Abdul Baqi Miftah

Sheikh Abdul Bāqi Miftāh () is a Sunni Islamic scholar of Sufism from Guemar, Algeria. He is known for his writings on Ibn al-Arabi.
Life and education.
He graduated from college in 1975 and did national service for two years. Then he joined the Education Corps as a teacher of math and science until he retired. He used to isolate himself away from the city out in the sand dunes in serenity, busying himself with dhikr, contemplation, reciting the Qur'an, and writing. Dr. Abdellilah Benarafa, an expert at ISESCO, said he knew him since the 1990s when he was taking classes on ibn al-Arabi at Paris-Sorbonne University, stating "I am not exaggerating at all by saying that Abdul Baqi Miftah is one of the greatest specialists in the works of ibn al-Arabi."
He took a path of Sufism in 1973 under Mohamed Belkaid al-Habry, sheikh of the Habriyyah, Darqawwiyah, and Shadiliyyah tariqa. His sheikh advised him to open a zawiya in Guemar, which was completed in 1988 after it was constructed by a group of murids.
Works.
Sheikh Abdul Baqi Miftah has written at least 47 books.
