The Egyptian philosopher ʿAbd al-Rahman al-Badawi (1917-2002) is perhaps one of the most underrated thinkers of #ContemporaryArabThought - a major #Heideggerian_existentialist #Sufism and #IslamicPhilosophy specialist who studied at Fuad I (later #Cairo) University 1/ 
Many of us who study #IslamicThought know him for his editions of #ArabicAristotle #ArabicPlato #ArabicPlotinus as well as editions of the work of #Avicenna #IbnSabin #SiwanalHikma and others - without his efforts we would not have editions of the #PlotinianaArabica 2/
In the 1930s he studied in Cairo and obtained his PhD in 1944 supervised by #AlexandreKoyré (1892-1964) on the notion of 'existential time' that engages with #Heidegger - this like his other early works was published by #DaralNahdaalMisriya 3/
One of many copies in the #BritishLibrary of al-Tuhfa al-mursala ila (ruh) al-nabi of the (Shattari?) Muhammad b. Fadlallah Mubarakpuri (d. 1619) 1/
#Mubarakpuri wrote the work in 1590 and emanating from Western India into the #Indianocean and #SEAsia it became a major and simple conduit for the dissemination of the #IbnArabiSchool and its metaphysics 2/
In libraries around the world there are numerous copies as well as studies and editions and translations by the like of A.H. Johns books.google.co.uk/books/about/Al… 3/
#Intisharat_e_mawla published the works of Muhammad Husayn Fazil-e Tuni (1880-1960), a famous teacher of Arabic literature and philosophy in #Tehran whose students include Javadi Amoli, Hasanzadeh Amoli as well as the historian of Persian literature Zabihollah Safa (1911-1999)1/
After studies in Arabic literature, grammar and rhetoric at Madrasa-ye Navvab #Mashhad, he moved #Isfahan where he studied with Jahangir Khan Qashqai (1827-1910), Shaykh 'Abdullah Gulpayigani & Mirza Muhammad Husayn Fisharaki (d. 1932) the latter students of Akhund Khurasani 2/
with Qashqai for 6 years, he studied the #Manzume of #Sabzavari (d. 1879), the #Shifa' of #Avicenna (d. 1037), and the #Tamhidalqawaid of #IbnTurka (d. 1432), a text that was emerging in the later #Qajar period as a tool for teaching philosophical mysticism #Irfan 3/
Classics of #IslamicPhilosophy #IslamicMysticism translation of the so-called #TafsirIbnArabi which is in fact #Tawilat of #AbdalRazzaqKashani (d. c. 1336) translated by Sayyid Javad Hashimi ‘Ulya in 2016 #Intisharat_e_mawla 1/
Anyone who reads this carefully especially on the question of the #Mahdi cannot help but wonder about the notion that #Kashani was not #Shii as discussed by #PierreLory global.oup.com/academic/produ… 2/
The same translator rendered the classic #JamialAsrar of Sayyid Haydar Amuli (d. after 1385) into Persian in 1998 which provides the metaphysical argument for the complete compatibility of #ShiiIslam with #IbnArabiSchool 3/
#Intisharat_e_mawla on #Enghelab in #Tehran which is currently shut has been at the forefront of publishing on #IslamicPhilosophy and #Mysticism especially through translations of major works 1/
One of their most prolific editors and translators was the #Zahabi author #MuhammadKhajavi (1934-2012) for his work on #MullaSadra and the #IbnArabiSchool google.co.uk/amp/s/www.hams… 2/
