Ibn Arabi should be counted among the thinkers who have influenced centuries of research with their reflections, and for this reason Sheikh Akbar Irfan is a fitting title for him. This article seeks to outline the path that Mohi-Aldini's mysticism considers necessary for spiritual excellence; A path that starts from a natural life and reaches a mystical end by passing through houses; The path that is the main focus of practical mysticism and the fruit of Ibn Arabi's theoretical mysticism.
Delineating the path is the central goal of this article, and to achieve it, one must analyze the levels and levels that cannot be avoided; The three levels of the success of care, the knowledge of guidance and the practice of the province, which, despite the three levels of Islam, faith and charity at each level, lead to the nine stages of conduct. The nine houses are the result of placing the foundations of Muhyiddin's mysticism in the form of narration of Gabriel's questions to the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
This research had to adopt a special method in its searches; Because Ibn Arabi's data in writings such as the times of the stars are incomplete and ambiguous, and to complete and explain it, one must explore the wide range of his writings, take advantage of the writings of his students, and by providing this Everyone reached the road map that he has placed in front of the seekers.
This discussion has tried to show the weaknesses and strengths of Ibn Arabi's plan to the best of its ability. A project that relies on a narrative that has not been properly analyzed and does not imply the author's claim. Several propositions of the plan lack any analytical basis. The concepts of Islam, faith and charity have not been defined on the basis of reliable sources and have resulted in drawing an indefensible structure.
