his biography
Ibn Arabi was a mystic, poet, and philosopher, born in Murcia, Spain, on the seventeenth of Ramadan (or the twenty-sixth of July, 1165 CE). Ibn Arabi is known to the Sufis as (Sheikh al-Akbar) or Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi, and he is considered one of the saints in Sufism. In the Middle East, he was known as the Greatest Sheikh Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi.
Although he is a follower of the Sunni sect, his writings on the twelve imams are of great importance to the Shiites. There is wide controversy regarding his doctrine of jurisprudence, as some believe that Ibn Arabi belonged to the apparent doctrine.
Ibn Arabi's teachings spread at a tremendous speed across the world. His writings were not restricted to the elite Muslims, but found their way to the lower classes of society as a result of the spread of the Sufi tide. Ibn Arabi's works have also been translated into Persian, Turkish and Urdu (a widely spoken language in Pakistan and India, written in Arabic script). Above it, a large number of poets were followers of the Sufi school, and the ideas of Ibn Arabi were a great inspiration to them.
The family of Ibn Arabi goes back to different and overlapping origins. For example, his father was an Arab, from one of the most famous and prominent Arab tribes, the Tai tribe. As for his mother, she was a Berber who lived in North Africa.
In his writings, Ibn Arabi referred to his deceased uncle Yahya al-Sinhaji (from Sanhaja), as his uncle was wealthy and held the position of governor of the city of Tlemcen, but he left his position to practice mysticism after meeting a mystic sheikh.
Ibn Arabi's father, Ali Ibn Muhammad, served in the army of the governor of Murcia known as Ibn Mardanish. When the latter died in 1172 AD, Ibn Arabi's father turned to the service of the Almohad sultan, Abu Yaqub Yusuf I, and thus he returned to government work, and his family moved with him from Murcia to Seville. There, Ibn Arabi grew up at the ruler's court and received military training. As an adult, he served as secretary to the Governor of Seville. He married a woman named Maryam from one of the prominent families.
