Biography
He spent his childhood and youth in Vasite and Tustar, where his father, apparently, was a cotton carver (nickname Hallaj means "cotton carver"). Hallaj became a student of the famous Sufi Sahl al-Tustari and moved with him to Basra . Later, already in Baghdad , the outstanding mystics Amr al-Makki and Junaid were also his teachers. Hallagh soon marries, and he gives birth to a son, to whom, basically, we owe information about his father. Fighting against the elitism of Sufism, he wore not a Sufi hair shirt, but a simple warrior robe.
Halladge was persecuted not only by faithful theologians who accused him of non-observance of rituals, denial of ritual, claims of self-deification, public miracles, but also by many Sufis who accused the preacher of divulging divine secrets and even called Halladzh a charlatan. Hallagh publicly proclaimed the path of ecstatic unity with God as the only true one and not requiring the addition of external ritual piety to it. For heresy, he was imprisoned in Baghdad prison, where he spent 11 years, and executed.

Teaching
- During one of the meditations, he exclaimed: “Ana-l-Haqq” (I am Truth ), for which he was accused of blasphemy , was thrown into prison ( 913 ), where he wrote his only treatise “Kitab at-tawasin”. Then he was executed. Rumi deciphered what Hallagh said “I am God” as great humility, and not arrogance at all. The man affirming, “I am God,” implies that he is not, but only God. From love for God, a person feels a complete merger with him [5] .
- Following Junaid, he adhered to the doctrine of fan - the dissolution of mysticism in God.
- Hallag also refers to Iblis , expelled from paradise for his love of God: he refused to bow to the crown of creation, man, for he considered only God to be worthy of worship.
