Junayd Baghdadi

Junayd Baghdadi

Junayd ibn Muhammad Abu al-Qasim al-Khazzaz al-Baghdadi (830-910 AD) was one of the great early mystics, or Sufis, of Islam. He accompanied his maternal uncle Sari al-Saqati, al-Harith al-Muhasibi, and others. [ [http://www.abc.se/~m9783/n/jun_e.html Al-Junayd al-Baghdadi] ]

(Not to be confused with the 15th century Persian Sufi shaykh called Junayd (son of Ibrahim) who was the grandfather of Ismail I, the first shiite shah of the Safavid dynasty. See: Safavid dynasty)

He laid the groundwork for "sober" mysticism in contrast to that of "God-intoxicated" Sufis like al-Hallaj, Bayazid Bastami and Abusaeid Abolkheir. In the process of trial of al-Hallaj, his former disciple, Caliph of the time demanded his fatwa and he issued this fatwa: "From the outward appearance he is to die and we judge according to the outward appearance and God knows better".

He is referred to by the sufis as "sayyid-ut taifa" i.e. the leader of the group. He lived and died in the city of Baghdad.
