Ibn 'Arafa
(
Arabic
:
??? ????
), born Mohammed ibn Mohammed ibn Arafa al-Warghammi, in 1316 in
Tunis
and died in 1401 in the same city, was a
Tunisian
Imam
, the most illustrious representative of
Maliki
Islam
to the
Hafsid period
.
[3]
[1]
Of Berber origin from south-eastern Tunisia,
[1]
he had knowledge of
law
, of
grammar
, of
rhetoric
, of
mathematics
, and of
medicine
that enabled him to lead the prestigious
Al-Zaytuna Mosque
and the
University of Ez-Zitouna
for several years.
Staunch defender of Maliki Islam, he did not hesitate to come into direct conflict with several
Sufi
of his time as the
esoteric
and religious practices he witnessed were beyond the precepts of Islam and the understanding of the faithful. He also had conflicts with
Ibn Khaldun
who he suspected had non-religious motives. Khaldun, in turn, accused Ibn Arafa of being jealous of his popularity.
As a theologian, Ibn Arafa was a strict and pure Maliki, and a powerful figure especially in Tunisia. He was also the author of numerous books on law,
theology
, and
logic
. Such books are stored at Zaytuna, in Tunisia.
At his death in 1401, he was buried in Djellaz Cemetery located in the old
medina of Tunis
, which has been preserved as the oldest historical monument of the state.
