The Book of Mim, Waw and Nun
كتاب الميم والواو والنون (Kitab al-mim wa-l-waw wa-l-nun)
A treatise on the science of letters meditating on three letters of the Arabic alphabet, mim, waw and nun, whose names begin and end with the same letter. Ibn Arabi reads them as symbols of the relation between God, the human being and the world, and shows how the structure of the Qur'an's language mirrors that of existence.
