Interview with Stephen Hirtenstein: Ibn Arabi, the Unlimited Mercifier

[@Paul_Om]

I have been attending a couple of Ibn Arabi groups this past year, and this interview was really very helpful in getting a better understanding of the life and teachings of this Sufi mystic. Excellent ! Inspirational !

[@mahnazalikhani2782]

What a wonderful interview thank you very much for inviting Stephen Hirtenstein

[@carolineaustin4138]

Thank you for posting this interview with Stephen Hirtenstein. It is wonderful to hear from a scholar who reads with his heart.

[@MegaMaybury]

I've watched ertugrul 5 times now. It's absolutely amazing

[@oceanmachine1906]

Ibn Arabi's "Meccan Illuminations" are incredible, as with the "Bezels of Wisdom". Henry Corbin has also written some amazing books on Ibn Arabi.

[@patriciaamundsen-ATUR]

I watched the whole series and was overjoyed to find Ibn Arabi represented ...Now I am learning about his life.

[@simka321]

In Greek, the name "Stephen" means "crown," which happens to perfectly suit the gravitas and nobility of Mr. Hirtenstein's formidable presence.

[@muchtarfam]

what a beautiful introduction to the greatest sheikh. The explanation not only offers information, but somehow carries the sentiment as well. thank you mindmatters and stephen.

[@briojaxen]

My first encounter was the book " Know Yourself ". Accredited to Arabi / Balyani. A much loved book. A great interview, thank you.

[@MoniqueFreedom]

A wonderful interview ! loved it ! I placed a book order for Stephen Hirtenstein's The Unlimited Mercifier: The Spiritual Life and Thought of Ibn 'Arabi at our local bookstore . (due to these 'Strange times" --- it might take a couple of months! ) The contemplation of the Beloved (within and without)

[@brodar2232]

Dear God how am I just finding out about your channel, a marvel!

[@hkoehli]

Good to have you here!

[@QuantumRyan]

Great interview! Excellent insight into Sufism and the nature of Islam. I look forward to any future appearances by Stephen. 👍👍🌟

[@cooperwestmedia685]

Thank you very much, like you said very very very rare these sorts of subjects are getting discussed. People may be critic because they don’t understand this phenomenal knowledge but you have to keep producing such piece of work And thank you very much Mr Stephen . Good luck

[@daleibncooper2841]

I’m only 20 minutes in, and am not wanting this interview to end lol. I’ve been looking for more video/audio content on Ibn Arabi and there just doesn’t seem to be enough in English, so I insist you guys interview Dr. Stephen once again! Or perhaps a series of other Akbarian scholars like Dr. Samir Mahmoud, Dr. Winkel, Oludamini Ogunnaike, and others from the Ibn Arabi society. Thanks and look forward to checking out the rest of your KZbin catalogue!

[@raphaelwalterlin1681]

Check out Eric Winkel‘s videos on his translation of the Futuhat. All in English.

[@SalimESpohr]

Dear Shaykh Stephen. Im happy with this Interview. - Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani, q, my Shaykh for many years and also today, has once said, he would kiss the hand of that one who would explain to him the system of Ibn Arabi.

The Sufi sciences are beautiful and real sciences. The truth behind this topic is that when you deal with the Creator, you find that everything changes time, place . You think that you were born again. The only mistake is that you do not talk to anyone, because if you talk you go out of Human nature becomes unusual

[@SIMKathy]

I’ll never see/experience the Divine Names in quite the same way, ever again. A permanent pivot.

[@RahaRo11]

Great channel.thanks.

[@Laharnaman]

My my, just when you think you have at least an overview of today's spiritual landscape, something of an entirely different order comes along. This talk stopped this one in its tracks...no more talk.🙄

[@solsak836]

I always get annoyed when the word "ideas" are used like "his ideas" because he stated, that he does not reflect on truth, they are bestowed via unveiling by God, they aren't ideas

[@sarmoun706]

Are there more of Ibn Arabi´s spiritual experiences being described in "The Unlimited Mercifier"?

[@coreyschink3492]

Yes, it's filled with his spiritual experiences. It's a great book.

[@lazut273]

thanks a lot , need more

[@TheSilkRoadFreak]

Great and valuable contents, thank you. Please, could you be so kind as to recommend a good translation of the Qur'an and of the Hadith?

[@Merlin-ur1dz]

Its all us all good Creator love you all

[@bash936]

Vow wonderful unlocking No praise enough

[@irumamir8564]

Than you so much

[@ShareefusMaximus]

Yeah, the Ibn Arabi in the Ertigul TV show is just a stereotypical Turkish Baba. Ibn Arabia's knowledge is a thing that would have astonished the scholars and the intelligentsia of pre Ottoman Anatolia.

[@ibnelgharbimongi9662]

Thank you to Mr. Hirtenstein for this kaleodoscopic overview of the author and the work. Can you indicate the book in which Ibn Arabi relates the vision he had of Surat Yassin and who saved him from deadly disease.Thank you. Mongi Gharbi-Tunisia

[@MindMattersVideo]

Futuhat IV.648. Not sure which chapter that is, though. (Citation is from chapter 3 of Unlimited Mercifier.)

[@ibnelgharbimongi9662]

@@MindMattersVideo Thank you for answer but Futuhat IV (Edition sader ) ends at page 561. So, I didn't fine what i am looking for..

[@ibnelgharbimongi9662]

ٍThe vision of Surat Yassine is related by Ibn Arabi in Futuhat IV- Editing Sader- Chapter 560-(commandments)page 500/Mongi Gharbi-Tunisia

[@akyraider1972]

Hello. What is HEART or QALLB meant by Ibn Arabi? Is it literal heart or heart chakra or something other ? Thanks and regards

[@homeboysudaka5629]

Ibn Arabiis name can’t be mention in any masjid (mosque )in America . You be called a deviant That’s how sad it’s the state of Islam this days

[@enlightenlife2840]

That's the typical salafi ideology lol, they don't want Muslims to 'love' Allah. Their ideology is fear to get people to commit to their faith. Alot end up atheists lol especially the new generation, can't fool them anymore. Ibn arabi is unique because he learnt how to become a spiritualist through Islam, he never deviated he just had unique ideas, nobody is perfect is even great pious men.

[@solsak836]

Not all mosques, we mention him sometimes in our masjid here in Australia

[@robertjsmith]

When Ibn’Arabi met Rumi he said “ why do you stay in your Rumi Rumi ,when the door is always open”

[@naradaian]

Back for more - strong spirit to be drunk slowly…wonder full. Thanks so much

[@naradaian]

You made me laugh longer and louder than I think this person ever experienced ‘ Im only here because this guy doesnt believe in miracles’ AND Glory be to God

Stop trying to culturally appropriate Sufism from Islam. Ibn Arabi is a Muslim So check your pride and see if you can humble yourself to Allah and his messenger. Stop being cowardly

[@hkoehli]

Checking pride and humbling oneself is a good exercise. Want to try it with me?

[@thomasnewton5112]

@@hkoehli humility is my strong suit. If you were to meet me face to face you would recognise that. But my point remains get rid of the pride from your heart and humble yourself to Allah and his messenger. Ibn Arabi is the greatest master and mystic. Stop trying to culturally appropriate the heart of Islam. If you cannot do that you have pride in your 💓

[@bizogi9129]

Aren't you culturally appropriating a western name yourself?
