‘Abd al-Wahhab b. Aḥmad Sharani (898-973/1492-1565) is to be considered as one of the most important advocates of Muḥyial-Din Ibn ‘Arabi (560-638/1164-1240). He has written significant books in defense of and under the inspiration of Ibn ‘Arabi, the most important of which that can be mentioned are Al-Yawaqit wa al-Jawahir, Al-Kibrit al-Aḥmar, and Al-Qawaid al-Kashfiyya. It is worth mentioning that, with respect to his sharia-oriented Sufi background, Sharani has turned to Ibn ‘Arabi’s views in the above works and regarded what has seemed to him to be contrary to shari (religious law), as intrigues by Ibn ‘Arabi’s enemies and exonerated him of them. In some cases, he has rightly exonerated Ibn ‘Arabi of such ideas as incarnation, the unity and monotheism of Satan, and superiority of Wilaya over Prophethood; but he has not been able to sufficiently exonerate him from unity of existence, belief in the eternity (khulud) of the faithless, and Pharaoh’s faith. However, by defending him, he has prevented from his calumny and excommunication by his hostile opponents.
