Was Ibn Arabi right in Fusus al-Hikam? Do women most perfectly reflect God? I now understand clearly Muhammad’s love for women. Do other books speak about this?

>For this reason, the Prophet loved women, because of the perfect witness of God in them, for the Real is never witnessed without materials, because in His Essence, He does not need the creatures. If witness of God’s Essence is impossible, and witness of Him occurs only through material, then the witness of the Real in women is the greatest and the most perfect witness. The strongest union is sexual intercourse, which resembles God’s turning to the one whom He created in His image in order to make him his vicegerent, so that He might see Himself in him.

In Shia hadiths, there are entire chapters from the imams and the prophet about liking women and the detestability of not liking them.

There is a famous story of one of the greatest companions of the prophet (I think Uthman ibn Madh'un, who Imam Ali named his son after) who would spend all night praying to God instead of touching his wife. His wife went to the prophet complaining, and the prophet reprimanded the companion and told him if he truly wants to follow his Sunnah (the way of the prophet) he should satisfy his women.

Also in Shia hadiths a man with no healthy jealousy towards his wife (a cuck) will never smell paradise lol.

They don't believe Muhammad married Aisha when she was a kid, and even say the supposed story of her marriage according to Sunnis is an unislamic marriage. And instead believe it was lies attributed to the prophet by the early governments who wanted to build up Aisha and attack the family of the prophet (Ahl Al-Bayt).

NO, he was a simp. Sexual pleasures is a distraction from the presence of God. It's true that you can try to engage in sex in a spiritual manner but this is inferior to pure insight/contemplation as anything that directs one's attention to outwards objects is directing attention away from God, to say sex is the highest form of unity is a perversion or misunderstanding of spirituality.

Look into Joshua Little's critical analysis of the Aisha age narrative and more broadly the reliability of hadiths, especially those regarding her marital age.
Long story short: she was probably older, like mid teens which is normal. As odd as it sounds, the claims that she was 9 was probably Sunni propoganda.

But even if you don't buy any of that and stick with her truly being 9 when the marriage was consummated, the fact remains that she had an entire lifetime of being a prolific figure in the community, is the source of countless hadiths and information about the Prophet. If she felt wronged by the affair or like he was unkind to her in any way, that would shine through in her narrations SOMEWHERE. tl;dr: if she was raped, she liked it

if a woman cheats on her husband she gets stoned to death, a man does the same he gets away with a beating and exile. a man can marry multiple women when a woman can't. witness of two women is considered to be equal to the testimony of one man. men are promised women, practically sex slaves in heaven. as for women no such prize is mentioned.

also: "As for women of whom you fear rebellion, convince them, and leave them apart in beds, and beat them. Then, if they obey you, do not seek a way against them. Surely, Allah is the Highest, the Greatest." you are allowed to beat them.

there is a lot of rhetoric that goes around to justify all the bullshit, like the translations differ and it doesn't say 'beat' in the ayah etc., it's usual method of religious people to misrepresent their desert religion but that is not the truth. just look at any islamic country and how they treat women there. does it look like they are enjoying their time under sharia?

I support women because feminism is the only good thing happening from 200 years of democracy.
Feminism is good because it destroy the grotesque male narrative that men are the stronger sex. The truth is that women sit at the top of the sex market. Women are sex capitalists. It's women who organize the competition . It's men who compete for women and not women who compete for men. So they are right to be very strict about the rules. And since they are the queens, and 99% of men just live to provide for them, they have the luxury of rebuking any male quest they want and imposing on men various duties.
The even bigger picture is that Men never really managed to tame the female sexual cravings. Women cannot be contained in coats of conventions, the female sexual libido is too strong and too violent for this. A women is pure sexual energy. When she discovers this, when she peels off the phony social layers, she merges with her true whorish self and she will never ever be the same.
This is why all societies are flawed inherently. And it doesn't help that all men are eager to please women sexually and non-sexually. democracy is even worse.

Its a common theme in Islamic literature. e.g. Ibn Arabi compares the experience of self-annihilation/enlightenment (fana) to orgasming inside a woman. In Ghazzali's books and again in poetry God is often depicted as a woman or understood through analogies to a female beloved as well as a male bishounen type.

A common Sufi practice before modern times was gazing at beautiful women or beautiful male youths as a means of contemplating the divine (dhikr) through which people could experience God.

