Fakhr ud din al-Khurasani was a young man who is known for his efforts in collecting and preserving the works of the famous Sufi scholar, Muhiuddin Ibn al-Arabi. In the year 810 AH, he traveled to Makkah and requested Ibn al-Arabi’s books, but was told that they were not available there. However, he was informed that there was a Sufi in the Yemeni city of Zubaid who had an excellent collection of Ibn al-Arabi’s books.

Fakhr ud din al-Khurasani then traveled to Zubaid and stayed at the Madrassa al-Mizjajia. There, he was able to copy the entire collection of Ibn al-Arabi’s works in the year 814 Hijri. His collection later made its way to Sindh and is now available at the Pir Pagaro Library.

Fakhr ud din al-Khurasani’s efforts in preserving the works of Ibn al-Arabi have been recognized as an important contribution to the study of Sufism and
