Others In terms of Ihsan: Mawlana Khâlid Sharazuri also known as Khâlid-i Baghdâdî and Mawlana Khalid[1][2] (Kurdish: مەولانا خالیدی نەقشبەندی, romanized: Mewlana Xalîdî Neqişbendî; 1779–1827) was a Kurdish Sufi,[3] and poet by the name of Shaykh Diya al-Dīn Khalid al-Shahrazuri,[4] the founder of a branch of the Naqshbandi Sufi order - called Khalidi after him - that has had a profound impact not only on his native Kurdish lands but also on many other regions of the western Islamic world.
[2][6] Shahrazuri acquired the epithet Baghdadi through his frequent stays in Baghdad, for it was in the town of Karadağ (Qaradagh) in the Shahrizur region,[7] about 5 miles from Sulaymaniyah, that he was born in 1779.
He was born in the year 1779 in the village of Karadağ, near the city of Sulaymaniyah, in what is now Iraqi Kurdistan.
He was raised and trained in Sulaymaniyah, where there were many schools and many mosques and which was considered the primary educational city of his time.
Young Khalid studied with the two great scholars of his time, Shaykh `Abdul Karam al-Barzinji and Shaykh `Abdur Rahim al-Barzinji, and he read with Mullah Muhammad `Ali.