I have also thought something similar, that women, not the physical one that we(or atleast I) daily interact with, but the "concept" of a woman is something that is "pure" and "good". I'd like to delve further into this and get some better reason for my beliefs than "I just feel like it haha" but I'm afraid It'll take me a few years to get there. Interestingly enough my interest in and positive opinion of the concept of women has only emerged after spending a few years without masturbation, porn nor sexual relation. It is good to be able to see women from a perspective that is completely devoid of lust.
Do (You) perhaps have any recommended literature that follows along the lines of what I've been thinking? I'd like to read more on the subject, infact even if it differs from my opinion, but I don't know how to search for such a book.

No, how can the passive reflect the active? Women reflect the universe and men reflect God's creative activity. True, humans cannot exist without women in the same way that art cannot exist with an underlying material substrate, but the beauty in Mona Lisa is not in the paint used by da Vinci, the magnanimity in Rumi's Masnavi is not in the letters used or in the paper that it is written on, the reason those things are great is because of the type and presence of the active agent in manipulating the underlying passive material substrate.

These takes are just puffed up arrogence. Women are more social, yes. But both men and women are agents and intersubjective beings that form and are formed by society and others. If you want a bro-tier example, how many of your male friends completely change in chracter and behaviour once they settle down with a woman? How many men completely change once they have kids and become fathers? Are they mere passive lunar fields of their sun-like wives and children, moulded by the active and radiant female and child agents? They are in part, we all are formed in our intersubjective relations, but we also form ourselves and others by our own agency in those relations, and as we relate to ourselves, and so do women. To say otherwise is hubris and dumb pride.

Reading things like this makes it very difficult to say that all Muslims go to hell as a Christian. I’ve noticed from reading the Sufis, whether Rabia, al-Ghazali or Bistami, or Junayd, etc that they say many of the same things that Christian mystics and spiritual writers do, up to the highest levels of love and devotion for God, to the point where it is almost absurd for me to deny that they love God and know God.

I do see your point and agree that the reductive sun-moon distinctions doesn't show the whole picture and that interpersonal dynamics are more complicated.
But the example you gave would be consistent with the masculine-feminine dynamics posited; if a man were to "settle down" with a woman in the way that we commonly understand it, he would indeed be forsaking his creative and masculine energy and taking on a more feminine passive role. This is because settling down has the connotations of being tamed by femininity. However, if a man were to enter relations with a woman with the intention to lead her and the family, he would be true to his masculine active qualities. The distinctions are subtle as in both cases, as you said, the man changes after marriage/kids, however in one case the change is passive and the other is active. This doesn't refute your point above the intersubjectivity of things, but offers that there is still some internal consistency in the original view posted.

>> No.23018002

>>23017969
Your engaging in circular reasoning and incorrectly using an essential quality, sex/gender, as a name for a behavioral quality of activity/self-actualisation/leadership, which as you admit are behaviours independent of sex that both sexes do. You're also not getting how recognition works in intersubjectivity, and that it will always involve both being active and being acted upon. There's no discrete binary of active/passive, all relations will involve both forming and being formed, being both active force and passive plastic. It's hubris and dumb ignorance to say, "I am completely self-determined and I deny you women any agency." The very concept of intersubjectivity demands the agency of the other to be capable of recognising you, you can't be intersubjective with a brick wall. And you are always been formed by others in your relations, to deny so is to delude yourself and be ignorant of how you come into being.

I'm the second guy you responded to, first, either the labels "man" or "masculine" and "woman" or "feminine" have an objective meaning or they do not. If they do not, then Ibn Arabi's simping is also incoherent, there would be nothing in women as such to praise because there is no "woman" as such. On the other hand, if there is objective meaning, then surely the only objective definition of "masculinity" is to be the active agent and "femininity" is to be the passive agent. This is obvious and can be explained if necessary.

Thus, it is fair to say that women (in the ideal sense) reflect the passive agent and man, the active agent. True, individual women and individual men may display more or less masculine or feminine traits, but that doesn't mean there is no such thing as man or woman in the ideal sense. This is just Evola's view in the Metaphysics of Sex

Muhammad saww did not have a loving marriage with Aisha, but he had patience with her due to his high moral character. He did not die in her arms, he died in the house of Fatima a.s. Her political activity was fighting Ahl Al-Bayt such as by literally waging war against Imam Ali a.s, or by forging fake hadiths lowering the status of the prophet by saying he unislamically married her when she was six, or that he was bewitched, or that he used to touch her when she had menses.
God bless Umm Salama, a truly pious wife who abided by the Quran and never wavered in her support for Ahl Al-Bayt. Who stood by Fatima on fadak, sent two of her sons to fight with Ali, supported Imam Al-Hasan, and was trusted by Imam Husain so much that she held the items of imamate when he went to Karbala' and gave them to Imam Zain Al-Abideen.

