Book Club: Claude Addas' Voyage of No Return

Join us Thursday evenings this fall at Qahwah House in the heart of New York City for the second book of our Sufi Corner Book Club! We will be reading fascinating titles on the history, practice, and philosophy of Sufism.

Our second series will be an engaging 4-session series on The Voyage of No Return  by Claude Addas, exploring the life, teachings, and legacy of the “Shaykh Al-Akbar,” Muhyiddin Ibn Al-’Arabi—arguably the greatest thinker in Islamic and certainly Sufi history.

Sessions will consist of thoughtful dialogue structured on the themes and ideas of the week’s reading:

Session 1: (p. 1-30) November 12
Should Ibn ‘Arabi Be Burned?
The Prince’s Prayer
“Flee towards God”

Session 2: (p. 31-60) November 19
The Masters of the Way
The Seal
“When what has never been disappears…”

Session 3: (p. 61-90) December 3

The Meccan Illuminations
“God is, and nothing is with Him”

Session 4: (p. 91-117) December 10
