Biographical notes

This early Ottoman Ḥanafī scholar was known for his popular works on Islam which attempt to harmonize Sufism with more legalistic forms of religious practice. He studied with prominent early Ottoman religious scholars such as Molla Fenāri and Niksārī Ḥasan Paşa, as well as spent some time studying in Cairo. He likewise was associated with the Sufi shaykh, Eşrefoğlu Rūmī. In regard to matters of ʿaqāʾid (religious creed), İznīḳī’s works reveal a particular Māturidī perspective, and especially that of Abū’l-Muʿīn al-Nasafī's influential creed, ʿAqāʾid. Close to Ottoman political circles, Ḳuṭbeddīn el-İznīḳī served as an envoy to Timur, 1336-1405 on behalf of İsa Çelebi, following Timur’s defeat of his father Bayezid I in 804 AH [1402 CE].
