ʿAbd-Al-Razzāq B. ʿAlī B. Al-Hosayn Lāhījī (died c. 1072 AH [1662 CE]) was an Iranian theologian, poet and philosopher.[1] His mentor in philosophy was his father-in-law Mulla Sadra.
Hailing from Lahijan in Gilan, he spent most of his life in Qom. Abd al-Razzaq was a son-in-law of Mulla Sadra along with Molla Mohsen Fayz Kashani.[2] His son Hasan would become another prominent theologian and philosopher of the Safavid dynasty.[3] Seyyed Hossein Nasr knows him among the intellectual figures in Persia.[4] Abd al-Razzaq was in agreement with Molla Sadra as to the contrast between primacy of quiddity and primacy of existence.[5]
According to Madlung, Abd-Razzaq taught at the Masumieh madrasah. There his prominent pupils included his sons Hasan and Ebrahim as well as Qazi Saeed Qommi.[6]
Lāhīǰī stands at the end of a transition in Islamic scholastic theology in which the thought system of kalam was gradually replaced by that of falsafa, heavily influenced by the school of Avicenna.[1] Lahiji in fact developed a form of Kalam which is hardly distinguishable from Hikmat, although at least in his better known works such as the "Gawhar-e morād" he does not follow the main doctrinal teachings of Mulla Sadra, as on the unity of Being and the catharsis of the faculty of imagination.[7]
