disciple Amad b. al-Mubrak al-Lama entitled al-Ibrz minkalm sayyid al-ghawth fiAbd al-fiAzz. Al-Lama was areligious scholar who lived in Fez and died 1155/1742. He
has a reference in Brockelmann.1 As is clear from the title,the book is not about the teachings and views of al-Lamahimself but about those of his mystic teacher, al-Dabbgh.2
Al-Lama began composing this work in 1129/1717 andwent on writing it after his masters death.3
It is scarcely possible to establish the actual number ofextant manuscripts of theIbrz.Several printed editions exist,the earliest was published in Cairo in 1278/1861. But the
two-volume edition by Muammad fiAdnn al-Shammfi,published in Damascus in 1984-86, represents a significantadvance over all its predecessors. It offers a good textaccompanied by learned notes. Whereas the Ibrz may beconsidered a kind of bible of the so-called Neo-Sufis, to dateno monograph on al-Dabbgh or his work has appeared.
A central theme dealt with in the Ibrz is the arqaMuammadiyya,4 the Muammadan path, and the position of

the Prophet Muammad in the cosmos. Until now theconcept of the arqa Muammadiyya in scholarly writingshas been anything but clear. Indeed it has been presented in a
variety of unsatisfactory ways, often based on grossmisunderstandings. Hopefully the present article willcontribute to clarifying the meaning of the concept on thebasis of examining an seminal work. But before turning to al-Lama, al-Dabbgh and theIbrz, I would like to make a fewpreliminary general remarks about the concept of the arqaMuammadiyya.
Islam is a religion of law. This may seem an almost
trivial observation but it is worth pausing to consider theimplications of this truism. The Islamic profession of faithillustrates this point perfectly: l ilha ill llhthere is nogod but GodMuammad rasl AllhMuammad is theMessenger of God. Here we have two basic propositions. Thefirst pertains to the concept of God: there is only one God,and this one God according to the understanding of Islamictheology is all-pervading and omnipotent. He determines
everything that exists in nature and in man as well. Thewhole of creation, fashioned in accordance with the all-wise,divine regulations, exists for man; it has been created by Godfor mans sake. And the existence of the world makes itpossible for man to fulfil his primary duty, namely to be anobedient servant of God. Mans obedience is to be achievedby following the divine law.
And here we come to the second proposition of theIslamic profession of faith. Muammad is the Messenger of
God. God communicates His law to mankind through chosenpersons known as prophets or messengers, the last of thembeing the Arab Muammad who lived in the seventh century.With the coming of Muammad the revealed law iscomplete. Everything that God wished to let mankind knowhas been transmitted by Muammad.
And this law is made known in two ways: firstly,

transmitters) is well attested amongst Islamic theologians, aswell as amongst Western scholars. Whereas Western researchhas primarily focused attention on the content of the matn,
traditional Islamic criticism has paid greater attention to thepersonal credibility of individuals making up the chain oftransmission. Those adths that traditional Islamic criticismheld to be trustworthy, authentic reports on the life, wordsand comportment of the Prophet, were written down in theninth and tenth centuries in several large collections whichcame to have canonical status.
By giving the sunna a written normative form in this
way, a framework was provided for man, or more preciselyfor a Muslim, to follow if he wished to conform fully to thedivine law. Consequently, certainty that one is doing what isright comes from two sources. On the one hand from resort-ing to written tradition, and on the other hand from onescorrect understanding of this tradition. But here we have asituation which introduces a further element of insecurity.Indeed, understanding and interpreting texts is an activity
associated with human reason, and reason is a notoriouslyfallible mental faculty. Amongst Islamic jurists and theolo-gians a debate developed that dealt with the question of howmuch weight should be given to human reason in interpretingrevelation, that is in interpreting the Koran and the sunna.
We have already emphasized the point that the sunna ofthe Prophet has the status of divine revelation. Here we mustadd that the Prophet himself, both his person and his physicalbeing, was gradually transferred to the divine sphere. This
historical process has been described in detail by Tor Andrin his book Die person Muhammeds in lehre und glaubenseiner gemeinde which remains the fundamental work on thesubject.6 He shows how the Prophet goes from being a modelof moral behaviour to being a divine-like object of cultveneration.

