İbn-i Arabi, sometimes simply called Arabi, is a character in the

Sufi mystic Ibn Arabi
and is considered the most influential character in the series.

Personality

İbn-i Arabi is shown to be a wise old man, who comforts everyone with his soothing words. He is not only wise but is also patient and kind to everyone. The TRT 1 website states about his character; "Andalusian Sufi mystic Ibn Arabi is wise who possesses a spiritual appearance and presence. He is a true friend of God and guides Ertugrul through his religious knowledge."[1]

Storyline

Season 1

Arabi is first shown healing a

Petruccio Manzini who doesn't want Arabi killed yet. Manzini also has his own brother locked up and later killed as he converted to Islam because of Arabi. Claudius nearly kills İbn-i Arabi but he is saved upon the arrival of Ertuğrul and his alps. Claudius escapes but he later actually converts to Islam and becomes one of İbn-i Arabi's dervishes. Later on, Arabi tells Claudius, who is now named Ömer, to work as Ertuğrul's spy in Templar Castle. Ömer becomes influential in Ertuğrul and his father Süleyman Şah's conquest of Templar Castle and killing of Manzini, although Ömer is martyred when his spying is revealed prior to the conquest. After Thomas is sent back to the Pope, the castle is razed and Süleyman Şah dies, the Kayı move to Erzurum
.

Season 2–5 and Kuruluş: Osman

Arabi doesn't make much influence on the second and third season, although he does treat the injured in Geyikli's cave and makes minor appearances from time to time. In season 2, he tells one of his dervishes, Derviş İshaak, to teach the Kayı about Islam and to assist

Prophet Muhammad after his wife died. Arabi dies offscreen between Seasons 4 and 5. Following a chase after a chest in season 5, Ertuğrul gives the chest to Sadreddin Konevî, one of İbn-i Arabi's dervishes. His voice can be heard at the end of season 5 and he is mentioned by Ertuğrul in the sequel series Kuruluş: Osman
.
