Ibn Barrajan

Ibn Barrajan wrote a two-volume commentary on the names of God in Islam and two famous tafsirs, ʾīḍāḥ al-ḥikma "Wisdom Deciphered the Unseen Discovered", which exists in a critical edition.

[2][3] and Tanbih al-Afham Ila Tadabbur al-Kitab al-Hakim wa Ta'arruf al-Ayat wa-l-Naba al-'Athim, which is currently in print in three editions.

[4][5][6] Ibn Barrajan is most famous for his prediction of the conquest of Jerusalem from the Crusaders by Saladin, only being a few days off.

[9] He died in prison in Marrakesh, when he was summoned to that city by the Almoravid sultan Ali ibn Yusuf, who feared his influence.

[10] Against the wishes of the sultan he received an official burial on the initiative of Ali ibn Harzihim.
