| | Solomon ibn Gabirol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A suggestion of Judaic monotheism is found in Gabirol's doctrine of the oneness of the "materia universalis." The Neoplatonic doctrine that the Godhead is unknowable naturally appealed to Jewish rationalists, who, while positing the existence of God, studiously refrained from ascribing definite qualities or positive attributes to God. | | | This position is implicit in the doctrine of Gabirol, who teaches that God's existence is knowable, but not His being or constitution, no attribute being predicable of God save that of existence. | | | Ibn Gabirol holds that everything that exists may be reduced to three categories: the first substance, God; matter and form, the world; the will as intermediary. |

| | In accordance with the rules of rhetoric, some of ibn Gabirol's extensive nature poetry seems to have served as an introduction to his laudatory verse, for the patron's generosity was often likened to the ordained plenitude of nature. | | | The doctrine of matter and form was, in ibn Gabirol's view, the first of the three branches of science, the other two being, in ascending order, the science of (God's) will and the science of the First Essence, God. | | | Ibn Gabirol did not mention biblical persons or events and did not quote the Bible, Talmud, or Midrash. |

| | In this book Gabirol expanded on his ideas he expressed in his poem "Keter Malkut" In it Ibn Gabirol endeavours, in magnificent language, to unite religion and philosophy, and the spiritual with the physical, in a perfect harmony so as to glorify and praise the only True Being. | | | Gabirol's contribution to Kabalah was that God is an Absolute unity, in whom form and substance are identical. | | | Cordoba in the 10 century was the centre of the Islamic civilisation of the new Khalifate. |

| | Shelomo Ben Yehuda Ibn Gabirol |
| | Ibn Gabirol probably died in either 1058 CE (aged 37) or in 1070 CE (aged 48), although his death is surrounded by many reports and fanciful stories. | | | The focal element of Gabirol’s work is the origin of the soul and its relationship to its Divine source and the subsequent levels of existence, particularly the physical world. | | | Not only this, but it is the very nature of the rational soul to reflect its Originator by observing and coming to understand the forms within it and around it. |

| | Solomon Ibn Gabirol: A Jewish/Sufi |
| | In his spiritual masterpiece, the Source of Life, Ibn Gabirol dispensed with the medieval Jewish device of wrapping quotes from the Hebrew Bible into the text and the work took on a decidedly Sufi orientation. | | | century Sufi tract, the Epistles of the Brethren of Purity, Ibn Gabirol was considered one of the two great spiritual heritors of the ideas of the Sufi mystic Ibn Masarra, who had introduced Sufism to Spain. | | | Ibn Gabirol was clearly less circumspect about this Sufi ideal than was Maimonides, and “uniting” with God became the ultimate purpose of Jewish mysticism in the centuries that followed Ibn Gabirol’s acceptance of this Sufi concept – although it ran directly counter to Jewish beliefs, and even smacked of heresy. |
