Maqṣad-i aqṣá
This was one of the first Sufi works translated into Latin and was finally
rendered into an English paraphrase by E. H. Palmer in 1867 (see bibliographical
references). It is probable that this work was completed by Nasafī
prior to 1281. It is a relatively
short work. Its contents include a lengthy introduction followed by chapters on the
knowledge of God's essence; God's attributes, God's acts; God's acts in the words of
the Philosophers; the knowledge of Prophecy and Friendship of God; the beliefs of
the People of Imitation, the People of Reasoning and the People of Unveiling; the
knowledge of man; the Four Seas and a conclusion. The emphasis is ontological,
chapters seven and eight (which discuss the levels of existence) being the most
detailed of all. (See 26-7)
