I am in love with no other than myself,
and my very separation is my union ...
I am my beloved and my lover;
I am my knight and my maiden.

When my Beloved appears,
With what eye do I see Him?
With His eye, not with mine,
For none sees Him except Himself.
Ibn al-Arabi Foundation was founded on 17th of Ramadan, 1428/2007, on the birthday of Shaykh al-Akbar Muhyiddin Muhammad Ibn al-'Arabi under the spiritual guidance of Sheikh Rafaqat Hussain Shah.
An important function of the Foundation is to facilitate translations of Ibn al-‘Arabi’s works from the original Arabic into contemporary understandable Urdu. Till now we have translated more than 25 Books and Rasā’il and published four books. The remaining translations are in the process of publication

Chapter eight of the Futûhât is dedicated to the ard al-haqîqa, the 'World of Reality' that was created with what remained of Adam's clay. It belongs, says Ibn 'Arabi, to the 'âlam al-khayâl, the Imaginal World, and it is part of the barzakh, the 'isthmus' that joins all the orders of reality. This selection is from that chapter.
