IBN UL ARABI

 

Friends,   Ibn Arabi, an important and spiritual figure shown in Ertughal Ghazi We know from the study of history who they were, what role they played in the establishment of the Ottoman Empire and what was the relationship of Ertugrul Ghazi with them.  His name in history is Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Ali .He is renowned by the name al-Shaykh al-Akbar Muḥyiddin ibn Arabi His date of birth is stated in 1165CE in Murcia, a city in Spain Let me tell you that the old name of Spain was Andalusia which was conquered in 711CE by the Muslim conqueror Tariq bin Ziyad. And the Muslims ruled Spain with great splendor for about seven hundred and eighty years until 1492 AD friends Ibn Arabi is born in Andalusia and is said to belong to the Arab tribe Tai Ibn Arabi was a great Sufi mystic, poet, and philosopher , He rendered extraordinary services to the Islamic world he moved to Seville along with his family in 1172 CE .This was the place where Ibn al-Arabi spent 30 years and received his early religious education He traveled the whole Spain and Africa in search of great mystic masters to gain knowledge .At the same time, his meeting with Ibn al-Rashd, a great philosopher, is mentioned This is the time when he dedicated his life to Islam and later migrated to Morocco In 1198 CE, he left Morocco and started his tour towards East. First of all he began his pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj) in 1201 CE. He spent almost three years in Mecca after that he moved to Egypt and then to Anatolia where he met with Ṣadr al-Dīn al-Qūnawī in Konya. Al-Qūnawī became his successor in the East In the same way, after visiting Baghdad and Aleppo, Ibn Arabi reached Damascus and a long pilgrimage came to an end in 1223 CE . After that, he spent his remaining life in Damascus while teaching and writing At that time, his fame had spread throughout the Islamic world Ibn Arabi died in 1240 CE and buried in Damascus, Syria. Now the question is whether Ibn al-Arabi will ever meet Ertugrul Ghazi If we explore the history of Ibn Arabi, it becomes very unlikely that he actually met with Ertugrul Ghazi Because Ibn Arabi had settled in Damascus in 1223 AD, while ertugrul was migrating from khorzem to Anatolia at that time. Ertughal Ghazi's father died in 1236 after drowning in the Euphrates River After which his tribe was divided and he became the chief of his tribe As I already mentioned, Ṣadr al-Dīn al-Qūnawī was an important successor of Ibn Arabi thus it seems Ibn Arabi predicted about the new empire . He also talked about a young man who will establish an empire which will last for centuries and also will fulfill the hadith of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) about the conquest of Constantinople That’s become the reason, the Ottoman Empire saw themselves inherited by the opening revelations of the Shaykh al-Akbar Ibn Arabi and they also adopted his teachings and orders
