The Mystical Intellect: Ibn ʿArabī, Al-Futūḥāt al-Makkiyya, and the Architecture of Islamic Epistemology by Kamaruzzaman Bustamam-Ahmad (KBA13 Insight, 2026).

A landmark study of how one of Islam’s greatest metaphysicians built an entire architecture of knowing. Drawing on Ibn ʿArabī’s monumental Al-Futūḥāt al-Makkiyya, this book maps the imaginal world (ʿālam al-khayāl), the metaphysics of letters (ʿilm al-ḥurūf), and the frontier (barzakh) where spirit and matter meet.

Rigorous yet luminous, it places classical Sufi epistemology in conversation with Henry Corbin’s mundus imaginalis, modern phenomenology, and even Wittgenstein on the limits of language — while grounding the discussion in the living intellectual tradition of the Nusantara.

Essential reading for anyone drawn to Islamic philosophy, Sufism, comparative epistemology, and the enduring question of how the human mind reaches the real.
