Divine Flashes

Lama'at (The Divine Flashes)
Book •
Fakhruddin Iraqi's Lama'at (Divine Flashes) is a celebrated Sufi work that interweaves poetry and prose to articulate the dynamics of divine love, spiritual longing, and metaphysical union.

Influenced by Ibn 'Arabi and the madhhab-e-ishq tradition, Iraqi frames the human-divine relationship as a mirrored lover‑beloved exchange that reveals deeper ontological unity.

The text uses rich symbolic language and lyrical imagery to guide readers through stages of longing, annihilation, and return.

Its blend of philosophical reflection and devotional intensity made it a crucial bridge between Arabic metaphysical thought and Persian mystical literature.

The Lama'at has been influential in later Persian Sufi poetry and devotional practice.
