Life

Babarahim Mullah Wali was born into a family of Mullah Wali, in the city of Namangan, Uzbekistan in 1653 AD. In 1665, at age 12, he went to the city of Kashgar to study under Afaq Khawaja. From 1673 to the end of his life he lived as a travelling mystic. He took the name Babarahim Mashrab as a pseudonym. He is credited with various miracles and the conversion to Islam of Galdan Boshugtu Khan of the Qalmaq empire.[2] In 1711, he was hanged by the governor of Balkh, Mahmud Bi.

He wrote in both Uzbek and Persian and his famous works “Mabdai nur” and “Kimyo” are still popular today in Central Asia.[3] He left a legacy in terms of size and genres of art that is still not defined, and he had a significant impact on the creation of the next century or so of literature.[4]^{[better source needed]}
