Summary/Abstract: The mission assumed by Ibn ʻArabī, to guide the believers, to revivify the faith and to refine the esoteric knowledge of Islam, reaches an end in the Wisdom of the Prophets. Seen as the spiritual heritage of the great Sufi master, the Wisdom of the Prophets is the climax of his esoteric teaching. Shared with only few disciples, at the end of his life, the mystical references to the 27 prophets of Islam shed light on the mission and specific divine knowledge of each prophet, beginning with Adam and ending with the Seal of the entire prophecy, the Prophet Muhammad, who is to be seen as a vast synthesis of all previous revelations sent in the world by the Supreme. In the same time, the Wisdom of the Prophets is the final proof of his own saint situation, full of divine knowledge and grace, which fortified him to truly work for the benefit of the religious community and to revivify Islamic faith.
