As stated in the introduction, two of the three texts
translated in this book focus on the contents of Islamic faith, while
the third concentrates on the details of practice--that is, the works
that Muslims should perform in order to observe the Shariah.
Three treatises explain clearly and succinctly the
teachings of Ibn al' Arabi, and the Sufi perspective on Islamic belief
and practice. The author is not unambiguously identified, but he
certainly wrote in Persia, near Konya, during the time of al' Arabi and
the other major Sufi teacher and poet, Jala al-Din Rumi
