Ibrahim ibn Adham
Arab Sufi saint (718–782)
Ibrahim ibn Adham
Ibrahim ibn Adham (Arabic: إبراهيم بن أدهم); also called Ibrahim al-Balkhi and Ebrahim-e Adham (Persian: ابراهیم ادهم); c. 718 – c. 782 / AH c. 100 – c. 165 is one of the most prominent of the early Sufi saints known for his zuhd (asceticism). The story of his conversion is one of the most celebrated in Sufi legend, mentioned in the Tazkirat al-Awliya of Attar of Nishapur. Sufi tradition ascribes to Ibrahim countless acts of righteousness and a humble lifestyle, which contrasted sharply with his early life as the king of Balkh. As recounted by Abu Nu'aym al-Isfahani, Ibrahim emphasized the importance of stillness and meditation for asceticism. Rumi extensively described the legend of Ibrahim in his Masnavi. The most famous of Ibrahim's students is Shaqiq al-Balkhi (d. 810).
