The unity of witnesses and the horizon of monotheism in Sufi love: Ibn Arabi as a Model

Abstract

This research presents a concept of love in its Sufi sense and spiritual dimension, aiming to unveil a state of liberation for the soul from the bondage of selfishness and desires, allowing it to attain elevation and spiritual ascent. The researcher seeks to offer this interpretation of "Sufi love" within the Sufi context and the framework of the Sufi experience, with its inherent spirituality. This approach leads to the genuine meanings of this type of love, wherein the will for elevation and ascent is manifested in the aspirations of the soul, seeking proximity to God through the stations of adoration and reverence.
