This story begins with a divine unveiling: In 1220, a mysterious youth took the Sufi scholar, poet, and philosopher Muhyi al-Din Ibn ʿArabi behind the veil of the night. There, Ibn ʿArabi first came face to face with advanced and morally ambiguous spiritual practitioners known as the Nightfolk. In The Nightfolk, Duja Rašic offers a pioneering historical and conceptual analysis of the once-widespread beliefs about the night and its people in Muslim cultures and societies. Drawing on a wealth of primary source materials, Rašic traces these beliefs from their origins in the seventh century to their most prominent form in the thirteenth-century works of Ibn ʿArabi. Re-examining common notions of spiritual authority, ascension, self-isolation, moral choice, and transgression in Muslim cultures and societies, The Nightfolk is a crucial read for those interested in philosophical Sufism and Ibn ʿArabi's attempts to bridge the gap between the visible world and the realms of the unseen.
