About The Book
The Divine Reports is a translation ofMishkāt al-Anwār.It is a profound compilation of sacred hadiths (aḥādīth qudsiyya) gathered and transmitted by the celebrated Andalusian mystic and scholar, Ibn al-ʿArabī (1165–1240 CE), also known as The Greatest Master (al-Shaykh al-Akbar). This work presents over one hundred sayings attributed directly to Allah, conveyed through the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. These sayings are revered in the Islamic tradition for their spiritual depth, conveying divine speech that is distinct from the Qur'an yet illuminated by its authority.
The book is divided into three main sections:
- Hadiths with full chains of transmission (isnād) ending directly with Allah.
- Hadiths withoutisnādbut nonetheless traced back to divine address.
- Additional sacred sayings that focus on divine mercy, judgment, and spiritual insight.
Themes throughout include Allah’s mercy, justice, provision, divine presence, and the intimate relationship between the Creator and His servants. Many hadiths emphasize the transformative power of remembrance (dhikr), love for others for the sake of Allah, sincerity, and contentment with divine decree.
The compilation also explores eschatological realities, including paradise, divine judgment, and intercession. Ibn al-ʿArabī compiled these hadiths partly inspired by the Prophetic narration that promises divine favor to those who preserve and share forty hadiths for the benefit of the ummah.
This English-Arabic edition, carefully translated and presented, makes accessible one of the most spiritually potent compilations in the Islamic tradition, reflecting the inner lights of divine address.
About the Contributor(s)
About the author
Ibn Arabi: Muhyi al-Din Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Arabi al-Hatimi al-Taʾi (560-638 AH / 1165-1240 CE) is among the most influential figures in the history of Islamic spirituality, revered by later generations as al-Shaykh al-Akbar, "the Greatest Master." He was born in Murcia in al-Andalus (Muslim Spain) and raised in Seville, where he received a broad education before turning fully to the path of the Sufis as a young man. From the 1190s onward he traveled across the Islamic world, through North Africa to Makka, then Baghdad, Anatolia, and other centers of learning, before settling in Damascus, where he taught, wrote, and was buried. He was one of the most prolific authors of the tradition, and two works stand at the center of his legacy: the monumental al-Futuhat al-Makkiyya ("The Makkan Revelations"), begun in Makka, and Fusus al-Hikam ("The Bezels of Wisdom"), a concentrated meditation on wisdom as embodied in the prophets. His articulation of the unity of being (wahdat al-wujud) and of the Perfect Human (al-insan al-kamil), in whom the divine names are fully realized, reshaped metaphysics, poetry, and devotion from the Maghrib to South and Central Asia. Alongside these great treatises he left prayers, litanies, and contemplative manuals, several of which appear here in English, that continue to nourish seekers today.
