Abū Isḥāq al-Ilbīrī al-Tujībī (d. AH 459 / 1067 CE) was a poet and scholar of Islam from Granada, Andalusia. His lineage tracesback to the Yemeni tribe of Banī Tujīb.
While most of his poetry is didactic-concerning itself with aphorisms related to asceticism and seeking sacred knowledge-al-Ilbīrī was not blind to the political problems of Andalusia at the time. He wrote a poem addressed to the Sanhaja Berbers of Granada that led to the execution of the city’s Jewish vizier after the poet’s exile to Elviria (Ilbīra), a Mediterranean coastal town whose name he bears.
Among his most famous poems is his tāʾīya (a poem rhyming with the Arabic letter tāʾ [ت]) in which he addresses a young man by the name of Abū Bakr on the paltriness of this world and the lofty rank of sacred knowledge in this world and the next. Al-Ilbīrī’s poem is not a haughty, judgmental work: in it, he admits that he is worse of than Abū Bakr and more in need of counsel, but he reminds Abū Bakr that he is still young and unstained by a life of heedlessness and sin.
