions of spiritual authority, ascension, self-isolation, moral choice, and transgression in Muslim cultures and societies, The Nightfolk is a crucial read for those interested in philosophical Sufism and Ibn Arabi's attempts to bridge the gap between the visible world and the realms of the unseen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43870478762019,"sku":"9780520422612","price":158.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2514\/8624\/files\/DSC_1188_f2664c00-341c-48dc-8f79-dedec29b6805.jpg?v=1788871339","url":"https:\/\/wardahbooks.com\/products\/the-nightfolk-ibn-arabi-behind-the-veil-of-night","provider":"Wardah Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
