Abu Mo’in Hamid ad-Din Nasir ibn Khusraw al-Qubadiani or Nāsir Khusraw Qubādiyānī Balkhi (spelled as ''Nasir Khusrow'' and ''Naser Khosrow'' ) (1004 – 1088 CE) ((ペルシア語:ناصر خسرو قبادیانی)) was a Persian poet,〔''Milaha'', V.

PELLAT, (Brill, 1991), 43.〕〔''Nasir-i Khusraw'', Azim Nanji, ''The Encyclopaedia of Islam'', Vol. VII, 1006.〕 philosopher, Isma'ili scholar, traveler and one of the greatest writers in Persian literature. He was born in Qabodiyon, a village in middle-age Bactria in eastern Iranian province of Khorasan,〔(【引用サイトリンク】year=2005 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】)—died c. 1072, /77, Yumgān, Badakshān, Central Asia (in Afghanistan )), poet, theologian, and religious propagandist, one of the greatest writers in Persian literature">year=2011 )〕 now present-day in modern Tajikistan〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Qabodiyon, Tajikistan - Geographical Names, map, geographic coordinates )〕 and died in Yamagan, now Afghanistan. He is considered one of the great poets and writers in Persian literature. The ''Safarnama'', an account of his travels, is his most famous work and remains required reading in Iran even today.〔Ludwig W. Adamec (2009), ''Historical Dictionary of Islam'', p.237.

He also studied Arabic, Turkish, Greek, the vernacular languages of India and Sindh, and perhaps even Hebrew; and had visited Multan and Lahore, and the splendid Ghaznavid court under Sultan Mahmud, Firdousi's patron. He later chose Merv for his residence, and was the owner of a house and garden there. Until A.H. 437 (1046 AD), he worked as a financial secretary and revenue collector for the Seljuk sultan Toghrul Beg, or rather for his brother Jaghir Beg, the emir of Khorasan, who had conquered Merv in 1037. At around this time, inspired by a heavenly voice in a dream, he abjured all the luxuries of his life, and resolved upon a pilgrimage to the holy shrines of Mecca and Medina, hoping to find there the solution to his spiritual crisis. The graphic description of this journey is contained in the ''Safarnama'', which still possesses special value among books of travel, as it contains the most authentic account of the state of the Muslim world in the middle of the 11th century. The minute sketches of Jerusalem and its environs are even today of practical value. During the seven years of his 19,000-kilometre journey (1046–1052), Nasir visited Mecca four times, and performed all the rites and observances of a zealous pilgrim; but he was far more attracted by Cairo, the capital of Egypt, and the residence of the Fatimid caliph-imam Ma'ad al-Mustansir Billah, the Imam of the Ismaili Shi'a Muslims, which was just then waging a deadly war against the Abbasid caliph of Baghdad, and Toghrul Beg the Seljuk, the great defender of the Sunni creed. At the very time of Nasir's visit to Cairo, the power of the Egyptian Fatimids was in its zenith; Syria, the Hejaz, Africa, and Sicily obeyed al-Mustanir's sway, and the utmost order, security and prosperity reigned in Egypt. At Cairo, he learned mainly under the Fatimid ''dā‘ī'' ("missionary") Mu'ayyad fid-Din al-Shirazi, and became thoroughly imbued with the Shi'a Isma'ili doctrines of the Fatimids, and their introduction into his native country was henceforth the sole object of his life. He was raised to the position of ''dā‘ī'' "missionary" and appointed as the ''Hujjat-i Khorasan'', though the hostility he encountered in the propagation of these new religious ideas after his return to Greater Khorasan in 1052 A.D. and Sunnite fanaticism compelled him at last to flee. After wandering from place to place, he found refuge in Yamgan (about 1060 A.D.) in the mountains of Badakhshan, where he spent as a hermit the last decades of his life, gathering a considerable number of devoted adherents, who have handed down his doctrines to succeeding generations. He died in Yamagan in present-day northern Afghanistan.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nasir Khusraw」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
