‘Alī al-Sarrāj was a great Sufi, sheikh and ascetic born in Tūs( Iran).
Al-Sarrāj was highly active in the early history of Sufi community. He
was the head of the order of dervishes in Baghdad, He is best known
for his popular Kitāb Al-luma' which is considered an encyclopedia of
the Sufism. Abū Naṣr has given much importance in his book to
diction, comprehension, and discussions related to Sufism. The book
al-luma was very successful in being one of the first "authoritative
documentary" and surveys, by first-hand information from thirtynine Sufi authorities on a total of around of tow hundred Sufis. AlSarrāj also sought in the book to demonstrate Sufism's compatibility
with mainstream Sunni Islam. In the light of these facts we can say
that al-luma is one of important book in the Sufism literature.