That al-Dabbgh had founded an order, the Khairiyyaarqa, is a later fabrication or a misunderstanding of theword arqa which in this case ought rather to be translated as
a spiritual tradition. Of course, it is true that al-Dabbghclaims to have received his main litany from al-Khair him-self,12 and Amad b. Idrs also mentions being affiliated tothe Khairiyya which, he says, links him to al-Dabbghspiritually.13
At this point I would like to consider a few of the basicideas and concepts found in theIbrz. Obviously, I can onlydeal briefly with a limited selection. The concepts I will
describe are: dhtand r,fat and Muammadology andarqa Muammadiyya respectively.Let me begin with dhtand ru.Dhtis a human being
as he can be perceived by the senses, man as a unitcompounded of body, soul and spirit.14 Very often, how-ever, dht signifies man simply as a physical body, in thiscase usually referred to as dht turbiyya.15 In the Ibrzthere are no cases of dht signifying higher spiritual
essence, that is to say the spiritual or divine kernel of onesbeing. Fritz Meier has already drawn attention to thisdistinction in his article Eine auferstehung Mohammeds beiSuy.16 The dht is formed by the blood which flowsthrough 366 veins. In the veins mans lower sensual charac-teristics live out their life, their source being the nafs, theconcupiscent soul. But the nafs does not have as prominent arole in the Ibrz as it does with so many other mystics, thesame being true of the haw, the passionate drive. The
illuminated mystic is able to perceive the sea of inner drives

and passions as a blazing fire.17
From a cosmological point of view, the dhtbelongs tothe dark part of the world, thealm.18 In a normal person it
is separated by a ijb, a partition, from the higher part of hisbeing, the r.19 In the cosmological scheme the r belongsto the world of light, nror to be more precise, it originatesin the world of the angels, al-mala al-afil.20 That is why,like the angels, it has the capacity to see God directly(mushhada),21 and possesses the higher human capacities ofknowledge and reason, fiilm and fiaql.22 After death the rleaves the dht and then lives in the barzakh, a kind of
limbo,23 which al-Lama describes in a special chapter onthe subject24 that I will not go into here. From the barzakhthe elite Friends of God come forth, together with theprophets, to attend the dwn al-lin in the cave of Mountir,25 which al-Lama describes in detail in Chapter Four.
The prophet Muammad is also made up of dhtandr26to turn now to the second complex of basic ideas, al-Dabbghs Muammadology. But in the case of the Prophet,
they are of a special kind and have a different relationship toone another than in a normal human being. The dhtof theProphet is hira, sharfa, kmila.27 While still in the world,it is endowed with the physical qualities that the inhabitantsof Paradise will enjoy, that is to say it is an imperishablebody made up of light,28 though it too originated from dust.29

The Prophet has no partition between his dhtand r; theyare joined together.30 The r lives within the Prophets dhtthe way love lives within a human beings soul, that is, it
permeates the dht completely.31 Consequently, theProphets dht is endowed with a special power; it drawsupward to God and not, as is usual, downward to the earthand darkness.32
Due to the special power of light that is active in theProphets dht, he is the intermediary between creation andGod. On the one hand, the divine lights pour down on theProphets dhtuninterruptedly, while on the other hand his
dht transmits them to Gods creatures, for example in theform of the Koran.33
But the Prophet is not only an intermediary. He is thevery starting-point for the whole of earthly creation. His lightwas the first thing to be created. I cannot here go into thehistorical background to this idea. It was from the Prophetslight that the whole of creation developed.34 For this reasonthe created universe is permeated by a network of luminous
threads, whose interactions and effects can be perceived bymystics who have attained illumination.35
Likewise, even after his death it is possible to perceivethe Prophet as he is in flesh and blood, in other words toperceive his dht. However, al-Lama or al-Dabbgh do notsay anything about a resurrection of the Prophet, as one findsin al-Suys Tanwr al-alak f imkn ruyat al-nab wal-

malak,36 which Fritz Meier has analyzed in the articlereferred to above. Perceiving the Prophet after his death ispossible as an image in a dreammanmanor in a waking
stateyaqatan, and in the latter case, that is while awake, intwo ways. One can see an image of the Prophet, an appari-tional form, a ra, or one can see the dhtof the Prophethimself. But only the illuminated mystic is capable of seeingthe Prophets dht.
Seeing the Prophet in a waking stateruyat/mushha-datal-nab yaqatanwhich is a major characteristic of laterSufism in generalis possible because the Prophets dhtis
endowed with a light that fills the entire world. Here is thekey passage in theIbrz dealing with this subject, which FritzMeier has already drawn attention to in his above mentionedarticle37 and which is also taken up in al-jj fiUmars laterwork theRim:38
Whoever sees the Lord of being in a dream can do so in twoways. In the first way the dream is in no need of interpretationbecause the person sees the Prophet in the same state he
appeared in the world and as the Prophets Companions beheldhim. Should this vision occur to someone who is illuminated then what he sees is the pure and noble dht of the Prophet. Ifthe person is not illuminated, he can experience this as well butthat is a rare situation. Usually what is seen is the image of hisdht (rat dhtihi), not his dht itself (fiayn dhtihi), since thedht of the Prophet can take on various forms and then be seenin numerous places, whether in a dream or in a waking state.This is because the dht of the Prophet possesses light which
emanates from it and fills the entire world. There is no placewhere the noble light of the Prophet does not exist. The dhtof the Prophet appears in this light the way the form of theface appears in a mirror. Thus, the light of the Prophet issimilar to a mirror which fills the entire world, and what is

