Ditulis dalam gaya bahasa aporisma yang indah tanpa menggusur kedalaman pesan yang ingin disampaikan, Al-Hikam yang ditulis Ibnu Atha’illah as-Sakandari mendeskripsikan jalan-jalan spiritual yang harus ditempuh para penempuh jalan tersebut.

Sebagai jalan menuju yang ilahi, mistisisme didefinisikan sebagai proses yang tak bisa dinalar (irrational) dan tak terjelaskan dalam narasi deskriptif. Karena itulah, pengetahuan mistisisme juga lebih bersifat intuitif, bukan diskursif. Sebab berbeda dengan pengetahuan diskursif yang didapat melalui proses penalaran ilmiah, pengetahuan mistisisme merupakan pengetahuan yang didapat melalui laku spiritual sehingga karenanya ia bersifat personal dan partikular.Selain itu, sebagai jalan menuju keintiman dengan yang ilahi, artikel ini memotret bagaimana refleksi mistisisme berlangsung dalam tiga agama semitik, Yahudi, Kristen, dan Islam.
