Suhrawardi is probably Yaqut's most famous pupil. Though little is recorded of his life, he is known to have belonged to the Suhrawardiyya, an important Sufi order founded by his great-grandfather. He spent most of his life in Baghdad, and according to Qadi Ahmad, designed most of the texts inscribed on buildings there. Works on paper by him are dated between AH 701-732/1301-1332 AD (Sheila Blair, Islamic Calligraphy, Edinburgh, 2008, p.249).
