The Qabalah of 50 Gates: A Study of Al-Buni’s Kitab Shams al-Ma'arif 

Title: The Qabalah of 50 Gates: A Study of Al-Buni’s Kitab Shams al-Ma'arif 

Author: Ashe Steven (based on the works of Ahmad al-Buni) 

Description of the Work:
This esoteric work presents a comparative exploration of Islamic occult sciences through the lens of Ahmad al-Buni’s seminal grimoire Shams al-Ma'arif al-Kubra (The Sun of Great Knowledge), paralleled with the structure of the Kabbalistic “50 Gates of Understanding.” Ashe Steven bridges the mystical systems of Islamic theurgy and Hermetic-Qabalistic cosmology, suggesting spiritual and symbolic alignments between the two traditions. Drawing on al-Buni’s invocations, talismanic diagrams, and cosmological mappings, the book navigates through stages of spiritual ascent, knowledge of divine names, and magical correspondences. This synthesis serves both as an interpretive guide to Shams al-Ma'arif and as an invitation to deeper interfaith mystical inquiry. Ideal for students of comparative mysticism, Islamic magic, and esoteric traditions across cultures.
