Analytical Study of Sohrewardi Dynasty

Sohrewardiyeh is one of the important dynasties of Sufism about which no proper and independent research has been done so far. In this research, we have studied this school of thought with a descriptive-analytical method.This Sharia-based sect, whose most influential sheikh is Shahab al-Din Omar Sohrewardi, was formed in Baghdad, and due to factors such as the training of great disciples, the emphasis of some elders on the migration of disciples, the cooperation of governments, and the emphasis on Sharia, in a short time penetrated many places, including India, Persia, and Kashan. After Shahab al-Din and Bahaullah al-Moltani, Sohrewardiyeh split into numerous factions and merged with Qalandar, as well as Shiism, and was weakened because of various reasons such as the tendency of some elders to Qalandar and the migration of many of them from Baghdad.
