This study examines Islamic mysticism according to Abdu'l-Jabbar Al-Niffari who has been accepted as an importing figure in Islamic mysticism and among the pioneers of Ibn Arabi in the history of Sufism. Niffari, who lived in the fourth century (AH), couldn't find much fame since he preferred a humble and individual life style. The recent academic researches have shed light on his deserved reputation. The first comprehensive study about Nifferi belongs to M. Mustafa Cakmaklioglu in Turkey, which I review in this paper. In this study, Cakmaklioglu intensely examines Niffari's life, works, and contribution to Sufi knowledge. The author tries to understand Niffari, who uses a very vehement, dense, symbolic, and paradoxical language, through Ibn Arabi since he is familiar with his earlier works.
