Archival Overview

Legendary Persian Sufi mystic, poet, and martyr whose ecstatic utterance 'Ana al-Haqq' (I am the Creative Truth) became the ultimate symbol of supreme mystical sacrifice.

Biographical Record

Mansur al-Hallaj (c. 858–922 CE) was a wool-carder's son who traveled extensively through India and Turkestan, preaching unmediated divine love to the common masses in public squares.

Arrested by Abbasid authorities amidst political paranoia in Baghdad, he spent years in prison before being condemned to execution; he died with serenity, forgiving his executioners on the scaffold.
