`` shahāb ad-dīn '' yahya ibn habash suhrawardī -lrb- , also known as sohrevardi -rrb- was a persian philosopher , a sufi and founder of illuminationism , an important school in islamic philosophy and mysticism that drew upon zoroastrian and platonic ideas .
the `` light '' in his `` philosophy of illumination '' is a divine and metaphysical source of knowledge .
he is referred to by the honorific title `` shaikh al-ʿishraq '' `` master of illumination '' and `` shaikh al-maqtul '' `` the murdered master '' , in reference to his execution for heresy .
mulla sadra , the persian sage of the safavid era described suhrawardi as the `` reviver of the traces of the pahlavi -lrb- iranian -rrb- sages '' , and suhrawardi , in his magnum opus `` the philosophy of illumination '' , thought of himself as a reviver or resuscitator of the ancient tradition of persian wisdom .
