Baghdad councils

The city of Baghdad is one of the greatest cities in the world in the Middle Ages, as it rivaled Constantinople, the Byzantine capital, and Damascus, the Umayyad capital, and was not matched by other cities such as Cordoba and Cairo. It is the land of scholars and the living of saints, and among the Arab and Islamic cities, no city received the care of researchers, scholars, historians, and geographers like Baghdad. Arabs, Muslims, and foreigners, including orientalists and others, paid attention to describing Baghdad, recording its news, the news of its men, and writing about it in various fields. The late Ibrahim Abdul Ghani Al-Durubi Al-Baghdadi addressed this topic in his book (Al-Baghdadis: Their News and Their Councils), in which he recorded the news of the people of Baghdad and their councils from the late Ottoman era in Iraq, mentioning in his book the nature of each council and the people who attended these councils, which Al-Baghdadi discussed in his book. He listed, by way of example and not limited to, the council of Sheikh Amjad Al-Zahawi, the council of Sheikh Asim Al-Kilani, the council of Sheikh Naji Al-Din, the preacher, the council of Abdul Qadir Al-Khatib Al-Azmi, the council of Sheikh Abdullah Al-Sheikhli, and the council of Sheikh Kamal Al-Din Al-Tai.
