Summary/Abstract: In his paper on “Discovery of what is hidden, Finding what is lost”, Rusmir Mahmutćehajić offers thoughts on three aspects of the anthropocosmological perspective of the intellectual heritage of prophetic universalism. Concerned primarily with questions and possible answers on how the absolute and contingent are related in existence as a whole and on humanity’s position as focalising observer of the world and the boundary between the known and unknown. The essay is divided into three related parts – the Most Beautiful Example, Realisation, and In the beauty of the Face. Perfected humanity mirrors fully all that exists, so that the path for ascent it offers culminates in self-realisation in the fullness of existence’s reason and purpose, in fact in the discovery of all existence as manifesting the Absolute in beauty, His presence in the contingent. The author locates his mediations within a broader presentation of the Muslim intellectual tradition as described by William C. Chittick in his comprehensive scholarly body of work.
