Ibn Arabi is highly known
Ibn Arabi is highly known as the initiator of one of the mystical ideas in the history of Sufism, that is the unity of being (wahdat al-wujud). Although not completely correct in respect to his use of the term, undeniably Ibn Arabi was the first to have initiated the mystical idea to be more clear and distinct as it can bee seen in many of his writings. Etymologically, wahdat is unity, and wujud is being or existence; so, wahdat al-wujud means the unity of being.
Ibn Arabi’s unity of being (wahdat al-wujud) is often misunderstood by most people. Most of the people assume that the unity of being (wahdat al-wujud) is a sort of or nothing than pantheism, or pantheism itself is the unity of being (wahdat al-wujud)' or the two are interchangeable. The people seem unable to differentiate the two. Certainly, it is not right. The unity of being (wahdat al-wujud) of Ibn Arabi is never the same as pantheism as the popular sense.
On this video I endeavour to clarify the two and highlight what are the differences and the similarities between wahdat al-wujud (the unity of being) and pantheism. So, on this video we are going to answer our chief question, “Is wahdat al-wujud pantheism?” palpably and explicitly.
