This course explores the metaphysical vision of the universe as articulated by classical Islamic thinkers, with particular focus on the profound unity they saw between the soul, the cosmos, and the Divine. Challenging the modern fragmentation of knowledge and the separation of faith from reason, this course examines how Sufis and philosophers understood cosmology not merely as a study of the heavens, but as a contemplative path to self-knowledge.
