Deskripsi
From Gnosiology to Waḥdat al-Shuhūd: The Anthropology of Mystical Knowing in Islam by Kamaruzzaman Bustamam-Ahmad takes up the oldest question of the spiritual life: can the knowledge of God (maʿrifah) truly be called knowledge? Moving from the science of gnosis to the summit of Sufi metaphysics, it charts the soul’s ascent from knowing about the Divine to witnessing it.
At its heart lies a distinction that has divided mystics for centuries — between waḥdat al-wujūd, the oneness of being, and waḥdat al-shuhūd, the oneness of witnessing, in which the seeker beholds nothing anywhere but God, yet remains, to the last breath, a servant. Part reflection and part testimony, this is a contemplative journey through the anthropology of mystical knowing in Islam: the human being as a vessel of knowledge, the heart as the organ of witnessing, and the long discipline of intuition, symbol, meaning, and taʾwīl.
