Works
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. 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.Ibn Barrajan is most famous for his prediction of the conquest of Jerusalem from the Crusaders by Saladin, only being a few days off.
His writings had a great influence on Ibn 'Arabi, who was quite sceptical of ibn Barrajan's methods of prognostication of the Jerusalem conquest, calling them ʿIlm al-Hurūf.
