Shams-Al-Maarif شمس المعارف app analytics for October 3

Shams al-Ma'arif or Shams al-Ma'arif wa Lata'if al-'Awarif[a] is a 13th-century grimoire centered on Arabic magic by Ahmad al-Buni. It is claimed to be a manual for achieving esoteric spirituality. The book is a patchwork of bits and pieces of Al-Buni's authentic works, and texts by other authors While being popular, it also carries a notorious reputation for being suppressed and banned for much of Islamic history شمس المعارف أو شمس المعارف ولطائف العوارف هو كتاب سحري من القرن الثالث عشر، يركز على السحر العربي لأحمد البني. ويُزعم أنه دليلٌ للوصول إلى الروحانية الباطنية. يتألف الكتاب من أجزاءٍ متفرقة من أعمال البني الأصيلة، ونصوصٍ لمؤلفين آخرين. على الرغم من شعبيته، إلا أنه اكتسب سمعةً سيئةً لقمعه وحظره في معظم التاريخ الإسلامي. It was written by the scholar Ahmad al-Buni who wrote it while living in Central Maghreb (modern-day Algeria); he died around 1225 CE (622 AH). Scholars like Ibn Taymiyya have criticized the book and labeled the author, Al-Buni, as a deluded devil (Shaytan) worshipper; although, the book was for Sufism and it was for the Sufist and not the public. However, it continues to persist, and is still being read in public and studied in the present day, despite its questionable reputation. Some Sufi orders, such as the Naqshbandi-Haqqani order have occasionally recognised its potential spiritual value, provided that the reader understands it.
