Hazin Lahiji

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hazīn Lāhījī ( Persian حزین لاهیجی Hazin Lahidschi , DMG Hazīn Lāhījī ; * 1692 in Isfahan , Iran ; † 1766 in Benares , India ), is the writer's name of Mohammad Ali ibn Abi Taleb ibn Abd Allah, also known as Mohammad Ali ibn Abi Taleb Hazin Lāhiji, Mohammad ibn Abi Taleb Gilani and Sheikh Mohammad Ali Hazin Lāhiji. He was an Iranian poet and scholar and comes from an important family in Isfahan.

Life

His ancestors were scientists and landowners from Gilan (see the city of Lahidschan ). In 1734 he emigrated to India, where he introduced the Persian culture to the ruling classes. He viewed the Persian of Indian writers with much contempt. Hazin Lāhiji is considered one of the most important scholars of the Safavid era, his knowledge extended to both contemporary theology and the natural sciences; this is attested by his surviving writings.
