'''Junayd of Baghdad''' ({{Lang-fa|جُنیدِ بَغدادی}};
Junayd taught in [[Baghdad]] throughout his lifetime and was an important figure in the development of Sufi doctrine. Like [[Hasan of Basra]] before him, was widely revered by his students and disciples as well as quoted by other mystics. Because of his importance in Sufi [[theology]], Junayd was often referred to as the "[[Sultan]]

==Hagiography==
As to the [[hagiography]] by [[Attar of Nishapur]], the ''[[Tazkirat al-Awliya]]'', had felt the pain of divine separation since childhood. Regardless of spiritual sorrow, he was known for his quick understanding and discipline
According to Attar, Junayd was only seven years of age when Sirri Saqti took him along for the [[Hajj]]. In [[al-Masjid an-Nabawi]], there were 400 [[sheikh]]s discussing the concept of ‘thankfulness’ whereby each expounded his own view. When Sirri Saqti told him to present his definition, Junayd said, "Thankfulness means that should not disobey God by means of the favour which he has bestowed upon you nor make of His favour a source of disobedience." The sheikhs unanimously agreed that no other words could define the term better. Sirri Saqti asked Junayd from where he could learn all this. Junayd replied, "From sitting with you."<ref name="London, England 1990">[[Tazkirat al-Awliya]], [[Attar of Nishapur]].

His traditional hagiography continues by stating that Junayd went back to Baghdad and took up selling glasses. However, he spent most of the time in prayer. Hence, he retired to the porch of Sirri Saqti's house and kept himself away from worldly matters, devoting his thoughts only to God. People need to "relinquish natural desires, to wipe out human attributes, to discard selfish motives, to cultivate spiritual qualities, to devote oneself to true knowledge, to do what is best in the context of eternity, to wish good for the entire community, to be truly faithful to God, and to follow the Prophet in the matters of the [[Sharia|Shari’a]]."<ref name="AnsariMuhammad">Ansari, Muhammad Abdul Haq. "The Doctrine of One Actor: Junayd's View of Tawhid." The Muslim World 1(1983): 33–56. Electronic.</ref> This starts with the practice of [[asceticism]] (''zuhd'') and continues with withdrawal from society, intensive concentration on devotion ([[ibadah]]) and remembrance ([[dhikr]]) of God, sincerity (''ikhlas''), and contemplation (''muraqaba'') respectively; contemplation produces [[Fana (Sufism)|fana]].<ref name="AnsariMuhammad" />
Junayd spend 40 years in his mystic course praying while sacrificing his sleep and any other worldly desires, but then a conceit in his heart arose that he has achieved his goal.{{Citation needed|date=February 2024}} By then he inspired by God that "He who is not worthy of union, all his good works are but sins." This meant that the prayers which become a source of pride are useless, as true prayer makes a person more humble and devoted to God. His name became famous in many parts of the world despite the persecution he faced and the tongues of slander shot at him. Even then, he did not start preaching until 30 of the great saints indicated to him that he should now call men to God. However, he chose not to preach as yet, saying, "While the master is there, it is not

Also, according to Sells, "Junayd seems to presuppose that his hearer or reader has had the experience about which he is speaking – or, even more radically, that the hearer or reader is able to enter that experience, or some re-creation of it – at the moment of encounter with Junayd's words."<ref name="SellsMichael" /> This statement makes it seem like Junayd was writing to a specific sect of the elite that he described earlier. The elite that he refers to are the elect, or "a tightly knit group of 'brethren' that Junayd designates by such phrases as 'the choice of believers' or 'the pure ones'. They play significant roles in the community of believers."<ref name="KaramustafaAhmet" />
