Nur Ali Elahi (or Ostad Elahi var. Nūr ‘Alī Ilāhī, Nour Ali Elahi, Persian: نورعلی الهی - استاد الهی ) (September 11, 1895 - October 19, 1974) was a spiritual thinker, musician, philosopher and jurist who dedicated his life to investigating the metaphysical dimension of human beings.
Ostad Elahi's genius was especially manifest in the realms of spirituality, mysticism, and music. He was profoundly learned in the field of theology and possessed a deep understanding of spirituality and matters pertaining to the spirit. More notable, however, was the fusion of his erudite methodology with his profound internal experiences on the path of spiritual perfection. The practical and tangible aspects of his novel approach to spirituality led him to numerous discoveries that resulted from personal observation and experience rather than abstract philosophical deductions.
While his scholarly approach demonstrates his profound understanding of religion and philosophy, the dimensions of his thought reach far beyond the limits of traditional discourse. Indeed, his words not only bear witness to the general experiences shared by each human being in the depths of his or her conscience, but indeed encompass the whole of humanity regardless of geographical or cultural differences.
Ostad Elahi's thoughts—as reflected in his writings and more often expressed through conversations in intimate gatherings of family and friends—coupled with the attraction of his spiritual personality led numerous people to revere and venerate him during his lifetime. Yet he shunned any outward displays of this reverence, naturally induced by his stature, to such an extent that it was as if he were just an ordinary individual.
As a musical master, Ostad Elahi's extraordinary skills were matched only by his affectionate modesty. Despite his virtuosity, he never used his talent as a means to acquire fame. His boundless creativity revived and elevated the traditional ancient art of the tanbour. For Ostad, music played a primary role in his life—not a day would go by that he didn't devote several hours to it—though its application was solely limited to its spiritual dimension: the tanbour was a means for contemplating the Source and a language for worship and prayer.
