The Truth About Illuminati

The original Illuminati were actually a group of Middle Eastern Arab and Persian mystics from Abbasid Iraq, who studied transmitted teachings documented in the writings of the venerable Shaykh al-Ishraq or the “Master of Illumination” Shahab ad-Din Yahya as-Suhrawardi.

Shahab ad-Din as-Suhrawardi was a descendant of Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr, the first Imperial Rashidun Caliph, and the adopted son of Imam ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, the fourth Imperial Rashidun Caliph, and Imam Ali’s appointed Governor for Egypt.

As-Suhrawardi’s writings were known as حكمت اشراق hikmat-i ishrāq, or the Philosophy of Illumination – and his followers were known as Ishraqi or in English, Illuminati.

Secretum Secretorum is a mid-12th century Latin translation of the Arabic encyclopedic treatise known as The Book of the Secret of Secrets, or in Arabic (Kitab Sirr al-Asrar), attributed to Abu Musa Jabir ibn Hayyan, al-Sufi, a student of the Sixth Imam, Ja’far al-Sadiq. It contains the original Arabic writings known as the translation of the Smaragdine Table, or Emerald Tablet of Thoth the Egyptian (Hermes al-Haramisah, Idris).

The Arabic encyclopedic treatise is on a wide range of topics, including statecraft, ethics, physiognomy, astrology, alchemy, magic and medicine.

It was highly influential in Europe during the High Middle Ages. It predates the writings known as the Rasa’il of the Ikhwan al-Safa (Epistles of the Brethren of Purity), who were known as the ‘original Freemasons’ of Basra, Iraq.

The Arabic version was translated into Persian (at least twice), Ottoman-Turkish (twice), Hebrew (and from Hebrew into Russian), Castilian and Latin. The Latin Secretum secretorum was eventually translated into Czech, Russian, Croatian, Dutch, German, Icelandic, English, Catalan, Castilian, Portuguese, French, Italian and Welsh.

The Arabic treatise is preserved in two forms: a long version of 10 books and a short version of 7 or 8 books, preserved in a total of about fifty copies.

For centuries, the Arabic Illuminati has been so secret and preserved, nevertheless since the start of the 21 Century, some important board members have come together to agree on us having an official website page which can enlighten people who never had any idea and receive those who are willing to join the brotherhood.
