Description

In this episode, Dr. Mohamed Ghilan presents the first of two concluding sessions from The Book of Illumination (Kitāb al-Tanwīr) by Ibn ʿAṭā' Allāh al-Iskandarī. This final section of the text is framed as a divine dialogue — an intimate conversation between Allah and His servant — in which the illusions of control, planning, and self-reliance are dissolved in the light of tawḥīd.

The discussion explores what it means to surrender the will, to find sufficiency in God's care, and to live with the serenity that comes from desiring none but Him.

This series is part of the Al-Andalus Academy program on spiritual formation and classical Islamic wisdom.
