Summary/Abstract: In the opus of Sheikh al-Ishrak Shihab al-din Suhravardi, the treatise “The Calling of the Simurgh” (Safir-i Simurg) has a special place in that it is a work that, from beginning to end, speaks only of the spiritual path and ascension. It is divided into two parts, corresponding to the two phases of progress on the spiritual path, the initial and the advanced. In this work, Suhravardi presents some of the essential aspects of his thought, such as the teaching of sakina as well as his many epistemological observations.
