Notes
Sadreddin Konevi's (d. 673/1274) work in the genre of varidât, written about God-human relations and the states of the soul. Varidât literature is the name given to works in which Sufis describe their experiences and thoughts on certain subjects in a fluent and enthusiastic style. For this reason, en-Nefahâtü'l-ilâhiyye attracts attention as the work that includes Konevi's personal experiences the most and therefore makes a very important contribution to knowing him. As a matter of fact, this book is the one that gives the most information about his relations with Ibn Arabi. The word "nefha" (breeze) in the name of the work refers to Hz. It is mentioned in a hadith of the Prophet and describes the breezes of God's mercy towards all beings. Konevi states that he wrote the work based on the prophetic advice to attack the divine breezes, and that it is possible to direct towards these breezes both with personal effort and through the eternal talent, abstractly from effort, but in both cases it is realized through "love". Later, under the title of fifty-one nefhas, which he sometimes described as "divine" and sometimes as "divine", he created the world by appearing in levels, such as God's creation of the world, existence and concreteness, divine ranges, the truth and types of knowledge, love and its types, divine, angelic and demonic principles, the nature of navigation and the states that occur in the soul in this process. explains the topics. Konevi also conveys many personal spiritual experiences he had, giving time and place, and also mentions the Sufis around him. In this sense, the last part of the book consists of Konevi's letters to his friends. In these letters, which seem to have been written in different periods, Konevi sometimes indicates to whom he wrote the letter, and sometimes he just says "To a friend". In any case, the letters contain important clues about Konevi's biography. The book was translated into Persian and published with analysis by Muhammed Hâcevî (Tehran 1996), translated into Turkish by Ekrem Demirli under the name of Divine Nefhalara (Istanbul 2002), and published in Arabic by Ahmed Ferîd el-Mezîdî (Beirut 2007).