represented in it is the dht. That is why one person can seethe Prophet in the east and another person see him in the west,one sees him in the south and another in the north. And innumerable
people see him in other placesall at the same time. Each personreally sees the Prophet before him because the light of the Prophet, inwhich his dhtis represented, is with each person. If an illuminatedperson (al-maft fialayhi) beholds the image (ra) of the Prophetbefore him, he then follows it with his spiritual deeper sight (bara)and penetrates through the light of the image to the dht of theProphet himself.39
The final sentences of the above quotation lead us to our next
pair of basic concepts in the Ibrz:fat and ar qaMuammadiyya. It should be noted that the concept arqaMuammadiyya is not mentioned explicitlyin the Ibrz. Interms of content, however, one is justified in applying theterm to al-Dabbghs ideas.
The goal of the mystic path is fat, illumination. It canonly be achieved under the direction of a shaykh,40 since thepath leads from the shaykh to the Prophet and from theProphet to God.41 As mentioned, al-Lama devotes twoextensive chapters to the relationship between the shaykh andthe novice, and pays particular attention to the phenomenonofrbia. Incidentally, we now have Fritz Meiers book onthe subject of rbi a as conceived amongst theNaqshbandiyya.42 Much could be said about the role theProphet plays in the novice-shaykh relationship through thewhole process oftarbiyathis being a special aspect of thearqa Muammadiyya. But I cannot go into this subject here.
The Ibrz says little about the preconditions for fat:travelling the path, asceticism, disciplining the carnal soul,

etc. These matters are taken for granted. As for illuminationitself, which usually only takes place after the death of onesshaykh,43 two kinds are distinguished: the normalfat44 and
the ultimate, all-inclusive, al-fat al-kabr. The first step isthat the novice descends into his inner self, into the region ofdarkness of his veins which are the locus of his lowercharacter traits, in order to purify these traits.45 If he succeedsin this, he can attain the first stage of illumination. Thesecrets of the material cosmos reveal themselves to him(futia).46 His sense organs become capable of perceiving thewhole of the physical cosmos.47 Since the cosmos, that is the
different worlds of the earths and the stars, belong to therealm of darkness (alm),4 8 this is a fatulmn,49 anillumination which the unbelievers can also attain, anenlightenment which does not bring with it any certainty ofknowledge.50 It is only to the believing Muslim that thespiritual cosmos reveals itself. He beholds the angels, theprophets, the spirits of the Friends of God, as well asParadise, Hell and the barzakh. This is the al-fatal-kabr,51
the great illumination. But even at this stage there is thedanger of falling into error. For example, spiritually con-sorting with Jesus which is made possible byfat can seducethe illuminated individual to renounce Islam and become aChristian.52
Certainty and real illumination only occur if the mystic

passes through all the material and spiritual worlds and ishonoured with the ruyat al-nab yaqatan /mushhadat al-dht al-sharfa.53 After this experience he is omniscient54 and
permanently protected against error (mafim).55 Hisknowledge is far superior to that of all others, in particular tothat of the theologians and the fuqah. Now he is actuallythe infallible source of interpreting the law.56
From the anthropological point of view, attaining fatsignifies that the partition between dhtand r has beenremoved; the illuminated individual has reached a state likethat of the Prophet.57
In order to experience a vision of the Prophet whileawake, a person must be in a special mental state. Al-Dabbgh describes that state in the following terms:
His mind is constantly occupied with this noble Prophet such that theProphet never leaves his thoughts. Other matters he is busy with donot cause him to stop thinking of the Prophet. People see him eating,but his thoughts are with the Prophet; people see him drinking, but histhoughts are with the Prophet. Even when he is asleep his thoughts are
with the Prophet.58
These remarks are similar to the classical definition ofarqaMuammadiyya which Muammadb. fiAl al-Sans quotesfrom the author asan b. fiAl al-fiUjaym who died 1702.The text runs:
The basis of this path [the arqa Muammadiyya] is that the innerbeing of the one who follows it59 is absorbed in the vision of

