Esoteric Islam

Esoteric Islam by Sachal Smith attempts to investigate the mystery letters of the Quran. These are called the “Huroof-al-Muqattaat”. Here, the hermetic arts of astrology, alchemy, and symbolism are employed to decipher their meanings. It also discovers the letters potential significance for human spiritual growth.

The book of divine guidance

The great ideals of wisdom were incorporated into the mystery teachings of ancient Egyptians in the form of hermeticism. That is why the hermetic ideas outline the tenets of all the major philosophies in the world that include objectivity and resolution in the exercise of their traditions. The Quran is considered as the book of divine guidance by Muslims whose main subject constitutes ‘man’. From a hermetic standpoint, the Quranic mysteries carry a great deal of connection to the hermetic arts of astrology and alchemy. The book attempts to explain the manner in which symbolism of the hermetic precepts is used to define the highest aspirations in man’s ethical behavior by the Islamic traditions.

From the book:

There are 29 chapters of the Quran that mention the abbreviated prefixes. The 14 letters out of 28 alphabets of Arabic language are used in different combinations in those prefixes among which two pairs are homophonic, i.e. different glyphs with the same sounds; hence making them 12 sound characters in total because each of the homophonic pair of letters here act as one character. I propose in the ensuing discussions that these 12 characters appear in a definite order in the Quran which corresponds to the 12 astrological signs, and such that the features of prefixed signatures as astrological signs form the subject of discussion in the associated chapters. In other words, these abbreviated prefixes summarize the chapters themselves, and letters in the order of appearance in Quran represent the 12 astrological signs. These letters are indicated in the attached table alongside their corresponding signs.

Esoteric Islam – mystical teachings of the Quran

The book Esoteric Islam includes the interpretation of Islamic traditions by use of the hermetic arts of Astrology and Alchemy. It discusses the mystical teachings of the Quran from the standpoint of ancient mysteries and modern metaphysics. Esoteric Islam attempts to understand the message of the Quran in its structural designs alongside the principle tenets so as to unravel the mystique of this very impressive literature.
