AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A MOROCCAN SOUFI: AHMAD IBN ‘AJI

Ibn ‘Ajiba, an 18th-century Moroccan saint in the Darqawi Sufi lineage, wrote his Fahrasa or autobiography not for the pleasure of talking about himself, but “to celebrate God’s Kindness” by informing other of the graces bestowed on him. This account details Ibn ‘Ajiba’s travel in search of both secular and spiritual knowledge, his entrance on a Sufi path strongly based within that such a search entailed. He spend time in prison and time in ecstasy.
