Ibn Arabi was a noted Muslim Andalusian Islamic



Ibn Arabi was a noted Muslim Andalusian Islamic scholar, theologian, philosopher, Sufi, and poet. He was born in Murcia, Spain.

Known as Muhiy al-Din (reviver of the faith) and Sheikh al-Akbar (the greatest Sheikh), Ibn Arabi provided an understanding of Islam from its most literal to its most profound meaning. His influence upon later generations of spiritual masters can be seen in countries as far apart as Spain and Indonesia.

A prolific writer, he wrote Fusus al-Hikam (the bezels of wisdom), an exposition of the inner meaning of the wisdom of the prophets in the Judaic / Christian / Islamic line, and the Futuhat al-Makkiyya (Meccan Revelations), a vast encyclopedia of spiritual knowledge which unites and distinguishes the three strands of tradition, reason and mystical insight.

Ibn al-Arabi’s works on Cosmology have been recognized throughout the world. He is said to have written a total of 850 works, out of which 700 are considered to be the authentic ones while over 400 are still extant.
