Antique 17th Century Safavid Islamic Art Calligraphy Panel Persian Poetry Jami

  
Antique Islamic Calligraphy Panel Handwritten masterfully in Nastaliq Script from 17th Century Safavid Persia. A Remarkable Persian Poetry of Abdul Rahman Jami inspired by Ibn Arabi Philosophy of "The Perfect Man". The doctrine of perfect man (Al-Insn al-Kmil) is popularly considered an honorific title attributed to The Prophet Muhammad having its origins in Islamic mysticism, although the concept's origin is controversial and disputed.

Taking an idea already common within Sufi culture, Ibn Arabi applied deep analysis and reflection on the concept of a perfect human and one's pursuit in fulfilling this goal. In developing his explanation of the perfect being, Ibn Arabi first discusses the issue of oneness through the metaphor of the mirror. In this philosophical metaphor, Ibn Arabi compares an object being reflected in countless mirrors to the relationship between God and his creatures.

God's essence is seen in the existent human being, as God is the object and human beings the mirrors. Meaning two things; that since humans are mere reflections of God there can be no distinction or separation between the two and, without God the creatures would be non-existent.

When an individual understands that there is no separation between human and God they begin on the path of ultimate oneness. The one who decides to walk in this oneness pursues the true reality and responds to God's longing to be known. The search within for this reality of oneness causes one to be reunited with God, as well as, improve self-consciousness. Here is the content of this beautiful Poetry Calligraphy Panel.
