Shahrastani (English spelling) al-Shahrastānī

A theologian of the Ashari sect of Islam. Born in Khorasan, Iran, he studied theology under Abu Qasim Ansari (?-1118). He traveled widely through the Islamic world and taught at the Nizamiyya Masjid in Baghdad for three years, where he gained a reputation as the foremost scholar of his time. His most famous work, The Book of Sects and Sects, includes descriptions of the history of various sects within Islam, as well as the various schools of philosophy in Christianity, India, and ancient Greece. The book cites many sources that are lost and no longer in existence today, making it a valuable document in comparative religion and the history of Islamic religion.
