A Sufi scholar’s philosophical interpretation of the names of God
The Divine Names is a philosophically sophisticated commentary on the names of God. Penned by the seventh-/thirteenth-century North African scholar and Sufi poet ?Afif al-Din al-Tilimsani, The Divine Names expounds upon the one hundred and forty-six names of God that appear in the Qur?an, including The All-Merciful, The Powerful, The First, and The Last. In his treatment of each divine name, al-Tilimsani synthesizes and compares the views of three influential earlier authors, al-Bayhaqi, al-Ghazali, and Ibn Barrajan.
Al-Tilimsani famously described his two teachers Ibn al-?Arabi and al-Qunawi as a “philosophizing mystic” and a “mysticizing philosopher,” respectively. Picking up their mantle, al-Tilimsani merges mysticism and philosophy, combining the tenets of Akbari Sufism with the technical language of Aristotelian, Neoplatonic, and Avicennan philosophy as he explains his logic in a rigorous and concise way. Unlike Ibn al-?Arabi, his overarching concern is not to examine the names as correspondences between God and creation, but to demonstrate how the names overlap at every level of cosmic existence. The Divine Names shows how a broad range of competing theological and philosophical interpretations can all contain elements of the truth.
