Ibn al-'Arabi

Ibn al-'Arabi (1165–1240)

Andalusian-born mystic and teacher who settled in Damascus. To Ibn 'Arabi love was more important than knowledge, a theory that is totally rejected by traditional Muslim lawyers. A prolific writer, he combined inner devotion with an analytical mind, concluding the unity of faiths despite their apparent divergency. He wrote an estimated 400 books and treatises, including al-Futuhat al-Makiyya/The Makkan Inspirations.
