One of the Ottoman scholars in the sixteenth century who opposed the view of the famous Sufi Muḥyī al-Dīn ibn ʿArabī was Chiwizāda Muḥyī al-Dīn Sheikh Meḥmed Efendī (d. 954/1547). He served as sheikh al-islām in the reign of Sulaymān the Magnificent for a short time. He stood out for his criticisms against some Sufis of his time and was even dismissed from the rank of sheikh al-islām because of these criticisms, according to some reports. In this paper, I will examine Chiwizāda ́s criticisms of Muḥyī al-Dīn ibn ʿArabī, who was at the top of the Sufis he opposed, in terms of their historical-intellectual roots
