The prominent Andalusian mystic, poet, and philosopher Ibn ʿ Arabī (d. 1240) argued that God's friends and sorcerers rely on the same knowledge and principles of Islamic lettrism (ʿilm al-ḥrūf) to bend the world to their will. This premise led him to the conclusion, in Chapter 73 of his book The Meccan Revelations (ar. al-Futūḥāt al-Makkiyya) , that the word "sorcery" (siḥr) can be used as a synonym for saintly miracles (karāmāt). The present study, however, argues that, in other places, Ibn ʿ Arabī made distinctions between the miracles performed by God's friends, sorcerers, and prophets. Whereas God's friends can sometimes be figuratively described as "sorcerers," sorcerers themselves were never referred to as either "friends" or "prophets" in Ibn ʿ Arabī's works. This article further examines the relationship between jinn magic and sorcery, to determine under which specific circumstances sorcery was deemed praiseworthy in Akbarian Sufism.