thought but the whole of Ibn fiArabs metaphysics, theproblem associated with wadat al-wujdand the concept ofaqqa Muammadiyya are totally absent. We still know
relatively little about the intellectual history of Sufism in thecenturies after Ibn fiArabat least as far as mysticism in theArabic language is concerned. In this area almost everythingstill remains to be done.
In conclusion I will simply make some further observa-tions about the historical influence of theIbrz. The so-calledbible of the Tijniyya, fiAl Barrdas Jawhir al-mafin,only contains five quotations from theIbrz66which is quite
the contrary to the second bible of the Tijniyya, the Rimof al-jj fiUmar.67 A fundamental idea in the Tijniyya isfay,68 which does not appear as such in the Ibrz. For asimilar notion the Ibrz employs the verb saq or suqiya.69
However, the world of ideas and the vocabulary of the Ibrzexercised an important influence in the writings of Amad b.Idrs, which is only to be expected as the latter traces one ofhis affiliations back to al-Dabbgh.70 Consequently theIbrz
may justifiably be considered a key work for the laterdevelopment of Sufism and clearly deserves to be studiedmore closely. In this connection, I may add that John OKaneand I intend to undertake an English translation andcommentary of theIbrz.
Analysis of sources

The most voluminous are the two chapters with al-Dabbghsinterpretations of the Koran and adth in the first volume.Then follow in size the chapter on the dwn al-lin, the
gathering of the spiritual regiment of the world in cave ofMount ir near Meccaa conception widespread in post-Ibn fiArab mysticism73then the chapter about shaykh andnovice, and after those the seventh and ninth chapters.
One can distinguish three types of texts: (1) Hagio-graphical anecdotes,74 (2) didactic-theoretical views of al-Dabbgh, and (3) comments by al-Lamat which, unlike al-Dabbghs texts, are supported by quotations from theologi-cal-scholastic tradition. Following is a list of the sources used

Sal, d. 641/1243 in al-Fayym), studied in Baghdad with Ab affiUmar al-Suhraward, the author of the famous Sufi textbook fiAwrifal-mafirifand the founder of the Suhrawardiyya order. Al-Sharshs
Riyya is an abridgement of the teachings of the fiAwrifon therelations between shaykh and student. This poem was, as al-Lamanotes,76 highly valued in the West. There is, for example, a longcommentary on it by Amad b. Ysuf al-Fs77 from the beginning ofthe seventeenth century, this was printed together with theRiyya inCairo in 1316/1898. This shows the direct influence of theSuhrawardiyya, or at least its teachings, in the far west before theinfluence of later authors was felt. Until now only the Suhrawar-diyyas expansion towards the east, into Persia and India, has beenknown in detail.

Summary
Two tables follow below. One indicatesthe how often eachsourcelisted by numberis quoted and, where possible, itsmain subject matter. The second table lists the subjectmatters and shows how often each is discussed and thenumber of books mentioned in connection with it. This mustcarry with it an element of uncertainty, as often only theauthor, not the title of the work cited, is given. It is also oftennot clear whether the citation is al-Lamas own or is itselfpart of a quote. This can only be clarified by looking up the
relevant source in each case to check the text of thequotation, a very time-consuming effort that was impossiblefor this survey.78

Thus, the book contains about 270 quotations. That is far lessthan for example theRim ofal-jj fiUmar. There one canfind 640 to 650 quotations from other sources. In the Ibrz,
most sources are mentioned only once or twice, with only afew exceptions. That is also different from al-jj fiUmarsbook, there two-thirds of the quotations are from twenty-seven works (out of the total of 125) by only nine authors.Mysticism is fully covered by al-Dabbghs his own words,it is presented as a knowledge that does not require externalreferences.79Al-jj fiUmar, on the other hand, takes overhalf of his quotations from mystical literature. It is interesting
that the theological-scholastic literature that was available toal-Lama was by and large not the same as that used by al-jj fiUmar. One reason for this was that fiUmar went to theeast and could build a library in Cairo and Mecca while al-Lama hardly left Morocco. Thus, he could only utilize theliterature that was available in Fez in the first half of theeighteenth century and which was used in the citystheological circles. The present analysis also adds to our
knowledge of the extent of this literature.80
