Belief
Protean, my heart henceforth assumes all forms: at once
Meadow of gazelles and cloister of the Christians monk
Temple of idols and the pilgrim's Kaaba
The Thora's tablets tantamount
To the Holy Koran's leaves
Religion of love, my allegiance
Wherever its caravans may lead
Just as love is my final faith
Ibn Arabi
Ibn 'Arabī (Arabic: ابن عربي) (July 28, 1165 – November 10, 1240) was an Andalusian [Moorish]] Sufimystic and philosopher. His full name was Abū 'Abdullāh Muḥammad ibn 'Alī ibn Muḥammad ibn al-`Arabī ('أبو عبد الله محمد بن علي بن محمد بن عربي ).
Born in the Spanish township of Murcia on 17th of Ramaḍān 561 AH (27th or 28 July 1165 AD) with respectable family roots, this unique MOORISH mystic, Muḥammad ibn 'Alī ibn Muḥammad ibn al-'Arabī is universally known as al-Shaykh al-Akbar (The Greatest Master OT DOCTORUS MAXIMUS in medieval europe). According to some other sources, his birthday was cited as 27th of Ramadan 560 (AH) or in other words August 7, 1165.
