Junaid
जुनैद
said ju-NAID
also written: Junaid Baghdadi, Junayd
Meaning
Junaid of Baghdad, the early Sufi master celebrated for his sober, balanced mysticism.
Usage & notes
Iqbal names Junaid as the type of the disciplined, sober mystic, set against the intoxicated rapture of Bayazid and Hallaj. The pairing lets him weigh measured devotion against ecstatic abandon.
