Common Mistakes When Searching for "Ibn Arabi Books PDF English"

• Mistake #1: Expecting a "Beginner's Guide." There is no beginner's guide. If you find a PDF titled "Ibn Arabi for Beginners," it is likely written by someone who doesn't understand him.
• Mistake #2: Ignoring the Translator. A 19th-century translation by a British Orientalist (who thought Sufism was a heretical offshoot) will read very differently from a 21st-century translation by a practicing Sufi scholar. Look for William Chittick, James Morris, Caner Dagli, or Michael Sells.
• Mistake #3: Forgetting the Quran. You cannot read Ibn Arabi without a Quran open next to you. Every line of his is a verse from the Quran or a saying of the Prophet (Hadith) rephrased.
