assalamu alaykum!



I was just browsing through some of Sidi Wadood's posts when it occured to me that a disproportionately high number of the greatest scholars and saints in our history have been of Persian origin. Here are a few who come immediately to mind without thinking and I am in a rush:



Hazrat Salman al Farsi :ra:

Imam Abu Hanifa :ra:

Ghawth al AZam Shaykh Abd al Qadir al Jilani :ra:

Imam Ghazzali :ra:

Mawlana Rumi :ra:

Hafiz Shirazi :ra:

Shaykh Sa'di :ra:

Hazrat Jami :ra:

Shaykh Ruzbihan Baqli :ra:

Husayn ibn Mansur al Hallaj :ra:

Shams al Din Tabrizi :ra:

Umar Khayyam :ra:

Ibn Sina :ra:

Khwaja Gharib Nawaz :ra:

Ali ibn Usman al Hijwiri Data Ganj Bakhsh :ra:

...

and I am sure others can think of many others! Please add to the list!
