For the first time, the worlds of Reality, Allusion and Expression are explored, as are the corresponding Intellectual, Imaginal and material worlds. The work not only engages numerous disciplines from philosophy, spiritual psychology, dream interpretation and Qurʾānic exegesis but intimates key elements of spiritual wayfaring as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe central premise of the work is that the Intellect is pure light, the first principle of existence, the fountain of life, and the source of power and volition. When the Intellect manifests in the human being, its attributes transform both soul and body. Each successively becomes a new creation, ascending the ladder of perfection after the spiritual properties of light prevail over base qualities of materiality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe New Creation\u003c\/em\u003e is a landmark study of the Abrahamic faiths in which its key figures Abraham and Jesus epitomize the highest station of the Intellect. God made Abraham \"a leader of all mankind\" (Qurʾān 2:124) and Jesus used to say to the people, \"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never tread in darkness, but will have the light of life\" (John 8:12). Throughout the study, the author employs powerful passages from the Bible and relates them to canonical Islamic sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn indispensable feature of the present edition is the translator's introduction which is a commentary derived from the author's lectures on the text. This introduction along with the parallel English-Arabic translation is a superb contribution to the field and an invaluable resource for students and scholars alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 322\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 06, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47649487749341,"sku":"9780983751786","price":77.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/qSjSKvjSwi9780983751786.webp?v=1773882922","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/the-new-creation-hardcover","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
