Talk:Shihab al-Din 'Umar al-Suhrawardi

Title should be changed to include 'Shahabuddin'
His name should be mentioned as Shaykh Shahabuddin Abu Hafs Umar al-Suhrawardi. People may be confusing this figure with another figure with a similar name: "Shahāb ad-Dīn" Yahya ibn Habash as-Suhrawardī.

We need to make sure that Shahabuddin is included in the title so that people are not confusing this figure with Shaykh Shahabuddin Abu Hafs Umar al-Suhrawardi. Can someone please change the title as I do not know how to exactly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.51.75.106 (talk) 06:22, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * His contemporary Hadrat Shaykh Shihab al-Din `Umar b. `Abd Allah al-Suhrawardi (1144-1234) kept his head by being a model of orthodox moderation, and enjoyed the patronage of Caliphs and princes. He was the founder of the great Suhrawardiya Sufi order, which still has many adherents today.

... later:


 * The ordered became particularly influential through the work of Abu 'n-Najib's nephew, Shihab ad-din Abu Hafs 'Umar (1145-1234). Shihab ad-din acquired the support of the caliph and attracted sufis from all over the world to hear him teach.'

So yeah, it's the same guy with two different birth dates Flammifer 09:24, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

OK, the 1144 date seems way more common. Flammifer 09:26, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
