Baha al-Din Muhammad-i Walad (Persian: بها الدین محمد ولد), more popularly known as Sultan Walad (سلطان ولد), was a Sufi, Hanafi Maturidi Islamic scholar and one of the founders of the Mawlawiya (مولویه) order.[1]
Sultan Walad was the eldest son of Jalal Al-Din Rumi, Persian poet.[2] Sultan Walad's mother was Jowhar Khatun, daughter of the Lala Sharaf-ud-Din of Samarkand. The marriage took place in 623 AH (about 1226 AD),[3] so Sultan Walad was born around 1227.
