Fażlu l-Lāh Astar-Ābādī (Persian: فضلالله استرآبادی, 1339/40 in Astarābād – 1394 in Nakhchivan), also known as Fażlullāh Tabrīzī Astarābādī by a pseudonym al-Ḥurūfī and a pen name Nāimī, was a Persian mystic who founded the Ḥurūfī movement. The basic belief of the Ḥurūfiyyah is that the God is reflected in the signs of Letters, which is ultimately derived from the Hermetic doctrines introduced into Shi'ism by Haydar Amuli, like the Microcosm–macrocosm analogy. His followers first came from the village of Toqchi near Isfahan and from there, the fame of his small community spread throughout Khorasan, Iraq, Azerbaijan and Shirvan. The center of Fażlullāh Nāimī's influence was Baku and most of his followers came from Shirvan. Among his followers was the famous Ḥurūfī poet Seyyed Imadaddin Nasimi, one of the greatest Turkic mystical poets of the late 14th and early 15th centuries.
