The Bezels of Wisdom is Ibn Arabi’s luminous map of the heart, casting the wisdom of each prophet as a jewel set in a ring. Born of a vision in which the Prophet entrusts him with these gems, it polishes facets of the one Reality and shows how God discloses Himself through names, forms, and the creative imagination. Stories become mirrors where the seeker sees the Real in the self and the self in the Real. Read slowly, as if crossing a garden before dawn, and you may feel the book rearrange your questions about love, knowledge, and being.

Attar’s classic Sufi poem sends the world’s birds, led by the wise hoopoe, on a perilous quest to find the Simorgh, a king beyond the mountain of Qaf. Crossing seven valleys of Quest, Love, Knowledge, Detachment, Unity, Wonderment, and Poverty, they shed fears and certainties through parables that probe the soul. Most fall away, undone by pride, desire, or comfort. The few who arrive at the end find not a distant sovereign but a mirror like lake, where thirty birds see themselves as the Simorgh. The tale invites seekers toward self emptying, shared courage, and the discovery of the Divine within.
