Abstract

Mu?y al-D?n Ibn ‘Arabi (1165-1240) is one of the greatest exponents of the history of Sufism and Islamic thought. His influence as a mystic and Islamic scholar continues to nowadays as this research tries to show through the analysis of the doctrines and practices of the ?ar?qa Tij?niyya beyond colonial and orientalist prejudices. A Sufi path, actually the largest in the world, which is a good example of contemporary Sufism balancing metaphysics (?aq?qa) with the exoteric Islamic law (shar?a). This article explores thematically, for the first time and using a multidisciplinary methodology, the main influences of Akbarian thought on Tij?ni intellectual history and its impact on the main authors.
