Ensemble Ibn Arabi is a Morocco‑based music group founded in Tangier in 1988 and named after the great Andalusian Sufi mystic and poet Muhyī al‑Dīn Ibn ʿArabī. Their repertoire revives the classical Arab‑Andalusian Sufi tradition—blending plaintive nay (end‑blown flute), ʿūd, violin, bendir and tanbūr—with devotional poetry by great Sufi figures such as Rabia al‑Adawiyya and Mansur al‑Hallaj. What sets them apart is a commitment to conveying the orthodox Sufi message—love <a href="https://www.la

Quotes

  • “Every self-manifestation bestows a new creation and removes a pre-ceding creation. Its removal is the essence of annihilation (fanaa) in the passing self-manifestation and subsistence (baqaa) in the bestowal of the following self-manifestation.”
  • “I take love as my religion wherever its caravans lead, for love is my religion and my faith.”
  • “His is the wisdom of singularity because he is the most perfect existent in the human species. That is why the whole affair began with him and is sealed with him. For he was a prophet while Adam was between water and clay. Then, in his elemental configuration, he was the Seal of the Prophets. And three is the first of the singulars. Every singular beyond one derives from it.”

Encyclopedic overview

Ibn 'Arabī (July 1165–November 1240) was a Sunni Muslim Arab scholar, Sufi mystic, poet, and Muslim philosopher from al-Andalus, who exercised notable influence within Sufi metaphysics and Islamic thought in general. There are 850 works attributed to Ibn 'Arabi, though only 700 of these are considered authentic, and only 400 are extant. His cosmological teachings became a dominant intellectual framework in many regions of the Muslim world.

His traditional title was Muḥyiddīn (Arabic: محيي الدين, lit. 'The Reviver of Religion'). After his death, practitioners of Sufism began referring to him by the honorific title Shaykh al-Akbar (Arabic: الشيخ الأكبر, lit. 'The Greatest Shaykh'), from which the term Akbarism is derived.
