Ibn Sab'īn (Arabic: محمدبن عبدالحق بن سبعين ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq b. Sabʿīn al-Mursī) was an Arab[1][2] Sufi philosopher, the last[citation needed] philosopher of the Andalus in the west land of Islamic world. He was born in 1217 in Spain and lived in Ceuta. He was known for his replies to questions sent to him by Frederick II, ruler of Sicily. He died in 1271 in Mecca. He was also known for his knowledge of the "hidden sciences" and was well versed in knowledge of Islam and of other religions.[3]
His school is a combination of philosophical and Gnostic thoughts.
He was recognized by Michele Amari[4] as the author, among others, of the responses to the famous Sicilian Questions of Frederick II of Hohenstaufen.[5]
