Junayd Baghdadi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Junaid ibn Muhammad Abu al-Qasim al-Khazzaz al-Baghdadi(830-910) (d.298 AH was one of the great early mystics, or Sufis, of Islam.
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.
