    Great, refreshing, almost universal presentation for intellectually and historically oriented Islamic scholarship and curiosity - a great minimum introduction to REAL ISLAM to non-Muslims with a bent on intellectual discourse. This is real universal Islam in the least. Khwajah Nasir-i Khusraw was a great, fiercely revolutionary intellect and spirit. Like Hazrat 'Ali (A), he has what Hazrat Mohammad (S) said, "9/10 of the reach and content of Knowledge - and the remaining 1/10 is completely with that one as well", inner and outer. However, since the heterogenous yet comprehensive likes of al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, Ibn Rushd, Nasir-i Khusraw, Suhrawardi, Ibn 'Arabi (and his expositor 'Abd al-Karim Jilli), Haydar 'Amuli (Ibn 'Arabi and Shia Islamic synthesizer for the twelver Shi'a community), Mulla Sadra, one rarely sees the instance of an ACTUAL ACTIVE UNIVERSAL INTELLECT ('Aql Kulli Natiqa/Quthb Mutafarrid/Mutha' bi Waqt va Dawr) nowadays (as this video also indicates somewhere, albeit in a historical context) who brings us epistemically and ontically to further horizons - irrespective of the abundance of academic reviews and scholarship and also irrespective of the various branches of Islamic cosmology, epistemology, and jurisprudence, including the Sunni-Shia division, and the Nizari and Musta'li branches of Ismailism. Most books won't do that, though some fluid intellectual authors can shed great light on history and classification of thought. A singular exception is this wonderful preserved tablet of knowledge ("mahfuzhat"), this weblog: sufi-horizon.blogspot.com/ (somewhat extensively Shia/Sufi - also redefining the meaning of "Sunni" via the root-word "Sunna" as "the intellectual-necessary Whole of the Word and the World" - therefore dismissing the ill-defined popular notion of "mysticism" for the sake of a profounder logical-creative category of intellection and imagination). And in going beyond classical 'Irfan, Ismailism, Ibn 'Arabism, and the Sadrian "Four-Journey" gnosis, it decisively and categorically (ontologically and epistemologically) distinguishes between the most singular, uncountable, emanative, substantive category of BEING (Wujood-i Mahsulat/Wujood-i Mustajjid bi Munfasil) (which the author calls "surjective") and the more reflexive-reflective (and the so-called "inconsistent singular multiplicity") EXISTENCE (Wujood-i Munbasit-i Jam-i Mutakathirah) in general - making the Muhammadi Reality (Haqiqat Muhammadiya) ontologically four-fold: twice outward and twice inward (beyond just inward and outward, the details are given there). This weblog (and its author, indirectly) I've now known for some time through a friend in an intellectual (beyond post-modern) Shia-Islamic Universalism circle. It greatly satisfies my epistemic thirst for bewilderment as well as certainty - apparently the mystery author ceased writing/updating it in 2011. Again, see this: sufi-horizon.blogspot.com/
