The Setting-Places of the Stars
مواقع النجوم (Mawaqi al-nujum)
A treatise on the stages of the spiritual path structured according to the three "lights" (of islam, faith and excellence), with a systematic correspondence between the organs of the body and acts of worship. It is one of his earliest Andalusi works and already shows the method of inner reading of the religious law that he would develop in the *Futuhat*.
