Life of Mansur al-Hallaj (Urdu) [Seerat e Mansur Hallaj]

The most controversial figure in the history of Islamic mysticism, Abu ‘l-Moghith al-Hosain ibn Mansur al-Hallaj was born C. 244 (858) near al-Baiza’ in the province of Fars. He travelled very widely, first to Tostar and Baghdad, then to Mecca, and afterwards to Khuzestan, Khorasan, Transoxiana, Sistan, India and Turkestan. Eventually, he returned to Baghdad, where his bold preaching of union with God caused him to be arrested on a charge of incarnations. He was condemned to death and cruelly executed on 29 Dhu ‘l-Qa’da 309 (28 March 9I3). Author of a number of books and a considerable volume of poetry, he passed into Muslim legend as the prototype of the intoxicated lover of God. Life of  Mansur al-Hallaj (Urdu) [Seerat e Mansur Hallaj]
