The renowned Hazrat Makhdum Fakih Ali Mahimi (R.A.) left behind an inheritance of religious and literary works. His breakthrough explication of the Quran, al-Tafsir ar-Rehmani, stands out above the rest. This book dives into the Quran’s scriptures, exploring the links between its different chapters in a straightforward manner. He brings to light both the mystical and non-mystical indispensables of the Quran and their connection with each other. Handwritten versions of this work exist, but printed versions are difficult to come by. His works were examined and discussed by mystics and researchers like Shah Wajihuddin Alawi, Ghulam Ali Azad Bilgrami, and Shah Waliuallah in India during subsequent periods. They cover subjects as wide as Mysticism, Predestination, and Tawhid, or Unity of ALLAH and Time and Space. They explain the elucidation of the Shariat and the Hadith heritages in the Light of Reason. In the Prologue to his Treatise entitled Al-Khusus Ila Mani an-Nusu on the work of Al-Wawnawi (d. 1274), believed to be Ibn-e-Arabi’s stepson, he explains mystical terms and doctrines in detail. He was engrossed by the works of Ibn-e-Arabi (d. 1240), resulting in his outstanding commentary on Arabi’s Fusus al-Hikam, the Mashra al Khusus Fi Sharh-i-Fusus al Hikam. He wrote three commentaries on the Fusus and one on Shihabuddin Suhrawardi’s classical Sufi text “Awarif al-Ma’arif. With remarkable ease he quotes from famous Sufis and Philosophers like Razi, Suharawardi, Qushayri, Sullami, Makki, and Kalabadhi whilst discussing the Doctrines of Tawhid and Predestination.
