Husam al-Din Chalabi

Husam al-Din Chalabi, Ebn Akhi Tork (Persian: حسام الدین چلبی, Kurdish: حوسامەدین چەلەبی, Turkish: Hüsameddin Çelebi) was a Kurdish Muslim Sufi and a prominent disciple of Rumi.

He encouraged Rumi to create his famous work Masnavi and contributed to writing and editing the book.

[1] His grandfather was a Kurdish[3] Sufi originally from Urmia and buried in Baghdad.

Some have recorded his grandfather's name as Shaykh Taj al-Din Abu al-Wafa.

He remained in this position until his death in 1284 when he was succeeded by Rumi's son Sultan Walad.
