Abstract

As the second master of philosophy of Illumination, Muhammad Ibn Mahmud Shams al-Din al-Shahrazuri is believed loyal to Suhrawardi. As a case study on celestial bodies, the allegiance may well be at question level. In this research, we are charitably regarding another prominent mystic figure, i.e. Ibn Arabi, as Shahrazuri’s descendant. A near contemporary of Shahab al-Din Yahya Suhrawardi, the founder of the philosophical School of Illumination in the Islamic East, Ibn Arabi are placed in the same spiritual family.
