?Abd al-Razzaq b.
?Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani (c.
Dhu al-Qi'dah 528 AH – 6 Shawwal 603 AH/9 September 1134 – 7 May 1207), also known as Abu Bakr al-Jili or ?Abd al-Razzaq al-Jilani (often simplified as Abdul-Razzaq Gilani) for short, or reverentially as Shaykh ?Abd al-Razzaq al-Jilani by Sunni Muslims, was a Persian Sunni Muslim Hanbali theologian, jurist, traditionist, and Sufi mystic based in Baghdad.
As the son and spiritual heir of the renowned jurist and mystic Abdul-Qadir Gilani (d.
1166), the founder of the Qadiriyya order of Sunni mysticism, Abdul-Razzaq Gilani received his initial training in all the traditional Islamic sciences under his forebear, prior to setting out "on his own to attend the lectures of other prominent Hanbali scholars" in his region.
Abdul-Razzaq is sometimes given the Arabic honorary epithet Taj al-Din (Crown of the Religion) in Sunni tradition, due to his reputation as an outstanding jurisconsult and mystic of the Hanbali school.
