Hazrat Shaikh Abu Ismaïl Abdullah al-Herawi al-Ansari or Khajah Abdullah Ansari of Herat (1006–1088) ((ペルシア語:خواجه عبدالله انصاری)) also known as ''Pir-i Herat'' () (sage of Herat) was a famous Persian〔Arthur John Arberry, "Sufism: an account of the mystics of Islam", Courier Dover Publications, 2001. pg 69: "This manual was well regarded in later times; commentaries upon it were written among others by the celebrated Persian mystic Ansari"〕 Sufi〔A. G. Ravân Farhâdi, ʻAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad Anṣārī al-Harawī, "ʻAbdullāh Anṣārī of Herāt (1006-1089 C.E.): an early Ṣūfi master",Routledge, 996.〕 who lived in the 11th century in Herat (then Khorasan, now Herat province, Afghanistan). One of the outstanding figures in Khorasan in the 5th/11th century: commentator of the Qu'ran, traditionist, polemicist, and spiritual master, known for his oratory and poetic talents in Arabic and Persian.〔 ==Life== He was born in the Kohandez,〔S. de Laugier de Beaureceuil, "Abdullah Ansari" in Encylcoapedia Iranica ()〕 the old citadel of Herat, on 4 May 1006. His father Abu Mansur, was a shopkeeper who had spent several years of his youth at Balkh.〔 Abdullah was the disciple of Shaikh Abul Hassan Kharaqani, for whom he had deep respect and faith, as he has said: "Abdullah was a hidden treasure, and its key was in the hands of Abul Hassan Kharaqani." He practiced the Hanbali fiqh, one of the four Sunni schools of law or jurisprudence. His shrine, built during the Timurid Dynasty, is a popular pilgrimage site. He wrote several books on Islamic mysticism and philosophy in Persian and Arabic. His most famous work is "Munajat Namah" (literally 'Litanies or dialogues with God'), which is considered a masterpiece of Persian literature. After his death, many of his sayings that had been transmitted by his students along with others that were in his written works were included in the Tafsir of Maybudi, "Kashf al-Asrar" (The Unveiling of Secrets). This is among the earliest complete Sufi Tafsirs of Quran and has been published several times in 10 volumes. He excelled in the knowledge of ''Hadith'', history, and ''Ilm ul-Ansaab''. He used to avoid the company of the rich, powerful and the influential. His yearly ''majlis-e-wa'az'' was attended by people from far and wide. Whatever his disciples and followers used to present to him was handed over to the poor and the needy. He is said to have had a very impressive personality, and used to dress gracefully. Khwajah Abdullah Ansari of Herat was a direct descendant of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, and was the ninth in line from him. The lineage is described, and traced in the family history records,〔''The Ulama of Farangi Mahall and Islamic Culture in South Asia'', Francis Robinson, Ferozsons (pvt) Limited, Pakistan. 2002〕 as follows; Abu Ismail Khajeh Abdollah Ansari, ''son of'' Abu Mansoor Balkhi, ''son of'' Jaafar, ''son of'' Abu Mu'aaz, ''son of'' Muhammad, ''son of'' Ahmad, ''son of'' Jaafar, ''son of'' Abu Mansoor al-Taabi'i, ''son of'' Abu Ayyub al-Ansari. In the reign of the third Caliph amongst the ''Khulafaa-e-Rashideen'' of Islam, Uthman ibn Affan, Abu Mansoor al-Taabi'i took part in the conquest of Khorasan, and subsequently settled in Herat, his descendant Khwajah Abdullah Ansari died there in 1088. The Hanbali jurist Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya wrote a lengthy commentary on a treatise written by Ansari entitled Madarij al-Salikin.〔Livnat Holtzman, Essay on Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, p. 219 (http://www.academia.edu/1057824/Ibn_Qayyim_al-Jawziyya) and Livnat Holtzman, Essay on Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, p. 363 (https://www.academia.edu/1070946/Ibn_Qayyim_al-Jawziyya)〕 He expressed his love and appreciation for Ansari in this commentary with his statement ''"Certainly I love the Sheikh, but I love the truth more!. 〔Michael Fitzgerald and Moulay Slitine, The Invocation of God, Islamic Texts Society, Introduction, p 4 (quoting Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, Madarij al-Salikin fi ma bayna iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in, ed.
