Abd al-Qadir ibn Shaqrun’s biography, net worth, fact, career, awards and life story

Ibn Shakrun or Abu Mohammed Abd al-Kadir ibn al-Arabi al-Munabbahi al-Madaghri ibn Shakrun al-Miknasi (died after 1727/28) was a Moroccan physician and poet and contemporary of Moulay Ismael. He wrote a commentary on a book of grammar, works of poetry and an urjuza (verse composition) on dietetics, hygiene and therapies, Al-Urjuza al-Shaqruniyya fi ilm al-tibb known as simply Shakruniyya, which has remained a well-known work in Morocco for considerable time. He is also the author of a risala titled al-Nafha al-wardiyya fi l’-ushba al-kindiyya on sarsaparilla and the treatment of syphilis. He is not to be confused with Abd al-Qadir ibn Shaqrun al-Fasi (died 1801 or 1804), a religious scholar from Fes, who played an active role in the accession of Mulay Slimane as a member of the so-called ahl al-hadith group.
