Abstract :
Jalal Al-Din Suyūti(849 -911A.H) is Sunnite great Jurisconsult, translator and commentator. He has wrote various works about Islamic sciences. Although, majority of his works are referring to the holy Quran, narrative (Hadith), history, Islamic Jurisprudence, and Arabic literature, other ones such as Tayid Al-HaqiqahAl- aliyyahand Tashyid Al-Al-Tariqah Al-Shazliyyah show his Sufi tendencies. He at the same time criticizes those persons that claim allegedly are Sufi and defends real ones. Jalal Al-Din in his Sufi works has not offered new Ideas and opinions, but rather has tried to transmit other Sufi Mentor’s thoughts. He has received his Sufi cloak from Kamal Al-Din, the so called Ibn Imam Al-Kameliyah, and Shams Al-Din Mouhammad, and because of this he can be attached to Ahmadiyyah, Qaderiyyah, and Suhrawardiyyah orders. But there are some indications which refer to his relation with Shazliyyah order.
