metadata.value: This article explores the life and literary creativity of the medieval Dagestani scientist — Ali b.
  Muhammad al-Baghdadi (Bagdadilav), known as a specialist in Islamic law, Tassavuf, poetry
  and grammar of the Persian language. The subject of our research was the origin, the major
  events of the scientist’s life, as well as his literary heritage in the Avar language. Evidence suggests
  that al-Baghdadi may have Ottoman origin. In particular, an analysis of the work of al-
  Baghdadi speaks of this. Being a native of Iraq, Ottoman was his mother tongue, not Arabic.
  Arriving at the end of the first quarter of the 17th century in Dagestan, he continued his studies
  here. He studied in the villages of Highland Dagestan (Kudali and Ruguja). It can be argued
  that he was a follower of the Sufi Tarikat Khalwatiyya, who received permission to mentor
  from Shaykh Davud al-Kudali. Until now, researchers have been interested in the Arabic and
  Turkic works of al-Baghdadi. The author was able to find four poems of al-Baghdadi in the
  Avar language in manuscripts from the 17th century. The article presents the full text of four
  poetic texts in Russian and their facsimiles. Three of them are written in the instructive genre
  of poetry (Zukhdiya), and the fourth is an elegy (Marsiya). This piece of poetry is dedicated
  to five dead scientists from the village of Ruguja. The manuscripts, in which these poems are
  revealed, were rewritten by his friends, scientists — Shaban al-Ubudi and Muhammad al-Iri.
  The author discovered that al-Baghdadi was interested in the biography of a famous Sufi poet
  Nasimi (14 c.), who belonged to the extreme Shiite sect of the Hurufi. Despite this, the author
  himself strictly adhered to the Sunni Islam’s Shafi mazhab. Moreover, he is the author of a legal
  essay on the Shafiit mazhab. Its content excludes the possibility of al-Baghdadi’s belonging to
  the Hurufi sect.
