- Biographical notes
- One of the most influential and prolific Sufi thinkers of medieval times, Ibn al-ʿArabī was born in the Spanish region of Murcia on 27 Ramaḍān 560 [1165 CE]. He moved to Seville when he was eight years old and began his formal education in that city. From a young age, Ibn al-ʿArabī became part of the local government, acting as kātib to various governors. It is related that during an illness, he had a vision that made him realise that he has been leaving in ignorance (Jāhiliyya) until that moment and had a mystical awakening that would mark the rest of his life. In search of mystical knowledge, he sought the company of different Sufi Shaykhs, travelling for the next 10 years across the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa. He stayed for some time in Tunis, Fez, Cordova where he began to write some of his early works before going to Cairo and then to Jerusalem around the year 598 AH [1202 CE] from where he began his pilgrimage to Mecca. While om ḥajj, he met Majd al-Dīn Isḥāq (the father of Ṣadr al-Dīn al-Qūnawī) and a group of Sufis and Ibn Arabi decided to join them in their trip back to Syria and Anatolia. He arrived in Malatya around 601 AH [1205 CE], at a time when ʿIzz al-Dīn Kaykāvūs I has been restored as the Sultan of Rum. Majd al-Dīn Isḥāq was invited by the Sultan to the court, where he came accompanied by Ibn al-ʿArabī, who offered advice to the Sultan and both were honoured at the court. Ibn al-ʿArabī resumed his travels again, leaving Anatolia to visit Baghdad and Aleppo and return to Anatolia around 1215 [1215 CE] when he completed the commentary to his Tarjumān al-as̲h̲wāq in between Aksaray and Sivas and then settled for some time in Malatya where he married and have a son. At some point before 1230 [1230 CE], he left Anatolia and re-settled in Damascus under the protection of the Ibn Zakī family of qāḍīs and the Ayyubid court. He died in 1240 [1240 CE] and his body was buried in the mount Qāsiyūn, north of Damascus. Ibn al-ʿArabī is one of the most influential Sufi authors in Anatolia especially die to the diffusion of his idea made by his disciple Ṣadr al-Dīn al-Qūnawī. Other commentators on Ibn al-ʿArabī’s works such as Dāwūd al-Ḳayṣarī (d. 751/1350) or Ḳuṭb al-Dīn al-Izniḳī also helped to spread his philosophy in the region.
