Despite being somewhat of an enigma, he was well respected in his day and learned from many prominent Sufi masters in Egypt. One of al-Buni's most famous works is Shams al-Ma'arif, also known as The Sun of Gnosis, which is widely regarded as one of the most important medieval treatises on talismans, magic squares, and occult practices. This book, which rivals the famed Picatrix in importance, was even banned by orthodox Muslims as heretical, yet it continues to be read and studied to this day. Interestingly, the type of magic described in Shams al-Ma'arif was referred to as Ilm al-Hikmah (Knowledge of the Wisdom), Ilm al-Tasmiyah (Study of the Divine Names), and Ruhaniyat (Spirituality), rather than Sihr. Many of the so-called "time-tested methods" books on sorcery in the Muslim world are actually simplified excerpts from this groundbreaking work. Al-Buni was also ahead of his time in terms of his mathematical discoveries. He wrote about Latin squares and even constructed 4 x 4 Latin squares using letters from one of the 99 names of Allah (God). His works on traditional healing also continue to be highly regarded among Yoruba Muslim healers in Nigeria and other parts of the Muslim world. Despite the fact that many copies of Shams al-Ma'arif were burned and the book was suppressed for much of Islamic history, it remains the seminal work on Theurgy and esoteric arts to this day. It's no wonder that al-Buni is still studied and celebrated centuries after his death. //No copyright infringement intended. This product contains only files that are in the public domain.
