Abu Mohammed Abd el-Hakh Ibn Sabin (Arabic: محمدبن عبدالحق بن سبعين) was a Sufi philosopher, the last 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 1269 in Mecca. He was also known for his knowledge of religions (Judaism, Christianity but even Hinduism and Zoroastrism) and the "hidden sciences."[1]
His school is a combination of philosophical and Gnostic thoughts.
He was recognized by Michele Amari[2] as the author, among others, of the responses to the famous Sicilian Questions of Frederick II of Hohenstaufen.[3]
