Biographical notes

Born in 573 AH [1177 CE] in the city of Ray (Iran), Najm al-Dīn Rāzī was a Sufi master belonging to the Kubrawiyya order that became highly influential in Iran, Anatolia and Central Asia from the 14th century [1300-1399 CE] onwards. According to Hamid Algar, he was a Sunni follower of the Ash'arite theology but advocating for the necessity of having a mentor (pīr, shaikh) and the proper regard for the rules and rites of Sufi hospices (khānqah). In 1202 [1202 CE], he left his hometown to travel in Egypt, Syria and Khurāsān (Iran), where he met Najm al-Din Kubrā, d. 1221, who in turn assigned him to one of his disciples Majd al-Dīn Baghdādī, d. 1204. He returned to western Iran a few years later before, apparently forced by the advance of the first Mongol Invasion of Khurāsān (Iran), travelling around 1221 [1221 CE] to Central Anatolia via Hamadān, Irbīl and Diyarbakır, to settled initially in the city of Kayseri. In Seljuq Anatolia he met some of the prominent Sufi scholars of the period. He had encounters with Shihāb al-Dīn Abū Ḥafṣ ʿUmar Suhrawardī, Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī, Ṣadr al-Dīn Qūnawī and Awḥad al-Dīn Kirmānī. While in Anatolia he sought patronage at the Seljuq court and composed the Mirṣād al-ʻibād, one recension of which he dedicated to Sultan Kayqubad I (see (Rāzī, Najm al-Dīn. The path of God's bondsmen from origin to return = (Merṣād al-ʻebād men al-mabdāʼ elāʼl-maʻād): a Sufi compendium. Translated by Algar, Hamid. Delmar, N.Y.: Caravan Books, 1982., pp. pp. 12-13)). Despite the monetary gains and favour received from the Sultan, Najm al-Dīn Rāzī did not stay at the Seljuq court in Konya but resided a few years in Erzincan before leaving Anatolia for good in 1225 [1225 CE]. He spent some time in Tabriz, where he met the Jalāl al-Dīn, Shah of Khorezm, -1231 and then moved to Baghdad, where he lived until his death in 1256 [1256 CE].
