Reflections on Creation: a spiritual work by Ibn Qayyim

First and foremost, it should be noted that this book is an excerpt from the famous work entitled The Key to Paradise. For the first time, a Muslim edition has made this text accessible in French. It thus opens up new horizons of reflection for French-speaking readers.

From the beginning of his book, the author emphasizes the importance of meditation in Islam. He particularly recalls that the Quran exhorts us to reflect and that "meditating for an hour is better than a night of worship." Ibn Al Qayyim also shares his profound reflections on various aspects of creation, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. As one progresses in the reading, one becomes aware of the perfection and wisdom of Allah in every element of our universe.

Reflections on Creation: from the human body to the surrounding nature

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya delves into the marvel that is the human body. He meticulously dissects the different systems and organs that compose it, thus highlighting their complexity and perfection. The reader discovers in particular a description of the nervous system, the heart and its vital role, the eyes and their ability to perceive...

He then devotes the second part of the work to the natural phenomena that surround us. He indeed focuses his gaze on the sky, the sea, the day and night, the stars and the celestial bodies. He thus offers a spiritual perspective on these elements that we often take for granted. In a final part, he even goes so far as to concentrate on the diversity of the living world by evoking the plant and animal kingdoms.

When biodiversity urges us to meditate

Through these reflections on Creation, Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya emphasizes the incredible biodiversity of our planet. He invites the reader to consider each living being as a testimony to the creativity and wisdom of Allah. He also highlights that each being has its place and role in the global ecosystem.
