abstract = "Abū Saʿīd Sharaf b. al-Muʾayyad b. Abī l-Fatḥ al-Baghdādī (565–616/1170–1219), known as Majd al-Dīn al-Baghdādī, was a Ṣūfī shaykh (master). He was an important figure in the Kubrawī school of Ṣūfism (originated in the sixth/twelfth century with Najm al-Dīn Kubrā, d. 618/1221), which produced many influential Ṣūfīs in Iran and Central Asia and functioned as an order until the eleventh/seventeenth century. Al-Baghdādī issued ijāzas (licences) to transmit and teach Ṣūfism to some of the most prominent Kubrawīs.",
