Iqbal is not the only Muslim thinker to have the word panentheism associated with his conception of God. As Meena Sharify-Funk and William Dickson very poignantly argue, this term could appropriately (though not definitively) be applied to the metaphysical system put forth by Ibn ʿArabī. While the term may not apply “in any ultimate sense,” they say, “panentheism is a term that represents Ibn al-Arabi’s thought with far more accuracy than previous labels, such as pantheism.” This sentiment is shared by Mohammed Rustom, who also finds the label pantheism inappropriate to describe the thought of Ibn ʿArabī, because of his greater focus on God’s transcendence.