There are two permutations of monotheism. All monotheism devalues the importance of the world (even if saying this life is of utmost meaning and importance), but what we can see between Christianity and Islam is two responses to the world. The traditional Christian response is modeled after Jesus. This world is not important. Be prepared to forego family, relations with women—basically asceticism and monasticism. This was the spiritual life par excellence in traditional Christianity. Even today, Catholics will call priests and monks followers of ‘religious life’, as opposed to laity in the world. On top of this, the world is corrupted and fallen in some way, even more reason to turn away. It is under the power of the devil, and we are radically depraved by sin.

Islam is another approach to monotheism. We are not radically depraved, even if we have become heedless and have strayed from our fitrah / true nature. Islam views the world as more fundamentally good, the Qur’an is full of meditations on the signs of God in nature, etc. There is a hadith which was narrated in which Muhammad said that those who do not marry are not of his Ummah. Muhammad was also famously a lover of women, sweets, and food. But also had an ascetic and otherworldly unattachment to the world. There is another hadith in which he slept regularly on a rough mat, and when asked about it, he said this world is like a tree a traveler stops under, only to move on in the morning. Muhammad is the balanced disattachment mixed with enjoyment of God’s pleasures and gifts in creation rather than self-denial. We can see this in the Christian tradition to a lesser extent from the OT material.

Christianity more represents the ‘sick man’ spiritual that William James talks about, while Muhammad preached a more healthy-minded spirituality, to use his words (and I, as he, use these words without any value-laden sense)

This is pretty much Ibn Arabi's argument (though there's more to it) that he makes in the Fusus chapter on Muhammad.

I think it's more that Christianity can end up in world denial and the idea that not procreating is somehow better. With Islam, and what Ibn Arabi is saying, is that the monastery is already in the society. The family man is no less qualified, and actually more qualified, to profound spirituality and closeness to God than the celibate.

Ibn Arabi is also critical of extreme fasting and mortification. He thinks those people who are closest to God, who have passed through all the spiritual stations to attain the station of no station don't need fasting (ramadan excluded of course) or mortification. Outwardly they are completely sober and able to go in and out of any spiritual station with ease without being dominated by it. So they basically seem like normal people and don't stick out with ostentatious "look at me I'm so spiritual" or "look at me I completely negate the world" behaviour.

Ibn Arabi thinks when you have sex you are creating a human, and this is God-like because God is the ultimate creator. Is it bad to have children? Are you supposed to hate kids or hate everything that leads up to having kids?

>> No.23027075

Not quite. He actually says Christ isn't fully human because he has no human father. He never criticizes Jesus and actually says he was converted into Sufism by Jesus who revealed himself to him and told him to become a Sufi. It's also probable that the mysterious youth he saw circulating the Kaaba was Jesus again. He has nothing but the greatest respect for Jesus but questions basic tenets of Christianity.

I think your knee-jerk reaction against the idea that someone can find a harmony between spirituality and day to day life which includes sexuality comes from Plotinus' world hatred which is inherited by Augustine. There is nothing like the baby hatred in Islam. Children are born monotheist and only later corrupted by the world. Augustinian original sin and Plotinian body hatred simply don't exist in Islam. It's not a bad thing that the culture hasn't developed a neurosis around it. Your problem stems from Plotinus and the Gayreeks, who aren't even Christian at all.

Eh... I also red he says Christ had a stain on his robe, and actually put mohammed above, just because he had wifes, a normal life etc. which is kind of a judgement of people with no women. So one should inverse the accusation by saying ibn arabi is not a spiritual master because he cannot understand one can reach God and know him without the need of his material senses and without the need of a woman + ejaculation.
I'm not augustinian, as I'm an orthodox christian, and never get appealed to this theology of the first sin with inherited culpability. But the world is still corrupt since the fall of Adam, denying the way to rectify the fallen inclinations of our nature is just stupid.
The one who see God everywhere doesn't need women, he contemplates God directly, no need of a matterial symbol, like in OP's quote (which is quite litteraly agnostic of spiritual knowledge). God is infinitely more than women, and his revelations are infinitely more than women.

>>23027052
In comparison to God's infinity, the world litteraly does not exist. Then people with inclination towards Him, and who know we can know him by the power of the soul without an external support naturally tends to act like this world was nothing, why force them to marry ? Why force men to act in a certain way. Christianity have married saints and married priest, I know charismatics of the last century in greece that had children or had sex (at least twenty of them). It is islam who force people to marry. If you realize the unity of the world and God in God, there is no need to go to women.

