While we're at it, I'd like to ask about Suhrawardi, which some time ago a poster wrote was founder of one of the orthodox Turuq acknowledged by Deobandis. I tried looking him up, and found Shaikh Shihabuddin Suhrawardi who is called al-Maqtul. Is he the same guy? The article (admittedly it is Wikipedia) says he was executed by the Sultan Malik al-Zahir of Egypt for strange teachings.

Or did I read about the wrong guy, and it's another one named Suhrawardi that the Deobandi acknowledge (Abu al-Najib Suhrawardi or Abu Hafs Omar Suhrawardi)?
