of al-Fut¬håt al-makkiyya, one of the longer chapters of the book, to the Breath of the All- Merciful. He takes the Arabic alphabet as representing twenty-eight primor-dial divine letters.
In order to create the cosmos...
with all its invisible and visible levels...
God composes words and sentences and books employing those twenty-eight letters. The outline of this cosmological scheme is well known – Titus Burckhardt wrote a little book describing it many years ago.
Each of the twenty-eight letters corresponds to several things, including one of the divine names and one category of creature.
