Ibn 'arabi Society

Dunja writes: In Islam, Azrael is best known as the angel of death. The divine unveilings he received led Ibn Arabī to the conclusion that he is also a friend, healer and protector of pious Muslims. My lecture dwells deeper into the archangel's relationship with humans – with special emphasis on the spiritual seekers endowed with the heart of Azrael.
