Hallaj, al-

(born c. 858, Tur, Iran—died March 26, 922, Baghdad, Iraq) Muslim teacher of Sufism. Brought up in the Iraqi city of Wasit, he was drawn to asceticism at an early age and studied with a series of Sufi teachers. From c. 895 he traveled extensively as a teacher and preacher, making three pilgrimages to Mecca and gathering a large following. These travels and his popularity alienated his Sufi masters, and his demands for reform earned him the enmity of non-Sufi Muslims. Accused of fomenting rebellion and claiming to be divine, he was arrested, imprisoned (c. 911–922), and eventually crucified and tortured to death.