Ibn Arabi wouldn't say it's impossible or bad, only that it's a lower stage of spirituality, and the highest stage incorporates this knowledge while remaining in the world. I'm not sure you can really deny this without ending up an anti-natalist of sorts.

Sure then I guess you don't need the incarnation or an image of the cross (to say nothing of icons) because you don't have need of a material symbol and God is so far removed from materiality even though the second person of the trinity incarnated into a man and was born of a woman? Your logic is still Plotinian, and it ultimately denies the necessity of the incarnation and salvific power of Christ. "Just close your eyes to the world and meditate bro."

You can use words to pray, you can use metaphors/symbols, you can contemplate God in life. You can even contemplate God in women, like in the virgin mary, who is the first among the deified human race, but you cannot address it to a body but to the whole personhood spiritualized or to the wood of the icon, you address the spiritual through this support. Which means you don't need to coom in women to see God in them. You can hug one if you really see God in her, kiss her on her hand or cheek and then it's like the icons. But islam is just a man-made religion, it's only about sacrilizing human life, not about attaining the suprem through the love of the world or by renouncing it.

Babies will be made anyway, some are destined to make babies, or God can create some. If all humans were able to only live of prayer and the love of God, the whole world would be spiritualized. But worldly or normal people will breed for others. That's a non-issue.

>>23028135
Living a life of prayer is living a life to the fullest. Let's take an example : can you go everywhere in the world even while riding an arabic etalon during your djihad ? Can you marry all the women of the world, even if you are polygamous ? No. Which means ? there is a limit to your external activity in this life. Some eat more, some travel more, some marry, some don't and have more time for prayer, reading, self-less service,... The spiritual is not dependant on getting married and cooming in some women in order to see God in them. It's about following the right path made by God for you : either married or dedicated to a more direct approach. You have to see Mary in all women (oh no, I remember you will say she isn't perfectly realized spiritually because she was a virgin). There is no solution to the need of consooming. You cannot see God in all women if you have to coom in all of them for that.

tl;dr : ibn arabi was not a perfect saint because he didn't see God in all women, not being able to contemplate all of them with his penis (though he was in polygamy).
One should not be frustrated sexually but it's simply ibn arabi and muslims coomer who cannot envision people who don't need that. It's an arbitrary rule, to spite.on Christ and for men busy in gross matter with their several wifes, like if I said you need to sleep with 50 women and worship God in them to know God. Not even tantrist are so stupid as to say all men need to mary or that coomer are superior spiritually. As if having a wife.enables you to see God mystically in all human race.

Anyway you do you, but the fruits of islam are very limited. Muslim don't believe in miracles, and not even mohammed did any (Christ and christian do).

I'm on about what I just said. They don't have transcendantal God they can meet. So they "see" him in matter. Like the op's quote literraly being ibn arabi admitting he cannot see God without his physical senses.
In the way for action. They cannot even do miracles, believe only prophets (and not mohammed because he didn't do any) can do them.
It just point out to the fact it's a human-made "religion" which contredict all of Christ's teaching and justify it with cheap metaphysics (like "My prophet is more spiritual since he doesn't make a difference between being spiritual and wordly" which is a self-contradicting statement since it would not exist if there were no specificity in being spiritual. The one who claim to make no difference is in fact making a hierarchy even among his prophets (and putting mohammed above of course))

>I'm not sure you can really deny this without ending up an anti-natalist of sorts.
It's quite simple really, if you hold that becoming a recluse or monk allows one to reach a higher state of spiritual insight/refinement but that not everyone should become a monk, then that is a consistent way of holding that sex-related spirituality is inferior to pure gnosis spirituality but without affirming anti-natalism or being world-denying (because not everyone is recommended to abandon worldly life or become a monk but only those with a higher spiritual calling and who are not leaving important stuff behind).

Ultimately, one should critically question one's one assumptions. In Islam, Muhammad is seen as the perfect man, so accordingly there are efforts to endorse everything he did as exemplary. But if you stand outside of this bias and just think critically, there is no logical reason why the highest state of spiritual enlightenment should involve sex or women at all.

