The angelology found in the Hị kmat al-ishrāq of Shihāb al-Dīn al-Suhrawardī al-Maqtūl (d. 1191) has been the source of much debate. In many of his studies of Suhrawardian philosophy, Henry Corbin stresses the Persian influence on al-Suhrawardī’s thought, especially Suhrawardian angelology. Al-Suhrawardī does refer to Zoroastrianism in his introduction to the Hị kmat al-ishrāq, but to what extent is his angelology Zoroastrian? Does the use of Zoroastrian terminology and vocabulary mean that the angelology is Zoroastrian? This paper will explore Suhrawardian angelology, attempting to place it in context and to assess its provenance. It will be seen that the potential influences on his angelology are far wider than scholars, such as Corbin, have suggested in the past. Although focusing on al-Suhrawardī’s Hị kmat al-ishrāq, his use of angels in his other works will also be considered.
