Ibn Abbad al-Rundi (
Arabic: ابن عباد الرندي) (in full, Abu 'abd Allah Muhammad Ibn Abi Ishaq Ibrahim An-nafzi Al-himyari Ar-rundi) (1333–1390) was one of the leading
Sufitheologians of his time who was born in
Ronda. Attracted to
Morocco by the famous
madrasahs, Ibn Abbad emigrated there at an early age. He spent most of his life in
Morocco, living in different cities (
Salé, Marrakesh, Fes...), and was buried in Bab al-Futuh (south-eastern gate) cemetery in
Fes.