Well that's what a muslim guide in agia sophia (Constantinople) told me. Which said to me first, that muslims cannot do miracles, and only prophets, and second, that mohammed didn't do any, unlike Christ.
You can go check this :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracles_of_Muhammad
>Historically, Muhammad was unable to perform miracles, and this is openly acknowledged by the Quran.[1][2][3]
>[...]Nevertheless, after Muhammad's death, several devout Muslims who were dissatisfied with their prophet's lack of miracles—partly due to their arguments with Christians—decided to attribute a range of superhuman qualities to him in post-Qur'anic texts such as the Hadith and the Sira.[1][3][7] For some parts, they also relied on ambiguous Qur'anic verses that they then developed into elaborate narratives. Notably, the Quranic verses 53:1-2, which originally forecast a forthcoming event linked to the Day of Judgment based on a sighting of a lunar eclipse, were ultimately transformed by them into a historical miracle, the splitting of the moon.[8][9]
>For centuries, Muslim scholars have recognized the problem of authenticity of hadith. Thus they have developed sophisticated methods (see Hadith studies) of evaluating isnāds (chains of transmission). This was done in order to classify each hadith into "sound" (ṣaḥīḥ) for authentic reports, as opposed to "weak" (ḍaʿīf) for ones that are probably fabricated, in addition to other categories.[7] Since many sīra reports also contain isnād information and some of the sīra compilers (akhbārīs) were themselves practicing jurists and hadīth transmitters (muḥaddiths), it was possible to apply the same methods of hadīth criticism to the sīra reports.[8] However, some sīra reports were written using an imprecise form of isnād, or what modern historians call the "collective isnād" or "combined reports". The use of collective isnād meant that a report may be related on the authority of multiple persons without distinguishing the words of one person from another. This lack of precision led some hadith scholars to take any report that used a collective isnād to be lacking in authenticity.[9]

Whatever you may answer to this second embarrassing subject about mohammed the very human (whatever is more human and material is more spiritual I guess if we follow the logic of ibn arabi and co), OP's quote of ibn arabi " for the Real is never witnessed without materials" was the original subject is an embarassment for a supposed "le based monist mystic.

>that mohammed didn't do any
Either the guide in istanbul lied to you which is unlikely, or you misheard him anon. The Quran has a literal chapter called the Mi'raj, The Night Ascent.

The Shia even believe that every single miracle given to previous prophets was given to Muhammad on top of the miracles given only to him such as the Isra', Mi'raj, and the Quran.
Such as holding the sun for Joshua in an event called Radd Al-Shams for Imam Ali, or the prophecies of foresight for Noah such as telling Abu Dhar he would die alone or that Zubayr will fight his own nephew Ali or that Fatima will be the first to join him, and the mastery of David and Solomon over the language (the Quran uses the word منطق which means logic) of animals such as the prophet speaking with wolves who would then speak back, or reviving the dead such as Jesus when Muhammad revived the dead sons of Jabir, and countless others.

Like the other anon said

Well, muslims told me this eh
>The Night Ascent.
Which is a vision. And with no witness, no proof.
Then I see it's still weak, no miracles in the quran, only in latter hadith (of course after their "revelation" gets confronted to others, and then they also make a compilation of miracles). Of course, hadith are dubious and like an arabic phone, are just a transmitted story.
I don't know much about islam, other than the improbable fact that all apostles, evangelist, saint Paul, distorted the message of Christ, and the improbable fact there needed another revelation a few centuries later. I mostly argumented on the nonsense of the OP's quote logic. It's not a thread about islam, but about ibn arabi being a coomer, and using a false logic to undermine Christ and put mohammed above. Just like your supposed vision of mohammed leading the prayer of other prophts is supposed to show his superiority (which is understandably the main concern of islam).
I will not debate about islamic little facts of eruditions, as I didn't study islam. The main point of the original post have been answered, you don't answer to this anymore, and the discussion is leading to something else. Thus I will not feel forced to continue the discussion, as it gives me much sadness considering lost people and divisions, even spiritual divisions. Islam is even harder when you consider they cannot go into perennialism and have to necessaril deny Christ divinity and undermine him (which is something other pre-christian religions don't have to do, since it's not their core message of opposition).
Simply resumed, the logic is false, I cannot go much deeper on other subject of islam, I believed this muslim guide, and it's still a bit shady

I mostly agree with this, but I think it is a mistake to say these permutations fully align to Christianity and Islam respectively, though certainly I agree the first permutation had dominated most of Christian history

I can think of both theological impulses and heresies in Christianity that operate more how you describe Islam here, and I can also think of Fundamentalist movements in Islam that operate more how you describe Christianity here.

Ibn Arabi actually has a thing about this. He thinks reliance on miracles is overrated because it will likely provoke doubt in most people and push them away from the religion.
