Who was Ibn Arabi?
“Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibnʿArabī al-Ḥātimī aṭ-Ṭāʾī” was the finished name of Ibn Arabi , who was an uncommon Sufi mystic, Philosopher, Poet, and a Scholar. He influenced the Muslim world with his wonderful works numbered around 800 out of which 100 are yet present in its one of a kind sythesis.
Ibn Arabi was imagined on 26th July 1165 CE in Murcia, Al-Andalus (Spain). Ibn Arabi was seen as a sacred individual and besides celebrated with the names “Shaykh al-Akbar (the Greatest Master)” and “Muhyiddin (the Revivifier of Religion)”. The Middle-East knows him with the name Shaikh-e-Akbar Mohi-ud-Din Ibn-e-Arabi. Ibn Arabi had a spot with an Arabian Tribe named Tai’i (Tayy). His mother was a North African Berber.
The father of Ibn Arabi “Ali ibn Muḥammad” was an organization laborer under the norm of Muhammad ibn Sa’id ibn Mardanish, who was the head of Murcia around at that point. After the death of ibn Sa’id in 1172 CE, his father moved his organizations to Almohad Sultan Abū Ya’qūb Yūsuf I and he moved to Seville close by his family. It was the place where Ibn Arabi went through close to 30 years. It was similarly as a choice court. He was also given military getting ready there. He dared to all aspects of the whole Spain and Africa searching for phenomenal mystic specialists to get data.
During these years, whenever he got a chance to meet with the exceptional Aristotelian scholar Ibn Rushd (Averroës; 1126–98) in Córdoba. In all actuality, this social event was coordinated by his father who was a dear ally to Ibn Rushd. It was the occasion that Ibn Arabi started zeroing in on the significant manner and dedicated his life to Sufism. It has in like manner been represented that Ibn Rushd was massively overwhelmed by his mystic significance. Subsequently, Ibn Arabi moved to Morocco in the city of Fez where Mohammed ibn Qasim al-Tamimi turned into his supernatural mentor.
In 1198 CE, he left Murcia and started his visit towards East. In particular he began his excursion to Mecca (Hajj) in 1201 CE after which he started his critical work “Al-Futūḥāt al-Makkiyyah (The Meccan Revelations)” which was appropriated much later in Damascus. It is included experiences of Ibn Arabi about esoteric sciences in Islam and moreover the information about his life. He went through practically three years in Mecca. During that period, Ibn Arabi similarly acquainted with a youngster of unbelievable greatness. He eternalized her memories in a variety of poems “Tarjumān al-ashwāq; (The Interpreter of Desires)”. Thusly, he similarly expected to experience conflicts.
Around a similar time 1201 CE, he by then moved to Egypt and a short time later to Anatolia where he met with Ṣadr al-Dīn al-Qūnawī in Konya. Al-Qūnawī transformed into his substitution in the East. Additionally, resulting to visiting Baghdad and Aleppo, Ibn Arabi showed up at Damascus and a long excursion arrived at a resolution in 1223 CE anyway this left suffering qualification spread all through the Islamic World. Starting now and into the foreseeable future, he burned-through his lingering time on earth in Damascus while teaching and making. Additionally, those were the days when his another most huge work in charmed perspective “Fuṣūṣ al-ḥikam (The Bezels of Wisdom)” was shaped in 1229 CE. “Fuṣūṣ al-ḥikam” has furthermore been translated in Urdu by the Ibn Arabi Foundation in Pakistan in 2015 CE.

“In case the disciple grasped the meaning of the saying ‘the shade of the water is the shade of the archive’, he would surrender the authenticity taking everything into account and he would see ALLAH in each construction and each object of certainty.” (Ibn ‘Arabi, Fusûs al-Hikam)
Did Ibn Arabi meet with Ertugrul Ghazi?
If we explore the recorded setting of Ibn Arabi, it ends up being far-fetched that he truly met with Ertugrul Ghazi of the Kayi group. As I recently referred to, Ṣadr al-Dīn al-Qūnawī was a critical substitution of Ibn Arabi, hence it shows up Ibn Arabi expected about the new domain as the Seljuk Empire planned to end. He also examined a youth who will develop a domain which will continue to go for an extensive time allotment and besides will fulfill the hadith of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) about the triumph of Constantinople. That is become the clarification, the Ottoman Empire saw themselves obtained by the underlying revelations of the Shaykh al-Akbar Ibn Arabi and they in like manner got his exercises and orders. Furthermore, ALLAH knows the best.
