Issue 4 centers on the Sufi vision of God and the metaphysics of Oneness of Being, with Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh presenting divine unity as a lived reality.
Essays by William C. Chittick, Leonard Lewisohn, Muhammad Isa Waley, and H. M. Bukhari Lubis explore Ibn al-‘Arabi, Najm al-Din Razi, and the relationship between Sufism and poetry.
Stories retell classic teachings and parables of humility, while poems by Annemarie Schimmel, Javad Nurbakhsh, and others evoke longing and remembrance.
