Shah Nematollah Vali
Shah Nematollah Vali (1330-1431) was a
Sufi poet and scholar. He was born in Aleppo in what is now Syria,
later traveling to Samarkand and eventually settling in Kerman. During his
travels, he studied with well-known Sufi masters of the time, and later
became well-known as a teacher in his own right. By the time Vali died, his fame had spread from his home in Mahan (where his tomb is located) through Persia and into India. His followers formed the Nematollahi, a Sufi order which still exists today. |
