The whole learned Ibn Arabi society has practically convinced itself that translating Meccan Revelations is impossible.
Yet, the author of this volume has no such fear. Of course, the text will never be an easy reading, either in the original or in the English translation, and there will always enough people criticizing this or that choice of words. Of course, half way through there may be a need to go back and change something in the earlier volumes, and the electronic format makes it easier. But please don't let it stop you, Dr. Yousef, the critics will go away, and your translation will remain.
Masha Allah, The translation of al-Futuhat al-Makkiyya is very good and finally something to cheer for non Arabic speaking people like me. Eagerly waiting for volume 2 of The Meccan Revelations.
May Allah reward you for your efforts.
