As is known, Ibn 'Arabî departed for the Orient [1] following a vision in AH 597/AD1200. He passed through Tunis and Cairo and made his pilgrimage to Mecca. In601/1204 he found himself in Baghdad and Mosul. From there he travelled towards Anatolia. He stayed in Malatya and in Konya (602/1205) and returned in 603/1206 to Cairo. Then he left (604/1207) and went to Aleppo and Konya (607/1210). Here he probably married the widowed mother of Sadr al-Dîn, and took him (despite his youth) as a disciple to whom he later gave authority to read from his works. In Anatolia he visited the major towns such as Kayseri, Malatya, Sivas and Harran, and returned to Baghdad (608/1211). There he made the acquaintance of Shihâbal-Dîn 'Umar al-Suhrawardî (d. 632/1234). In 610/1213 he was to be found in Aleppo and returned in 611/1214 to Mecca. In 612/ 1215 he was yet again in Anatolia. He spent four years in Malatya (1216 - 20) and gave a number of people authority to read his books. In 620/1223 he moved to Damascus where he settled, wrote the Fusûs and redrafted the Futûhât. https://youtu.be/SbRrc6V5XIc https://dramasurdupk.blogspot.com/?m=1
