"By clarifying the inherent aesthetic values of the Islamic mystical tradition, Zargar has done much to put the discussion of beauty and the unique perceptive experience of gnostics centre stage. This is a useful, scholarly and clearly written book, bringing together many disparate texts... in a fresh translation, and it will certainly appeal to anyone interested in Ibn 'Arabi's teachings. -- ""Ibn 'Arabi Society Journal"""
