Abstract
The “Menkabetu Mevlidi’n-Nebî” Mawlid of Muhyiddin İbnu’l-Arabî and its Literary Criticism
İbnu’l-Arabî is a sophisticated scholar who grew up in a great cultural environment in
terms of both his family and social life, and a great sufi. He addressed almost every issue
of human life in over 500 works he wrote.
In this article, we studied critical text of “Menkabetu Mevlidi’n-Nebî”, one of the two
mawlids İbnu’l-Arabî wrote. After mentioning about the famous scholar’s life, we tried
to reveal his literary identity and the style he adopted in his poetry. Giving information
about the Mawlid tradition in Arabic Literature and the copies of İbnu’l-Arabî’s mawlid,
we criticised the edition of mawlid text.
