3.8.11 - The Book of the Positions of Stars, (Almeria, Ramadan 595/1199)

When the Greatest Shaykh bid farewell to Murcia, on their way back, he and his companions passed by Almeria, a city on the southern shore of Andalusia between Murcia and Cordoba. There, he saw the crescent of the month of Ramadan, so he stayed there to worship in this holy month, and there he saw the Real Almighty twice in a dream saying to him: “Counsel My servants.” Thus he obeyed this order, especially when he was also inspired to write the famous book of “the Positions of Stars and the Onsets of the Crescents of the Mysteries of Sciences”: Mawâqi’ al-nuj?m wa-ma?âli’ ahillat al-asrâr wa-l-’ul?m (RG 443), which he wrote in eleven days in the second half of the month of Ramadan in 595 in this city of Almeria.

=\%This book is one of the most important books of Shaykh Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi, which is close to the rank of the Meccan Revelations and the Bezels of Wisdom, despite the small offense, but did not receive adequate attention from the commentators and scholars, perhaps because it is based on the reference and symbol. The Greatest Shaykh reminds him of the great conquests of Mecca and refers to him whenever the need arises for more detail and narrows the shop. He says about him in the 68th chapter of the conquests when he mentioned the costs of body parts from hand, man, heart and mind:

\%We have explained it in its perfection and its lights, dignities, houses, secrets and manifestations in our book called the sites of the stars what we have already learned in this way to its original arrangement and tied it in eleven days in the month of Ramadan in the city of Almer?a in the year of ninety-five hundred, sings for the professor, but The professor needs him, the professors are higher and higher, and this book on the highest shrine is the professor it is not behind him in this law, which worshiped by the one who got him let him depend on the success of God it is of great benefit. What made me know you about his house was that I saw the right to sleep twice, and he tells me to advise my servants, and this is one of the biggest advice I have advised to you.

\%As well as it says in Chapter six hundred and eighty that it was preceded by one to its arrangement, not to know what it is, a true book great interest small offense built on the occasion [492] The occasion is the origin of the existence of the world. [493]

\%At the beginning of this book, the sites of stars mention the great reason why he wrote in more detail:

\%When God willing that this holy book will come into existence and museums created by the selection of them and his blessings in the coffers of quality at the hands of the will of his slaves, moved my mind to ride the ride from Marsa to Almeria Vtmt backpacker and began to travel with the purest league and Akram boys five and five hundred When I arrived to spend things dictated to receive the holy month of Ramadan with a crescent moon and shook hands on his plot to the time of his separation, I threw the stick stick and took the male and ask for forgiveness, and I had Akram Gliss and best Anis. While I am plagued and subjugated and humbled in the homes of God’s permission to raise, has moon moon crescent and won the past days and nights of his men, as he sent me to the Messenger of His inspiration supporter and then Tdvh what inspired him to the son of God (perhaps Bader Habashi) in his dream, the dream agreed, The system of holding the rule in this book is the most creative system, and I learned then that as I mentioned from the will of his slaves to highlight this book and find it, and that I am the treasurer of this science and controlling these ceremonies; Mental to classify, and available motives for its composition, and consider the spirit of intellectual adaptation in high and good al-Badi organized it, arranged it on three orders, and walked in the most successful doctrines. [494]

\%The Shaykh then proceeds to elaborate the program of the book and that, as mentioned on three levels are the rank of care, which is conciliation, and guidance is the science of investigation, and the mandate, which leads to the shrine of a friend. Then he made each order take place on nine orbits, three of which are Islamic, three faithful and three charity.Islamic is physical, faith is psychological, and charity is spirituality.Then, he divided the paragraphs of the book into insights and houses and distributed the orbs to the human body organs and senses. everybody.

\%However, in the book Ornament of the Abd al-Shaykh, Shaykh Muhieddine says that after the publication of the book of the Positions of Stars in the country, Shaykh Muhyiddin turned to him and increased a section of the heart organ in 597/1200 in the city of Bugia. [495]

\%[492] The occasion is an important science for the people of Allah who consider that there are only two things that meet for an occasion between them, as in the story that Shaykh Muhyiddin mentioned about his Shaykh Abu Madyan with the polytheist who was walking beside him, which we mentioned in the beginning of this chapter.
