Shaykh Mahmud's Scheme

Shaykh Mahmud summarizes his book, which is relatively short-about one hundred and fifty pages-in a circle divided into eight sectors (see Figure 1). The circle represents all and everything-the One and the many, God and the world, Lord and servant, macrocosm and microcosm, and the interrelationships among the various realities that can be conceptualized in the nature of things. Each of the eight sectors has five levels, for a total of forty sections (forty being the number of completion2). However, the fifth level is the same reality in each case, but it is given different names depending on the sector from which one enters into it.
