Sufism. The Heart of Islam
Miguel Valls, Spain, 2013, 45 min.
Sufism is a very broad phenomenon that spread with Islam throughout the Mediterranean and will reach as far east as the Far East. The essence of Sufism is to worship God, not a religion, which is why the Sufi is able to recognise himself in all forms of true religion.
Ibn Arabi. The Splendour of Al Andalus.
Miguel Valls, Spain, 2013, 45 min.
In 1165 Ibn Arabi was born in the Andalusian taifa of Murcia, an exceptional genius who was recognised until the Renaissance as the greatest of sages. His philosophy proclaims the maximum openness to all formulations of belief, because God cannot be enclosed in any creed or religion.
