"From Letter to Spirit: The Role of Spiritual Unveiling in Sufi Exegesis" by Omneya Nabil Muhammad Ayad Ibrahim

In this presentation, Omneya Ayad explores spiritual unveiling as the foundation of Sufi Qur'anic interpretation, centered on a rare unpublished manuscript by Ruzbihān al-Baqlī devoted entirely to defending kashf's authenticity. She traces the rigorous criteria Sufi exegetes developed to keep esoteric readings accountable to the Qur'an's literal meaning.
