Abstract	:	The current thesis focuses on. The Equivalence between Giving and Receiving (Al-Taswiya bayna al-Ifāda wa-l-Qabūl), an unpublished Arabic treatise written by Muhibb Allāh Ilāhābādī (d. 1648), know in India as "the second Ibn `Arabī." Although this text is one of the most controversial interpretations of Ibn `Arabī" metaphysics written in India, it and its author are rarely mentioned in contemporary scholarship on Sufism. I will argue that The Equivalence evinces a deeply Avicennan Neoplationic idiom that is distinct from Ibn `Arabī's synthesis, which serves as its wider framework. The text thereby demonstrates an innovative integration of philosophical traditions within the larger context of Ibn `Arabī's school in seventeenth-century India, showing that Muhibb Allāh's unique philosophical synthesis is in conversation with his diverse intellectual milieu. The Equivalence reveals a dynamic philosophical discourse among intellectual communities of seventeenth-century South Asia.
