Ibn'Arabi (Murcia 1165-Damascus 1241), Muslim philosopher, theologian and mystic, is recognized in the tradition of Sufism as the greatest Master. He is the philosopher who undoubtedly best theorized the uniqueness of God, recognizing the divine presence in all forms and images. Saying of him: “I am neither a prophet nor a Messenger, I am simply an heir, one who plows and sows the field of the future life.” Ibn'Arabi gave himself the ability to summon prophets outside of "imaginal presences" considering himself the equivalent of the Envoys of God. More than a biography of Master Ibn'Arabi, the work is a study, an in-depth analysis of the universe of spirituality as a source of "creative imagination". According to these reflections and meditations, Creation, cosmic macrocosm, visible shadow of the original light is first of all a materialization of the divine word. The creature responds to the initial conditions of the creation of worlds, also imagining its world or worlds, itself continuing creation and renewal. It was through this study, founding in his work, that Corbin forged the concept of "imaginal", initiating here the decompartmentalization that he would pursue throughout his work between imagination and science.
