Feared, banned, and whispered about for centuries — The Shams al-Ma'arif is one of the most mysterious and controversial occult texts in Islamic history. In this episode of The Forbidden Library Podcast, we open the pages of this legendary grimoire to explore its origins, purpose, and dangerous reputation. Was it a manual for summoning spirits, unlocking hidden powers, or controlling the unseen world? Why has it been banned across the Islamic world — and why do secretive practitioners still seek it out today? Join us as we uncover the truth behind one of the most forbidden books ever written.
